Polycystic ovarian syndrome is one reason women might experience hair loss. PCOS a common condition that impacts normal hormone production in up to 15% of women. Women who have PCOS produce an excess of male sex hormones, which can affect their menstrual cycle, fertility, metabolism and more.

Doctors don’t know exactly what causes PCOS. In many patients, high levels of male hormones called androgens prevent the ovaries from functioning normally. Genes, insulin resistance and inflammation seem to play a role in excess androgen production for women with polycystic ovarian syndrome. PCOS also seems to affect women beyond their childbearing years and persists into menopause.

Read on to understand the why and how behind PCOS-related hair loss, plus info on the best products to encourage thicker, fuller looking hair.

Why Does PCOS Cause Hair Loss?

It’s normal for females (and males) to produce androgens, which are a group of hormones important for general health. However, women who have PCOS produce excess androgens and may experience more hair growth on their face and bodies. Excess androgen production might also cause hair thinning, especially at the front and sides of the head, but it doesn’t necessarily result in total baldness.

“Because there is excess androgen, this affects the scalp hair adversely by causing hair loss similar to what happens in men with thinning hair and balding,” explained Dr. Kim Langdon, a board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist with Medzino. “The androgen receptors on the face of both men and women are triggered to grow hair while the opposite effect happens on the scalp.”

Androgenic effects on hair follicles can cause acne, excessive body hair growth (hirsutism), thinning hair and hair loss, depending on where the hair follicles are located.

Is PCOS Hair Loss The Same As Androgenetic Alopecia?

Alopecia is the scientific term for hair loss, and androgenetic alopecia is hair loss caused by excess levels of androgen. Polycystic ovarian syndrome is just one reason that a person might have elevated levels of androgen, meaning PCOS can cause androgenetic alopecia, but they are not one and the same.

What Are The Symptoms of PCOS Hair Loss?

Hair loss caused by PCOS is typically seen as thinning on the top and sides of the head, a pattern that’s often referred to as female pattern hair loss or female pattern baldness. But hair loss can happen in other areas of the scalp, too.

“We also see two other patterns,” said Dr. Jovana Lekovich, a board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist with RMA of New York. “The ‘Ludwig’s pattern’ is characterized by thinning of the crown region with the preservation of the frontal hairline. The ‘Christmas tree pattern’ represents a type of hair loss where the frontal hairline remains preserved, while the crown is thinning, starting at the parting of the hair and progressing.”

In other words, while PCOS-related hair loss might typically cause thinner hair at the front and sides of the scalp, you might experience thinning on the crown of your head or in a Christmas tree-like pattern that spreads outward from your part. You might also experience general thinning all over the scalp.

How Is PCOS Hair Loss Diagnosed?

If you haven’t yet been diagnosed with PCOS, a doctor will talk to you about other symptoms you might be experiencing. Hair loss on its own is rarely the only PCOS symptom. Women might also experience these common symptoms:

• Ovarian cysts
• High levels of male hormones
• Irregular or skipped periods

“PCOS is considered a set of symptoms, this is why it is referred to as a syndrome,” explained Dr. Erum Ilyas, board-certified dermatologist and founder of Amber Noon. PCOS can also be difficult to pinpoint based on symptoms, since a woman may visit a dermatologist for increased signs of acne, their primary doctor for weight gain or an OB/GYN for irregular periods—not realizing that any (or all!) of these symptoms are a part of PCOS. Some women have several clear symptoms, while others might only have one or two that might not point directly to PCOS.

“The two main criteria are irregular periods or problems with ovulation and high androgens. High androgens either present clinically (acne, hair growth on the face, hair loss on the head) or they will be high on the blood tests,” explained Dr. Tara Scott of Revitalize Medical Group.

Since it can be tricky to diagnose, doctors will likely use a variety of tools to diagnose PCOS. Aside from examining your scalp when experiencing hair loss, they will probably carry out a full physical examination along with blood tests and an ultrasound to see if there are any cysts on your ovaries.

If you’ve already been diagnosed with PCOS and are experiencing hair loss, be sure to see your doctor or an endocrinologist who can provide a medical diagnosis and rule out other causes of hair loss.

What’s The Treatment For PCOS Hair Loss?

Because one of the main complications associated with PCOS hair loss is a hormonal imbalance, it’s important to treat it, according to Dr. Susan Bard, a medical doctor with Vive Dermatology in New York City. The hormonal imbalance associated with PCOS is connected to and impacted by several factors, so it might take a multipronged approach to treatment in order to manage the condition and any hair loss caused by it.

According to Dr. Ilyas, “the hair loss associated with PCOS is generally approached in a similar way to female patterned hair loss. The one caveat is that I generally add oral medications earlier than later for PCOS patients knowing that they are generally younger and can often benefit from early intervention.”

Prescription Drugs

“Commonly used treatments include birth control pills and spironolactone, which is an oral medication with anti-androgenic activity,” advised Dr. Lekovich. Another commonly prescribed medication is cyproterone acetate, used to treat hirsutism and acne.

Find Out: Which Medications Can Cause Hair Loss?

Platelet-Rich Plasma

Scalp platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a process that collects plasma from your blood in order to inject it into the scalp to promote hair growth. It’s a relatively new procedure that has shown promise as a potential hair loss treatment. “PRP injections can be added to an existing therapeutic regimen as well,” added Dr. Ilyas. Treatments can cost around $500-$600 per session, according to Dr. Clara Yu.

Hair Transplant

“Eventually, hair transplant can also be an option for more severe cases that are resistant to other treatments,” said Dr. Lekovich. According to Healthline, hair transplants can cost up to $15,000 and aren’t covered by insurance providers. Additionally, there’s no guarantee that a hair transplant will be successful.

Tips For Thicker, Fuller Looking Hair

As we’ve covered, PCOS can be a complex condition affecting a variety of bodily systems. Aside from medication, here are a few other ways you can manage PCOS while supporting healthy looking hair:

Zinc Supplements

“Some data suggests that daily zinc use might improve hair loss as well as hirsutism in women with PCOS,” explained Dr. Lekovich. A 2015 study showed that taking zinc supplements daily for eight weeks helped women who were suffering with PCOS-related hair loss.

Also: Is It Safe to Take Prenatal Vitamins for Hair Growth?

Weight Loss

Losing weight can help you reduce the androgen levels in your body, and weight gain often comes along with PCOS: 80% of women who have the condition are either overweight or obese. Reducing androgen levels in the body will help with hair loss. “Even a 5-10% weight loss can lower androgen levels which in turn can improve PCOS symptoms, including hair loss,” explained Dr. Lekovich.

Diet and exercise are two tried-tested-and-true ways of losing weight. Research papers suggest that 30 minutes of exercise three times per week can help women with PCOS lose weight. And a diet that sources carbohydrates from fruits, vegetables and whole grains can help regulate menstrual cycles better than some other diets.

Biotin Supplements

Biotin has been shown to help women with perceived hair issues. In one study, women took a biotin-rich Marine Protein Supplement for 90 and 180 days and reported increased hair growth. Your body needs biotin to metabolize carbohydrates, fats, and amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. Since protein is important essential for hair and nail growth, biotin is often recommended as a supplement and it can be found in lots of wellness and beauty products.

VEGAMOUR offers two great biotin supplements (both in delicious gummy form):

• GRO Biotin Gummies
• GRO+ Advanced Gummies

Both contain the vitamins and minerals you need to support healthy hair such as zinc, folic acid, B-5, -6 and -12 — plus, of course, B-7, also known as biotin.

A Holistic Approach To Hair Health

Aside from these recommendations, here are some other suggestions that may benefit hair health:

• Eat a well-balanced diet with plenty of protein.
• Take a daily supplement containing vitamins B-7 (biotin) and B complex, zinc, iron and vitamins C, E and A.
• Massage your scalp to promote circulation every time you shampoo your hair.
• Avoid pulling, twisting or overbrushing your hair.
• Minimize heating styling, bleaching and chemical treatments.
• Manage and minimize stress.
• Use a hair serum to encourage thicker, fuller-looking hair.

Graves’ disease is one of several autoimmune diseases that can impact hair follicles and growth cycles. It can develop in anyone at any age, though most often it occurs between ages 30 to 50 and is significantly more likely to affect women than men.

If you are managing Graves’ disease or other thyroid disorders, you might start to notice you’re losing hair and wonder if the condition is to blame. Read on to understand the Graves disease and hair loss connection and what you can do to combat thinning hair ASAP.

What Is Graves Disease?

Graves disease is an autoimmune condition that impacts the thyroid gland. The thyroid is part of a vitally important system called the endocrine system, which secretes various hormones to regulate many different bodily functions, including how your body metabolizes and uses energy.

With Graves’ thyroid dysfunction, the immune system mistakenly targets the thyroid and results in the overproduction of thyroid hormones (called hyperthyroidism). A number of disorders can cause hyperthyroidism, though Graves’ disease is the most common in the United States. When the thyroid is overactive, symptoms can range in severity but might include things like:

• Irregular and/or fast heartbeat
• Diarrhea
• Irritability
• Nervousness
• Muscle weakness
• Trembling hands
• Fatigue
• Weight loss
• Insomnia

In addition to these symptoms, research has shown that there is a direct connection between thyroid hormones and hair follicle function. Hair shaft growth and life cycles can be impacted by both an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) and an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism).

Can Graves Disease Cause Hair Loss?

“Thyroid disease, both Graves’ disease and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, can result in hair loss,” said Dr. Daniel Grabell, a board-eligible dermatologist with Princeton Dermatology.

Whether it be hyperthyroidism (as with Graves’) or hypothyroidism (as with Hashimoto’s), a dysfunction in the thyroid primarily impacts the production of two hormones: T3 and T4. Research suggests that these two hormones are directly involved in the functioning of our hair follicles and can impact the growth of hair shafts, as well as their texture and color.

Both overactive and underactive thyroids can cause dry, brittle strands or thinning hair on your scalp and body. And if hair falls out, it may not be replaced with new growth, which can mean thinning hair all over the scalp and other areas, like your eyebrows, eyelashes and body hair.

In addition to the direct impact Graves’ can have on the growth cycles of hair, the disease also can impact your hair indirectly. Here’s how.

Anemia

Anemia is common among folks who have Graves’ disease, with one study showing that about 22% of participants with Graves’ were also anemic. Anemia is defined by a lack of red blood cells in the body, which can impact your hair. Follicles are dependent on red cells to transport the oxygen and nutrients they require for healthy hair growth.

Uncover: Can Anemia or Iron Deficiency Cause Hair Loss?

Celiac Disease

Celiac disease can also co-occur with Graves’ disease, and it’s estimated that about 2%-5% of people with an autoimmune thyroid condition develop Celiac disease. With CD, the intestines create an immune response to gluten, which most commonly leads to pain, inflammation and diarrhea. And because the intestinal inflammation created by Celiac disease can inhibit the absorption of nutrients, anemia is also a common occurrence with Celiac disease.

Thyroid Medications

Though it is considered to be quite uncommon, certain drugs used to treat thyroid conditions may also contribute to hair thinning. Carbimazole and propylthiouracil are antithyroid drugs that might, in rare cases, lead to hair loss.

Other Autoimmune Conditions

People who have Graves’ may also be at a higher risk for developing other autoimmune conditions, and there are emerging relationships between Graves’ and polycystic ovarian syndrome, as well as Graves’ and lupus. The relationships between these autoimmune conditions require more research to fully understand, but in both cases, hair thinning and hair loss could be complications.

When it comes to hair loss specifically, another autoimmune hair loss condition called alopecia areata (covered below) is also seen at higher rates in folks with Graves’ disease.

What Kind of Hair Loss Does Graves Cause? 

Hair changes and loss directly related to Graves’ typically show up as a general weakening and breaking of the hair strands. The disease also can cause thinning throughout the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes and other body hair. Not only that, but hair can also become more fine, dull and lackluster, according to Dr. Grabell. 

Two other more specific forms of hair loss are also associated with Graves’ disease.

Alopecia Areata

“It’s important to note that other hair disorders are commonly associated with Graves’ disease, including alopecia areata,” said Dr. Sandra El Hajj, medical doctor and founder of the American Preventive Health Organization.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition where hair is lost in round patches on the scalp and possibly other areas of the body. While AA is usually temporary, chronic or long-term cases can result in more permanent and widespread hair loss.

Dig Deeper: Alopecia Areata Explained

Telogen Effluvium

Telogen effluvium is a form of temporary hair loss that happens when the body or hair follicles undergo a drastic shock or change. The shock triggers the follicles to transition out of the active growing stage (anagen phase), into the resting stage (telogen phase) and finally into the shedding stage of the growth cycle.

The drastic hormonal changes that can come along with Graves’ disease could trigger an episode of telogen effluvium. While this form of hair loss can feel very distressing since a significant amount of hair loss happens in a short period of time, it’s usually temporary and resolves on its own.

More: Telogen Effluvium Explained

Treatment for Graves’ Disease

The best way to manage hair loss associated with Graves’ disease is to treat the underlying cause: imbalanced thyroid hormones. Your doctor will want to run a full thyroid panel to understand what you need in terms of medications and treatment.

“So, regulating your thyroid hormones will doubly benefit your hair loss by fixing the thyroid functions and regulating hormones. As a result, hair loss will slow down significantly,” explained Dr. El Hajj.

Graves’ disease is often very successfully managed with medications, but it may take some time for your body to get back to a state of balance and for your follicles to shift back into normal hair growth and cycles. In other words, be patient!

Even when functioning normally, hair growth cycles take time. Hair grows, on average, about one-half inch per month, so it might take several months before you start to really see new growth. Also, new hair growth may differ in color or texture from your original hair.

Understand: The Ultimate Guide to Hair Growth Cycles

Holistic Hair Health for Graves Disease 

When managing Graves disease hair loss, there are a variety of tools at your disposal. For the most part, getting your thyroid hormone levels back in balance is the best way to help your follicles return to normal growth. However, here are a few other ways you can support the process.

Address Your Diet 

While eating a healthy and balanced diet is essential for health, there are specific dietary concerns for folks who are managing Graves’. Food sensitivities and allergies may trigger an immune response that can cause a flare-up in Graves, so be sure to avoid foods you’re allergic or sensitive to. And because there is an increased chance of Celiac disease with Graves’, be mindful of gluten consumption and how it makes you feel.

Graves’ can also be associated with a higher risk of nutritional deficiencies and iron-deficiency anemia, so it might be necessary to focus on getting adequate levels of iron. Osteoporosis can also be a concern, so calcium and vitamin D are other important nutrients to focus on. Last, a condition called Graves’ eye disease has been associated with a deficiency in selenium, which is found in mushrooms, brown rice and sunflower seeds. Consult with your doctor about possible nutritional deficiencies you may experience with Graves’ disease and how to resolve them.

Consider asking your doctor if GRO Biotin Gummies could be valuable in helping your body recover from Graves’ related hair thinning or loss. Don’t let the name fool you — these are anything but basic biotin supplements. Our carefully formulated daily gummies contain many of the vitamins and nutrients your hair needs.

Create a Targeted Hair-Wellness Routine

While your hair follicles and growth cycles get back to normal, it’s important to up your hair wellness game and support your scalp from the inside and out.

Be gentle with hairstyles, heat tools, chemical treatments and products. Also, consider GRO Revitalizing Shampoo & Conditioner. These cruelty-free formulas will coat every strand of your hair in our vegan keratin protein b-SILK™ to give it softness, shine and a little extra volume. Additionally, phyto-actives and organic wild-harvested oils will support your scalp’s microbiome while protecting it from environmental stressors.

Another great addition to any hair-wellness routine is our bestselling GRO Hair Serum, which:

• Reduces signs of shedding by up to 85%*
• Increase the appearance of hair density by up to 56%*

*Based on a 120-day independent, third-party clinical study with 40 participants using GRO Hair Serum once daily.

Practice Stress Management

Stress comes along with its very own “stress hormones,” called cortisol. Not only does Graves’ impact hormones in the body, but the stress associated with managing a health condition (and just life in general!) can add more hormonal imbalance to an already imbalanced system. Chronic stress can have a big impact on your follicles.

Stress management is an important way of supporting your body’s return to normal hair growth cycles. And lots of options exist to reduce cortisol and help your body become more resilient in the face of stress: exercise, meditation, yoga, sunshine and pets are all mood-boosting and cortisol-busting ways of getting more zen.

The Takeaway 

Graves’ disease is an autoimmune thyroid disease that causes the thyroid gland to be overactive, also known as hyperthyroidism. Thyroid-related hair loss might be a complication you experience since hair growth and hair cycles can be directly impacted by the hormonal imbalances created by Graves’, but hair might also be impacted indirectly by anemia, another autoimmune disorder associated with Graves’s and, in rare cases, by thyroid medication used to treat Graves’ disease. The good news is that managing the thyroid disorder with medications will generally reverse thyroid hair loss. Be patient, as it might take some time for your body to adjust and return to balance!
