While hair loss in women can occur at any age, a 2023 UCLA study estimated that 40% of women experience hair loss by age 50. Other factors such as pregnancy, post-pregnancy, vitamin deficiency, anxiety, or depression can also contribute to hair loss or thinning. As women transition through perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause, hormonal fluctuations during these stages can lead to noticeable changes in their hair, including thinning, shedding, or changes in texture. While these changes can be discouraging for many women, there are ways to manage and improve hair health.
At Hair Etc. Salon and Spa, we offer our Signature Hair Spa Treatment, designed to restore balance to the scalp and hair. Let’s explore how menopause impacts your hair and how our treatment can help rejuvenate it.
How Hormones Affect Hair During Menopause
Perimenopause: This stage usually starts in your 40s, leading up to menopause, and can last several years. Estrogen levels begin to fluctuate, often dipping lower than before, which affects hair growth. Androgens (like testosterone) can become more dominant, shrinking hair follicles and causing hair to thin, particularly around the crown and along the part line.
Menopause: Once menopause is reached (typically in your late 40s or early 50s), estrogen levels drop significantly. Hair may grow slower, become thinner, and you may experience more shedding. The scalp can also become drier, further impacting hair growth.
Post-Menopause: In this stage, hair thinning may continue as the hormonal balance continues to shift. Androgens may continue to influence hair loss, leading to a receding hairline or more generalized thinning.
The Benefits of Our Signature Hair Spa Treatment
Hair Etc. Salon and Spa offers a targeted approach to address hair thinning and loss, focusing on scalp health and follicle stimulation. Our Signature Hair Spa Treatment provides the following benefits:
Deep Scalp Detox: Hormonal changes can increase sebum production or lead to scalp dryness, which affects hair growth. Our treatment detoxifies the scalp, removing excess oil and product buildup, unclogging follicles, and preparing the scalp for healthy growth.
Stimulates Follicles for Growth: Thinning hair often results from reduced blood flow to the scalp. The treatment includes a scalp massage that promotes circulation, delivering essential oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles and boosting hair strength and growth.
Nourishes the Scalp: The head spa treatment is designed to restore moisture to the scalp and make it more receptive to the vitamins and minerals your hair needs to grow. The combination of hydration and nutrition can improve the hair’s thickness and vitality over time.
Supporting Your Hair Health During Menopause
While hormonal changes during menopause can affect hair growth, the right care can make a difference. Our Signature Hair Spa Treatment is specifically designed to target the scalp and stimulate healthier, thicker hair, offering a natural way to combat thinning. This rejuvenating treatment improves scalp health and helps promote a balanced environment for hair growth during menopause and beyond.
