Strange texture hair growth from thyroid problem?
Anybody else have this? I have these short incredibly coarse hairs sticking up and out from my scalp. Texture feels strangely different than the rest of my hair. Most importantly, is there anything I can do about it (other than painfully pluck them all out one by one)? I also have a B12 and iron problem if that makes a difference.

When I had my thyroid removed, I don't know if it was the thyroid or the chemo, but that's when my hair turned wavy. I had stick straight hair as a child.
