    imbalances in thyroid hormones disrupt hair growth cycles

    Thyroid-Related Hair Loss refers to hair loss that occurs due to imbalances in thyroid hormones, which are crucial for regulating metabolism and overall cellular function. Both hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) can disrupt the hair growth cycle, leading to thinning hair or increased hair shedding.
