Does Menopause Cause Hair Loss?

Yes, in short menopause can cause or contribute to hair loss and hair thinning. Luckily with advancements in the hair loss industry there are preventative measures and steps you can take if you’ve already started to notice a decline.

Menopause is a natural phase in every woman’s life, marking the end of her menstrual cycle. It usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, and while it’s a normal biological process, it can bring about a slew of changes and challenges, one of which is hair loss.

What Happens During Menopause?

During menopause, your body goes through significant hormonal shifts. Estrogen levels drop, which can lead to a variety of symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, and changes in hair health. Many women notice their hair becoming thinner and more brittle; some experience female pattern hair loss.

Understanding Female Pattern Hair Loss

Female pattern hair loss is a common form of hair thinning that affects many women, especially during and after menopause. Unlike male pattern baldness, which often results in distinct bald patches, female pattern hair loss usually manifests as thinning hair on the top and crown of the scalp. Instead, women tend to notice a more general thinning, making it seem like their hair is getting thinner.

Why Does This Happen?

Hormones are the main culprits. During menopause, the balance between estrogen and androgens (male hormones present in small amounts in women) shifts. Higher levels of androgens can shrink hair follicles, leading to thinner and weaker hair.

Will Hair Loss from Menopause Grow Back?

The good news is that hair loss from menopause isn’t always permanent. However, the decrease in oestrogen during perimenopause and menopause can disrupt this balance. This drop in oestrogen reduces the growth phase from ninety percent to sixty percent and increases the shedding phase, leading to more hair loss and less hair growth.
