Menopause hair loss is as a result of a drop in the levels of estrogen. Estrogen is the female hormone that keeps the hair growing. Going through this stage brings with it a number of changes and challenges. Hair loss can be a real bother especially for a woman. It is said that about 50 percent of all menopausal women experience some degree of hair loss.

The hair follicles normally tend to shrink and the hair becomes thinner. When this happens, the hair doesn’t grow any more. The receding usually begins at the temples and the thinning may be seen as a pattern over the entire scalp.

There are several measures that you can take to help minimize hair loss. A proper diet and exercise are crucial. Your diet should include foods that contain estrogen. Examples of these foods include soy and yams. You should increase your intake of vitamins and minerals. Increased intake of especially B complex, zinc, iron and biotin is very crucial Broccoli, collard greens and dried fruits like apricot and figs are also important. Melons and citrus fruits are also recommended.

Use of herbs such as the black cohosh can also help to balance the hormones in the body. Hormone replacement therapy replenishes your body with estrogen and progesterone and therefore it can be effective in dealing with a problem like hair loss. Some tips of dealing with menopause hair loss include trimming your hair or coloring it if there is a contrast between hair color and the skin. A drop in estrogen level can also lead to growth of hair in unwanted areas.
