The harshest chemicals we put in our hair: dyes and bleach. I was touching up my roots every three weeks and noticed my hair was thinning by age 44. Doctors found no cause. I stopped coloring my hair, and it stopped breaking off and falling out. It’s thick, shiny, and healthy now. I prefer being silver over being nearly bald.

[@Maranda_MT]

I am only 41 but I had to have a total hysterectomy that threw me into menopause and my hair fell out very quickly. I have done a lot of research on this, and one thing I strongly recommend is hair masks once weekly. Your hair can become very brittle and dry and this really helps. Also, make sure you are taking biotin. Leave your hair down as often as possible. Pulling it up and putting that pressure on your hair can really cause it to fall out. Use oils and leave-in conditioners.

[@hydrangea8696]

After 20 years of veganism, I feel a great lack of important vitamins and minerals and I have various symptoms that face premenopause..I was vegan for almost 20 years and everything was ok (because I seem to have a large supply of all the vitamins in my body). But now I have started to get all the serious symptoms of vitamin B12 and D deficiency and because of that I have to stop veganism, so that the symptoms do not turn into chronic diseases. I'm 40 and I don't know if I have symptoms of vitamin deficiency or am I premenopausal..

After menopause should you not take iron in vitamins? Most all hair grow vitamins have iron in them. Loved this video!!

[@AvogelCoUk]

Hi Linda After the menopause you do need to be more careful with iron but most supplements tend to have quite a low dose which should be OK, also, if you are vegetarian or vegan you probably will need extra. It may be a good idea to get your iron levels checked every now and again just to make sure you are not deficient. Great to hear that you loved the video, thank you!

[@Dogandcatmom51]

@@AvogelCoUk, it seems like the vitamins for people aged fifty and over do not contain iron, which is how I learned that people over fifty should not take additional iron unless they are deficient. That’s why I’m afraid to take hair vitamins containing iron. What is a low dose that is considered safe ? I’m not in menopause yet but am 51.

[@AvogelCoUk]

@@Dogandcatmom51 why not go for tablets or capsules that don't contain iron at all, a company called Hubner do a colloidal silica supplement for hair, skin and nails which is effective. The RDA for iron for over 50s is approx 8mg Best Wishes Eileen

[@AvogelCoUk]

Hi Marie, the menopause can really play havoc with your hair. As well as hair loss, it is very common for hair to become dry and brittle. We would recommend you speak to your doctor again. Hair loss can also be an indication that you have low vitamin D levels and low iron so it might be a good idea for your doctor to rule these out as well.

[@l.c.7855]

marie Travers ~ I would strongly recommend bio-identical HRT, ESPECIALLY Bio-identical estrogen for hair loss (among a whole host of other menopause related 'issues' as well). Also, bio-identical progesterone helps with hormone related / triggered headaches & related types of migraines as well.

Many women go through life and menopause and their hair never get's thinner. Others get thinner and thinner. What do you mean when you say it can be thinner both on the scalp area and the thickness of the hair too? Also if you start taking estrogen will your hair get thicker again?

[@AvogelCoUk]

Hi Miranda, by thinning hair, generally I mean visibly thinner, which often makes the scalp look more prominent. However, some women also notice the texture of the hair changing, so the hair itself can feel finer or coarser. As you mention, some women don’t notice a change in their hair at all. For those who do, often it can be fluctuations in oestrogen which can cause a problem during this time. As a result, symptoms often tend to calm post-menopause, as despite oestrogen levels being lower, the fluctuations have started to calm. Therefore, some gentle oestrogen support in the form of soy isoflavones can be helpful during menopause to help manage hair complaints and any other symptoms, but we wouldn’t generally recommend this post-menopause. Other common causes of thinning hair can be low iron or underactive thyroid, so you may want to have any of necessary tests at the doctor and consider other relevant supplements to help support your hair during this time. There are also more general hair supplements available, such as our Hair Complex. I hope this helps.

I feel that I can never get back to my normal exercise life, purely because of this hair loss. Please can you advise anything else to look at, I have watched nearly all your videos now and am scared that i will now put on weight being less active than I was before this hair loss. I am a Holistic Therapist and constantly research alternative health but even I feel so lost with all this

[@AvogelCoUk]

Hi Hopefully, the tests will indicate what's going and you can then start to treat it. In the meantime you may find a specific hair supplement can help; just ask at your local health store. If you are missing the gym why don't you get a sports hat to wear whilst exercising, these don't look out of place and will make you feel more confident. Quite a few of the ladies at my gym wear hats especially in the cold weather and you can get some really nice, fancy ones!

Hi, your video was very helpful. I have a question for you. I'm 55 and don't have periods any longer and my hair is falling out a lot and I have adult cradle cap, extreme dryness. I've tried everything natural in shampoos and it's still extremely dry and falling out. I think my thyroid is low, which thyroid pill should i take and how much? and do the bio-identical estrogen have side effects? and can I take that pill along with thyroid? or should i take the thyroid only along with vitamins to see what happens? can you also send me your link so i can order from your website? thank you and blessings to you. ~gina

[@AvogelCoUk]

Hi Gina If you think your thyroid may be low it is really important to get it checked by your doctor first; if you do need medication they can calculate how much you will need - we are not allowed to give advice on prescribed medications, sorry. There are many different kinds of HRT so it is best to discuss specifics with your doctor and they can advise you as to which would be the most appropriate for your circumstances. If you live outside the UK we are unable to post products at the moment, sorry. If you are in the UK you can order from here www.avogel.co.uk Best Wishes Eileen

[@lucymerkom9571]

Hi Gina, if you are being treated for high/low levels of thyroid and are on medication, you have to be very careful as these medications are dangerous to interfere with. If you have not been diagnosed for this, then go to your doctor, ask them to do your bloods and check your thyroid function. Get a copy of your blood results, if they are abnormal. Then you have a choice to take what the doctor prescribes to you, or see a good naturopath, to seek advice. Seek advice either way, but it is imperative that say if you are taking thyroid Meds. You mentioned your scalp, cap use/take Molkosan, keep bottle in fridge, rinse your hair with diluted Molkosan you can also take Molkosan everyday helps the digestive system, it's also an antiseptic, gargle for sore throat mouth. Treats wounds also, my grandchildren drink by the neck. It's actually A/Vogel product. Also take Urticalcin 6 under tongue in the morning, it's calcium with stinging nettle which helps the body absorb the calcium easier, so if your taking other calcium then change to Urticalcin. Best wishes Lucy ps. If you are looking for information on illness and disease, look at Jan De Vries, who has just passed this last few years. A great friend of Alfred Vogel, all the works 'books' are there.

Hi Hilda Poor hair in the menopause can be caused by a number of things but very often falling oestrogen is a contributory factor. Black Cohosh and other phyto-oestrogen supplements such as our Menopause Support provide small amounts of plant oesteogens that can help to gently raise and balance oestrogen levels; that can have a protective action for the hair. However, it is still important to make sure that you are getting enough protein and vits and minerals that are needed for good hair growth too.
