Menopause & Hair Loss: What Every Woman Should Know
Many women notice changes in their hair during perimenopause and menopause. Thinning hair, increased shedding and reduced volume are all common concerns caused by hormonal changes.
While these changes are common, they are not something you simply have to accept. Understanding the cause is the first step towards healthier hair and restoring confidence.
Hair Loss During Menopause
During menopause, falling oestrogen levels affect the normal hair growth cycle. Hair follicles become less active, the growth phase shortens and hair gradually becomes finer and thinner.
Although hormones are the main cause, several other factors may contribute to menopause-related hair loss.
Hormonal Changes
Lower oestrogen levels shorten the hair growth cycle, causing hair to become finer and shed more readily.
Genetics
A family history of hair loss may increase the likelihood of thinning during menopause.
Lifestyle Factors
Stress, poor nutrition, lack of sleep and thyroid problems can all contribute to hair loss.
Early Diagnosis
Identifying the cause early gives you the best opportunity to manage hair loss effectively.
Recognising the Signs
Hair loss during menopause often develops gradually, making it easy to overlook until the changes become more noticeable.
If you recognise these symptoms, seeking professional advice early can help prevent further progression.
Common Signs
- Widening parting
- Thinning at the crown
- Increased hair shedding
- Hair feels finer
- Reduced hair density
- Loss of volume
Early Diagnosis = Better Hair Preservation = Greater Confidence
