Menopause Hair Loss and What to Do

How Menopause Can Change Hair And What To Do About It. This is a post from Zenagen regarding menopause hair changes and how hair loss can occur during menopause. Menopause Hair Loss Let’s talk about menopause hair loss and how it occurs and what can be done. The onset of menopause can often lead to hair loss and has long been a part of aging that many women fear the most. The hair follicle changes with age and related to the changes in natural hormones. Many women as early as 35, can start showing signs of menopause hair changes. These changes can be increased shedding, hair breaking more, and thinning. Three Causes of Menopause Hair Loss Hormones, genes, and scalp condition are to blame for menopause causing acute hair loss, as is the aging process. Confirming the causes of your loss with a competent and experienced dermatologist is the first step in determining your best treatment options. It’s possible to have temporary loss of hair caused by physical stress, emotional stress, thyroid abnormalities, medications and hormonal changes (such as androgens and estrogens during menopause) normally associated with females. Other causes of hair loss outside the dreaded “menopause hair” is tension on the hair by prolonged use of hair weaving or corn rows can also cause permanent loss. Why Hair Starts to Shed During Menopause Hair Changes It’s normal to shed some hair each day as about 90 percent of the hair on your scalp is growing at any one time during a normal phase that lasts for 2 to 6 years at one time. Some women as early as 35 start to notice an increase in shedding and hair thickness due to the loss and changes in hormones including progesterone, estrogen, estradiol and others. Often times women experience thyroid changes during menopause and the medicine that they can be put on can cause changes in hair structure. The thyroid drugs can cause hair to start shedding more, change the hair structure, and can cause hair breakage to occur. Several medicines have been known to cause hair loss such as blood thinners (anticoagulants), medicines used for gout and in chemotherapy to treat cancer. Also, the use of vitamin A, birth control pills and antidepressants has been known to cause hair loss. Targeting Menopause Hair with Zenagen Revolve Zenagen Revolve is a naturally formulated product that focuses on female related hair loss and is a great option for women seeking a solution for their thinning hair. Unlike any other hair loss products, Zenagen Revolve for Women only needs to be used for 5 minutes, every other day, and is a shampoo based treatment, which means no messy oils, irritating serums, or daily pills. For women, missed periods and hair loss can be connected. Lack of ovulation in a skipped period causes the adrenal cortex to secrete androstenedione (a steroid hormone). This hormone is associated with some male characteristics such as male pattern baldness. However, if you raise your progesterone level with natural progesterone cream, your androstenedione level gradually declines and your hair will grow back normally. This could take months before you see a difference, so be patient. The information in this article is for educational purposes only, and is not intended as medical advice.

POST PARTUM HAIR LOSS WHAT IS IT AND HOW TO STOP IT WITH ZENAGEN

Post partum hair loss is the term used to describe the hair thinning experienced by many women after giving birth. Before a woman becomes pregnant, around 90 percent of her hair follicles are in the growing phase which is also known as anagen. The remaining 10 percent are in telogen or the resting stage. This phase lasts for around 3 months before the hair falls out usually at a rate of around 100 strands a day. During pregnancy, high levels of the hormone estrogen prolong the hair growing phase which results in the hair becoming longer. Since this hormone also reduces the number of hairs entering the resting stage and being shed, the tresses are also noticeably thicker. After delivery, estrogen levels in the body drop and a larger than usual number of hairs enter their resting stage before falling out. This post partum shedding typically begins to become conspicuous three months after giving birth though mothers who were breastfeeding their babies exclusively may notice it at around six months when they begin weaning them. Though many women lose hair from around their hairline, a good number notice thinning all over the head. This hair loss after baby can range from shedding several strands while shampooing to losing large clumps of around 500 strands while brushing the hair. The good news about post partum shedding is that it is not a permanent condition. Most women regain their full pre-pregnancy hair once their hormones stabilize which is usually by the time their baby is six months to one year old. There is new tool for post partum hair loss and it is Zenagen Evolve treatment. This naturally derived shampoo based treatment and conditioner can help reduce post pregnancy related hair loss shedding or post partum hair loss in women. Mothers stressed by the state of their tresses can benefit greatly from consulting a professional hair stylist who carries Zenagen Evolve shampoo and conditioner to target post baby shedding. How Zenagen Evolve works is targets the hair follicle and optimizes the scalp and hair environment against the changes in hormones that women after pregnancy see. To use Zenagen Evolve it is very simple. Simply put a small sized amount in your hand, gently massage the product into the scalp, once it foams up leave the product on the scalp for 5 minutes. Rinse use your Zenagen Evolve Conditioner and you are done. Repeat this process every couple days. Best results against post baby shedding is to start Zenagen Evolve is after your baby is born and you are ready to and able to start shampooing regularly. Zenagen takes some time to start to work and protect hairs, so it is vital that you start 3 months before that dreaded 6 months post baby delivery timeline that is known as the start of post partum hair loss.   If you have already started shedding from baby birth, you can start using Zenagen to help return your hair volume and strength the fastest possible. From a style point of view you may also change the part from one side of the head to the other is one simple thing that can be done to hide thinning temples. Curling the hair can also give an appearance of volume. Getting a short, layered cut can also make it appear fuller and save the new mother time since shorter manes require less maintenance.  Ladies with more severe post partum hair loss can wear hair ornaments to hide the thinning patches. For example those who have to work outside the home can wear stylish scarves while those who spend their days with their babies can wear headbands to cover receding hairlines. Mothers who continue shedding hair 12 months after their baby is born should consult their healthcare, provider since iron deficiency anemia and hypothyroidism or low levels of thyroid hormones are other causes of post partum hair loss.  Learn More about hair at Zenagen Online Shop Blog
