My self confidence has taken a hit. I’m literally embarrassed to be seen by other people, and it's making me introverted into nearly a recluse. I started buying tons of hats to hide it...but ohh what I would give to have a head full of hair again.

Is there anything I can do about this hair loss deal?” - Amanda T, 48

Women don't expect to lose their hair (unlike men). 

So, when it happens to women like Amanda, it can be extraordinarily traumatic. 

We have, on average, 100,000 hairs on our scalp and even through our many changes in hair lengths, roots and visits to our hairdressers, those hairs do still manage to grow. 

So, why are women still losing hair during menopause?

The answer, of course, is hormones. Hormonal fluctuations are responsible for hair loss during perimenopause and menopause. 

Estrogen helps your hair on your head longer and helps with hair growth. When estrogen levels decline, hair growth slows and hair loss becomes more pronounced. 

Also, because of the drop in estrogen, male hormones take dominance, resulting in male-pattern balding symptoms like shrinking hair follicles and hair loss.

What to do about the hair fall?

Firstly, you need to pay attention to your hair. Female hair loss can often be combatted when targeted early. 

So if you start to notice a thinning over the crown or widening of their part, try these tips to help with the hair fall:

Eat more Protein

Hair is made out of protein, so it is essential that you are getting sufficient amounts of it in your diet. Good sources of protein are egg whites, low-fat cottage cheese, lean meat, legumes, and nuts.

Vitamins and minerals

Which ones should we be focusing on for hair health and, in particular, hair loss? Iron, zinc, biotin, and vitamin A are just a few of the nutrients needed to keep hair healthy and strong. 

Wear a hat outdoors

You should also wear a hat when you’re outside to protect your hair and scalp from the harsh sun. Consuming more vitamin E will also help keep your hair, skin, and scalp protected.

Be gentle with your hair

Ease up when brushing or combing to make sure you're not pulling out any hair. Avoid tight hairstyles or twisting, rubbing, or pulling your hair to avoid unnecessary stress to your hair and scalp.

Avoid harsh chemical products

When experiencing hair loss, it might be tempting to hide it by dyeing, curling, or straightening your hair. However, the harsh chemical products might exacerbate the problem. Try switching to more natural products.

PS. These tips are especially helpful in improving your hair loss symptoms!
