Brief Answer:
Look for other causes

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HCM. I have gone through the question and understand your concerns.

Once thyroid function is normal, the hair loss may not be related to hypothyroidism. You should look for other causes like vitamin D deficiency, calcium deficiency, mineral deficiencies, androgen excess, auto immune causes, local skin problems like dandruff, etc

I think a good dermatologist can help you with evaluation and treatment.

Hope I have answered your questions. If you have any further queries I will be happy to help you
