With age, hair tends to lose thickness, even falling out a little more during menopause. How to strengthen your hair? Here are 5 tips that have proven to work.
When they reach menopause, 40% of women admit to seeing hair loss. There is nothing abnormal about the phenomenon: the sudden drop in estrogen levels that occurs leads to a shortening of the life cycle of the hair, as well as a loss of strength and resistance. But should we be satisfied with that? Not necessarily. Thanks to a suitable hair routine, it is possible to maintain sufficiently dense hair.
Use a soft hair brush
To protect your hair from breakage when brushing, choose a brush made of natural fibers (wild boar, bamboo or silk), which are gentler on the hair than synthetic materials. Also proceed with a delicate brushing, without pulling, from the ends towards the roots.
Apply an anti-hair loss serum
Every week, in 1 or 2 sessions, apply an anti-hair loss treatment at the roots. Don’t forget to massage the scalp to boost micro-circulation in the skull. You can also opt for a formula enriched with vegetable oils and essential oils which are supposed to promote regrowth.
Also use an anti-hair loss shampoo
Here again, opt for a formula enriched with growth activating active ingredients, such as essential oils or vitamin B5. And repeat the right actions: take the time to massage your scalp with the pads of your fingers to activate micro-circulation when shampooing.
Change your diet
A change made directly in diet can also affect the density of your hair. Including more foods rich in protein (meat, soy, cheese), vitamin B9 (banana, pulses, avocado), magnesium, iron and zinc is known to preserve healthy hair.
Consider the treatment of supplements
Finally, for a little boost (or growth) consider taking food supplements, particularly during seasonal changes: these help stimulate keratin, protect the hair bulb and increase the resistance of the hair.
Consult a doctor online for your hair loss
Also adapt your haircut
If your hair turns out to be thin and thinner than before, the solution may also be found in a haircut! Indeed, certain choices can restore volume, movement and better frame your face even with fine hair. According to professionals, a shorter, bob, or pixi cut will make your style more dynamic. A light gradient can also accentuate the impression of volume. And this year’s trendy hairstyles, French bobs and long bobs, are perfect for giving more texture to your hair.
