Menopause can be physically and mentally challenging, incurring a range of difficult symptoms such as hot flushes and mood swings. However, there are some symptoms which are just as common during this time, but not as widely spoken about. In this blog, we are taking a deep dive into menopause hair loss, and how people experiencing it can help to boost their confidence through wigs.
Menopause Related Hair Loss: What Is It?
Menopause happens when your periods stop permanently, and typically occurs between the ages of 45 to 55 due to a reduction of hormone levels. Progesterone and oestrogen are two of the key hormones needed to keep your hair healthy, shiny and long; when hormone levels begin to decline, the hair can start to grow much slower and for some women, become thinner.
Your hair can play a big role in your identity, so losing it later in life can knock your confidence. Fortunately, wigs are a great way of helping to restore your sense of self. Here we explore ways in which wigs can help you if you believe you may be experiencing hair loss from the menopause.
