Hello,
I think I can help. Your hair is thin due to your hypothyroidism. Often people with a low thyroid will lose their hair. The treatment for this is to treat the thyroid with medication like you are already doing. It will take several weeks for your thyroid to get back to a normal level. Once it does, continue taking your medication and your hair will start to grow back. Don't worry, it may take awhile but you will soon have your beautiful locks back. It may take a few months for your hair to grow but it will be just as it was before you started to have thyroid problems.
