Hair Loss Menopause: Causes & RemediesHair loss menopause is a major cause of female pattern hair loss. While less than 15% of women experience hair thinning before menopause, over 35% report hair loss concerns after menopause. Hair loss menopause causes a significant overall reduction in hair on women, unlike male pattern baldness which results in real baldness.
On an encouraging note, women suffering from hair loss menopause often see a return to normal growth 6 months to 2 years later. Hair Loss Menopause - The Cause DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) is one of the main enemies in the hair loss war. DHT is a combination of testosterone and androgen receptors mixed with sebum and dirt particles. DHT has a disastrous effect on the hair follicle so it begins to shut down and the hair eventually falls out. (Sebum is a fatty substance secreted from the sebaceous glands most of which open into hair follicles.) Before menopause, the estrogen levels are sufficient to counteract the testosterone responsible for hair loss and this reduces the level of DHT in the hair follicles. After menopause, however, a woman's estrogen level declines which allows more testosterone and androgen to be converted to DHT. The hair growth cycle reduces and hair becomes thinner and finer. Some Remedies 1. Consult with a physician to see what hormone
supplements such as progesterone are available to balance the deficiency.

Apply the stimulating extract after the shampoo and conditioner to the area to be treated and massage into the scalp with the fingertips. Later
