“Will hair grow back after the thyroid is regulated?”
I am a 36 year old female. I want to know if hair will grow back after the thyroid is regulated?

This is, unfortunately, no-one-can-truly-know type question. The majority of the hypothyroidism symptoms completely resolve after thyroid is regulated. But, a few patients never noticed any change in hair growth or weight changes when on appropriate thyroid medications.
If the hair loss was thyroid related then yes
This is a good question but I don't have a good answer. If the hair follicles are still alive, the hair can grow back. If the follicles have died before you got treatment of the thyroid, then it will not grow back. I have known of no resurection for about 2,000. You need to see a dermatologist who can determine if your follicles, all or part, are still functional. This may require a skin biopsy but they can give you the answer.
