Many women notice changes in their hair during perimenopause and menopause — but with the right support, it’s possible to promote hair vitality as part of a broader healthy aging strategy.
How hormonal changes impact hair:
✅ Declining estrogen reduces hair follicle support and prolongation of the growth phase
✅ Increased androgen activity (relative to estrogen) can promote hair thinning
✅ Reduced progesterone → contributes to hair cycle shortening
✅ Thyroid hormone shifts during this time can further impair hair quality
✅ Stress and cortisol elevation during menopause → increases hair shedding
Common hair changes during perimenopause/menopause:
✅ Diffuse thinning along the crown and temples
✅ Hair becoming finer and more brittle
✅ Increased shedding and slower regrowth
✅ Coexisting skin, mood, and energy changes
How to support hair health through menopause:
✅ Support hormone balance through personalized care
✅ Optimize gut health and nutrient absorption
✅ Address stress resilience and cortisol balance
✅ Include targeted nutrients and antioxidants for hair support
✅ Encourage scalp circulation and hair follicle nourishment
