Menopausal Hair Loss? Reclaim Your Hair's Volume: A Guide to Fuller, Healthier Hair

Menopausal Hair Loss

We know menopause can bring a few surprises—hello, hot flashes and sleepless nights—but hair loss? Surely that’s just for the men?

For most women, their locks are a source of confidence, identity, and beauty. After all when your hair looks good, you feel good. So, when menopause throws a curveball at your hair, it’s easy to feel frustrated and even a little lost. Don’t worry, though—we’ve got your back. Let’s look at why this happens and, more importantly, what you can do about it.

Why is my hair thinning during menopause?

First, a little science lesson (don’t zone out yet—it’s important!). Menopause brings about hormonal changes that can directly affect your hair. Specifically, it’s the declining levels of estrogen and progesterone—two hormones that help keep your hair lush and in a growth phase.

When these hormones take a nosedive, another hormone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), steps in. DHT is a byproduct of testosterone, and it loves to shrink hair follicles, which can result in thinner, weaker strands. On top of that, the natural aging process can reduce blood flow to your scalp, making it harder for your hair to get the nutrients it needs to thrive.

The result? Your hair may start shedding more, growing slower, and losing its overall density. While this can feel alarming, know that you’re not alone—this is a common experience during menopause.

How does menopause hair thinning look?

For some women, hair thinning during menopause can look like:

• A widening hair part.

• More hair in the shower drain or on your hairbrush.

• A decrease in overall volume.

• Hair that feels finer or more fragile than it used to.

Unlike male-pattern baldness, which typically results in a receding hairline, menopausal hair thinning tends to be more diffused across the scalp.
