When hormonal changes show in your hair
Menopause brings a range of physical changes, and hair is no exception. The reduction in oestrogen influences the hair growth cycle, sebum production and the thickness of the hair fibre. Many women describe the result as diffuse thinning, a different texture, reduced volume and increased fragility.
The experience is not the same for everyone: some women notice gradual and subtle changes, others perceive a more obvious shift. In both cases, a personalised approach can make a meaningful difference to the appearance and perceived health of the hair.
Common signs
- Visibly finer, less voluminous hair
- Reduced volume from the roots
- Wider parting or areas of reduced coverage
- Drier, more fragile hair or a different texture
- Slower growth and increased perceived shedding
Common causes
- Reduction in oestrogen and shifts in the hormonal profile
- Slower cellular and follicular metabolism
- Reduced sebum production (drier scalp)
- Associated nutritional deficiencies (iron, vitamin D, protein)
- Stress and sleep disruptions common during this phase
What Kronocare does
A professional trichoscopy check-up allows us to observe the current condition of the scalp and hair fibre, understand the extent of the changes and build a personalised cosmetic protocol. The programme may include density-boosting and regenerating treatments in the Hair Lab and an at-home routine formulated for a drier scalp and more delicate hair. All consultations are available in English.
