Why Your Hair Thinned After Menopause

You are in your late forties or early fifties. Your hair is changing. It is thinner at the crown. It is drier than it used to be. It may be curlier or straighter than before. You feel like you do not recognize your own hair. You wonder if this is permanent.

It is not permanent. But it is a change. Menopause affects your hair. Estrogen levels decline. Testosterone becomes relatively higher. This can lead to thinning at the crown. Your hair texture may change. Straight hair can become curly. Curly hair can become straight. Your scalp may become dry or oily. Hair growth may slow.

Why Menopause Affects Hair

Hormones regulate the hair growth cycle. Estrogen prolongs the growth phase. Testosterone can shorten it. During perimenopause and menopause, estrogen levels decline. Testosterone levels become relatively higher. This changes the balance.

The result is often thinning at the crown. This is called androgenetic alopecia. It is the female pattern of hair loss. Hair becomes thinner, finer, and less dense. The part may widen. The ponytail may feel smaller.

Hormonal changes also affect the hair shaft. The texture may change. This is due to changes in the shape of the hair follicle. Your scalp may also change. Sebum production may decrease. Your scalp becomes drier. It may feel tight or itchy.

Why Alexandria Makes It Harder

Alexandria hard water deposits minerals on your scalp. These minerals can clog follicles. They can create a film that blocks moisture. Your already stressed follicles cannot get the nutrients they need. Thinning accelerates.

The humidity in summer can make your hair more difficult to manage. You may reach for heat styling tools. Heat styling damages already fragile hair.

Seasonal shifts stress your hair. The transition from summer to winter can cause dryness and breakage. Your hair needs extra protection.
