When Menopause Changes More Than Your MoodThe quiet struggle of hair loss

For many women, menopause brings changes we expect. The mood shifts. The broken sleep. The flushes that seem to come out of nowhere.

But what no one really talks about is how it affects your hair.

It doesn’t usually fall out all at once. It thins. It shifts. The texture changes. Your parting looks wider than it used to. The front starts to feel sparse. The crown shows more than it should. And before you realise, the way you feel about your hair changes completely.

Hair that used to feel like yours now feels unfamiliar. Hard to style. Easy to give up on.

You may have already started hiding it with headbands or different partings. Maybe you’ve stopped booking colour appointments. Maybe you’ve just stopped talking about it altogether.

But you’re not alone. And more importantly, you don’t have to live with it quietly.

Why does this happen?

During menopause, oestrogen levels drop. This hormone supports hair growth and strength. When it declines, hair can become weaker, thinner, and slower to grow.

You might notice more shedding than usual, or that it simply stops growing the way it used to. This often shows up around the hairline, temples or crown — the places that are hardest to disguise.

Other factors like thyroid changes, nutritional deficiencies, ongoing stress or medication can make things worse. It’s not one cause. It’s often a combination.

And because it happens gradually, it can feel like there’s no clear place to turn for help.

How it can make you feel

This isn’t about vanity. This is about identity.
Your hair is part of how you show up in the world. When it starts to change, the ripple effect is emotional.

Many women say things like:

“I just didn’t feel like myself anymore”
“It changed the way I got ready in the morning”
“I didn’t want to tell anyone but it was really affecting me”

And that’s exactly why Becoming You was created.
