If you’re noticing more hair in the shower or your ponytail feels thinner, it’s not because you’re doing something wrong.
During menopause, hormone fluctuations shorten the hair growth cycle and push more strands into shedding at the same time. Add stress, poor sleep, or nutrient gaps and hair loss accelerates.
Supporting hair health means:
• eating enough to sustain growth
• calming the nervous system
• addressing hormonal changes
• and acting early
This isn’t about cosmetics.
It’s about physiology, and timing matters.
