Having a Full Head of Hair Makes You Look Younger
It's common knowledge that the dreaded
menopausal experiences include things like mood swings and hot
flushes.
Plus a whole host of other unpleasant
symptoms a woman has to go through, because of the hormonal changes
taking place to her body.
And if that doesn't sound frightening
enough, how about adding hair loss to the list?
Hair loss in menopausal women is much
more common than people like to talk about.
But don't worry there are natural ways
to tackle menopausal hair loss.
As a woman you can afford to lose quite
a lot of hair, and still keep the appearance of a full head of hair.
But if it's got to the stage where you can clearly see your scalp
when you part your hair, then your hair loss is pretty advanced at
this stage.
You're not going to recede at the front
the way men do, but you'll probably notice a general thinning across
the top of your scalp area.
Why Does Menopause Cause Hair Loss in The First Place?
Why does menopause cause hair loss in
so many women? Well if your hair loss occurred either during or after
the menopause, nine times out of ten, it will be down to your
hormones changing.
It's an unpleasant part of the ageing
process.
As you know, a pregnant woman often looks more beautiful, with glowing skin. Her hair will be thicker and shinier as well.

Well the opposite happens to your hair
with the onset of the menopause.
You will have less estrogen
proportionate to testosterone. And you're hair will shed in the same
way as a man.
A lot of menopausal women turn to
hormone replacement therapy in order to counteract all the horrible
symptoms that go along with the menopause.
Hormone replacement therapy is not a
treatment for hair loss in it's self. But because it can balance out
your hormones, and reduce symptoms like hot flushes, it may also help
to limit any possible hair loss.
A word of warning though. Quite often
these treatments involve testosterone therapy. And it's testosterone
that is the root cause of hair loss.
Here's what happens.
To keep things simple. An enzyme in
your body goes by the name of alpha 5 reductase. When it reacts with
testosterone, the end result is dihydrotestosterone.
And that's what destroys your hair.
Your hair goes through a cycle of
growing, stopping growing, then falling out. After that new hair
grows in, and goes through the same process.
Unfortunately with dihydrotestosterone
around attacking your hair follicles, each new one gets smaller, and
smaller.
Until they become very fine hairs on
your scalp.
They will be so small you won't see
them, and when you part your hair all you will see is bare scalp.
Treatment For Hair Loss Due to Menopause And Ageing
Rogaine is a very popular treatment for hair loss due to menopause, although technically the active
ingredient that stops hair loss, and can regrow hair in some people,
is actually a drug.
When I say it's a drug though, you
don't actually swallow it, but rather apply it to your scalp. So
there is very minimal if any risk at all.
It's called Minoxidil, and because it's
technically a drug it has been extensively tested by the FDA, and
past as perfectly safe for the public as a solution for hair loss.
Menopause Hair Loss Supplements to Boost Hair Growth
If you're deficient in any nutrients or
vitamins needed for healthy hair growth Har Vokse pills can be taken
on their own, or they can safely be combined with the Rogaine
treatment.
Since Har Vokse is completely natural
and drug-free there has been no involvement with the FDA. But you
don't want to go buying it without seeing the results other people
have had using the product.
You can see the results for the HarVokse clinical tests here.
