Menopause-related hair loss is primarily driven by hormonal changes, particularly the decline in oestrogen and progesterone levels. These hormones play a key role in supporting hair growth and maintaining healthy follicles. As their levels drop, hair can become finer, grow more slowly, and fall out more easily. At the same time, androgens (male hormones) may become more dominant, potentially shrinking hair follicles and increasing hair thinning, especially around the crown and parting.
Other contributing factors can include increased stress, thyroid imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and poor scalp circulation. Together, these issues can lead to more noticeable hair shedding and slower regrowth during and after menopause.
Hormones influence every stage of the hair growth cycle. Oestrogen and progesterone help keep hair in the growing (anagen) phase for longer, promoting thickness and length. When these hormones decline during menopause, the growth phase shortens and more hair enters the resting (telogen) phase, leading to increased shedding.
In addition, rising levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a by-product of testosterone, can cause hair follicles to shrink. This is known as follicular miniaturisation and results in shorter, weaker hairs. Over time, it can lead to visible thinning, especially at the top and sides of the scalp.
While hormonal changes are unavoidable, there are several natural ways to support hair health during menopause:
Consistency with these changes can help improve hair texture, volume, and overall scalp health over time.
