Yeah, it gets back to normal - and I am on synthetics like Synthroid,
not Armour. My hair now is as thick and oily as before hypo, there is so
much hair I keep ruining my elastic bands after a couple weeks because
the hair is too heavy. When I first got treatment after 5 years of
symptoms there was barely anything there. I had to keep it
short-but-not-too-short in a ear-length bob and use all sorts of hair
thickening products to get it to look decent. Now I put pomade on it to
get it to be less bushy.
