Hormonal Imbalances and Hair Loss During Perimenopause and Menopause
Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can dramatically affect your hair’s health, texture, and thickness. One of the most common causes of hair thinning during this time is a drop in estrogen and progesterone levels — two hormones that normally help promote hair growth and maintain hair density.
As these hormone levels decline, androgens (like testosterone) may become more dominant, potentially shrinking hair follicles and slowing hair regrowth. This shift can lead to a hormonal pattern of hair loss, often seen as general thinning across the scalp, especially around the crown or temples.
In addition to hair loss, many women experience dryness, brittleness, and increased breakage during menopause. This happens because lower estrogen levels reduce the scalp’s ability to produce natural oils, leaving hair feeling coarse, lifeless, and more vulnerable to damage.
While menopausal hair loss can cause you to feel anxious about your physical appearance and even lower your self-esteem, the condition is treatable! There are many steps you can take to improve the quality of your hair from the inside out.
