Experts answer the most commonly asked questions about hair loss during menopause
, Philip Kingsley’s brand president and consultant trichologist, explains: "The extent of hair changes is largely due to genes and how sensitive your hair follicles are to androgens . Oestrogen is a hair-friendly hormone, helping to keep hair in its anagen phase for longer, and protects against the detrimental effects androgens have on hair follicles.
As menopause causes oestrogen levels to decrease, resulting in higher testosterone in the body, it can have a negative impact on hair follicles. "When oestrogen levels naturally decline during menopause, women often experience excessive hair shedding, as well as the growth of progressively finer and shorter hairs," Anabel explains.Menopausal hair loss can have both a physical and mental health impact on women.
Once you’ve had a consultation and rule out health conditions, you can consider holistic and medical treatments."Eating a healthy, balanced diet is key. The impact nutrition has on hair growth should not be underestimated," explains trichologist Anabel. "Hair is a non-essential tissue, and hair cells are the second fastest growing cells your body makes, so its nutritional requirements are high, even a small deficiency can causeMeera also recommends considering supplements.
HRT restores the hormones your body is low on during menopause. There are different types of HRT, which can relieve some menopausal symptoms and stimulate hair growth."HRT restores your body’s oestrogen to an average pre-menopausal level to relieve menopausal symptoms, and it’s known to help with hair thinning,” explains Anabel.
However, she stresses the importance of speaking to you GP to ensure HRT is suitable for you to take and will not cause more hair loss. "Certain HRT therapies are hair-friendly, but others are not beneficial, and can exacerbate hair thinning," Anabel says.While menopausal hair loss is not reversible, it can be treated.
