Hello,

Thanks for writing to Health Care magic, I am Dr , Muhammad Ahmad , I have read your question closely, I understand your concern and will be helping you with your health related problem.

Hair fall is very common among hypothyroid patients, most important thing to be taken care of in this case is thyroid level, only then oils and medications will start helping.

Vitamin E and zinc are considered very helpful for hair but again i would say that if you are hypothyroid then better consider doing something about your hormone levels instead of waiting for oils to help.
I hope this answered your question, If you have more queries I am happy to answer you.
Regards.

Dr.Muhammad Ahmad
