Although women of all ages can experience hair loss, thinning and other kinds of hair damage it is more common in women over 40. Hair loss is also a symptom of menopause and after menopause, approximately 2/3rd of women suffer from hair loss to different extents (https://www.healthline.com/health/womens-health/female-pattern-baldness). This occurs due to a change in hormones such as oestrogen and progesterone. Additionally, female pattern hair loss is a hereditary form of hair loss that can be worsened during menopause due to the reduction of oestrogen.
Moreover, certain day-to-day activities can worsen hair problems such as hair loss and hair damage that you are already experiencing, or increase your risk of experiencing these problems in the future. Although this can be scary, especially as menopause is overwhelming for many women, there are certain things you can avoid to prevent damaging your hair.
Overuse of heat and chemicals on the hair
We’ve all been told that heat and chemicals are bad for our hair, but how many of us ignore this advice? But we need to start taking it seriously if you want to improve your hair health or prevent future damage.
Styling tools such as straighteners and curlers dry out the hair causing it to become dry, brittle and the shaft becoming prone to breakage. Rather, opt for heat free ways to style your hair, using braids or leave in curlers to help your hair curl, or using product to straighten your hair and get rid of frizz.
Additionally, as women age, they often worry about grey hairs and try to cover them up, but we think you should embrace it! Afterall, grey is the new blonde. The chemicals in hair dye affect the structure of your hair and cause it to become brittle and dry.
Stress
Stress can cause a type of hair loss called telogen effluvium, so it is important to try and reduce stress to prevent unnecessary hair loss. Doing yoga or exercise daily can really help. Similarly, you could try the KeraHealth Scalp Energizer. This allows you to enjoy a relaxing head massage whilst also improving your hair health!
Missing Essential Nutrients in Your Diet
Brittle hair and lots of breakages may be caused by not getting enough of hair-strengthening nutrients such as protein, zinc, iron and biotin. You should try using a shampoo and hair supplements that contain these essential ingredients to make sure your hair is getting all the nourishment it needs to be thick and healthy!
