Yes! One of the major causes of hair losses in both men and women is due to problems with the thyroid. Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism causes hair loss in men and women.

Thyroid can directly affect the hair growth cycle and cause imbalance in the hair cycle that leads to hair loss. It can make the hair remain in the resting stage for a longer period of time and also prevents growth of new hair. As a result, the hair in dormant stage eventually fall out.
