Menopause and Hair Loss: What’s Really Happening to Your Hair—and How to Help It.
As your body transitions through menopause, a lot changes—your hormones, your skin, your energy levels, and yes, your hair. For many women, hair thinning or increased hair shedding becomes a frustrating and emotional part of the journey.
At Megi Wellness, we understand how deeply personal hair health can be. After all, our founder, Aneta, developed this range after suffering hair thinning in her late 40s. This guide will walk you through why menopausal hair loss happens, how to manage it, and when to introduce Megi’s targeted hair growth solutions into your routine.
Why Does Menopause Affect Your Hair?
During perimenopause and menopause, levels of estrogen and progesterone decline significantly. These hormones help maintain hair in the growth (anagen) phase. As their levels drop, androgens (male hormones) like DHT can increase, leading to follicle shrinkage, slowed growth, and increased hair shedding.
You might notice:
-
Hair feels finer, thinner, or flatter
-
Increased shedding when brushing or washing
-
Thinning along the parting or temples
-
Slower regrowth
It’s not your imagination—and it’s not your fault.
Other Contributing Factors
Menopausal hair loss is often worsened by:
-
Nutritional deficiencies (iron, biotin, zinc, Vitamin D)
-
Thyroid imbalances
-
Chronic stress
-
Sleep disruption
-
Aging scalp health (reduced blood flow, dryness, inflammation)
This is why an inside-out approach is key, supporting both your scalp environment and internal nutrient levels.
How to Treat and Manage Menopausal Hair Thinning
1. Use Targeted Topical Treatments
Look for gentle, non-hormonal formulas that help stimulate the scalp, increase circulation, and strengthen the hair shaft. Megi’s Hair Growth Serum is designed to reactivate dormant follicles and encourage regrowth using clean, proven ingredients.
2. Prioritize Scalp Health
Think of your scalp like soil—healthy soil grows stronger plants. Exfoliate regularly, avoid buildup, and use products with nourishing botanicals and vitamins. Megi’s Simulating Shampoo cleanses gently while feeding the scalp essential nutrients and supporting thicker-looking hair over time.
3. Nourish from Within
Diet and supplements play a major role. During menopause, your body’s nutrient absorption may slow, making supplementation more important. Megi’s Hair Growth Supplement is specially formulated with AnaGain (clinically shown to reduce hair loss by 34% in just 30 days!)
4. Avoid Harsh Styling
Ditch tight hairstyles, high-heat tools, and aggressive brushing. Be gentle—your hair is more fragile now.
