Menopause
Menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life, during which hormonal changes can affect the hair in various ways. Whether you're at the beginning of menopause or have already gone through it, you may notice changes in your hair.
Keep reading to learn more about how menopause can affect your hair and how to care for it in the best way possible.
HAS MENOPAUSE LEFT YOU WITH THIN AND BRITTLE HAIR?
One of the most common issues during menopause is thin and brittle hair. Low estrogen levels can affect the hair growth cycle by shortening the growth phase and delaying the regrowth phase.
At the same time, hair follicles also shrink with age, resulting in finer strands and an overall lack of volume.
HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED HAIR LOSS DURING MENOPAUSE?
Menopause can bring hormonal changes that affect hair growth and quality. Many women experience increased hair loss or thinning, as the drop in estrogen shortens the growth phase and extends the resting phase.
At ZENZ, we understand the challenges women face during this time, and we offer tailored products that support hair health and vitality throughout menopause.

HAVE YOU DEVELOPED A SENSITIVE SCALP DURING MENOPAUSE?
A sensitive scalp is another challenge many women face during menopause. Dryness can irritate the scalp and cause small cracks in the skin barrier, making it easier for harmful substances to penetrate and cause inflammation.
If you’re experiencing hair loss and thinning, your scalp is also more vulnerable to environmental factors like UV rays and harsh ingredients, which can lead to further inflammation.
ARE YOU EXPERIENCING HOT FLASHES DURING MENOPAUSE?
During menopause, most women experience hot flashes to varying degrees. The cause of these sudden sweating episodes lies in the declining natural estrogen levels, which make the body more sensitive to temperature changes. The body responds strongly to try to regulate the heat.
HAS MENOPAUSE CHANGED YOUR HAIR TEXTURE?
The hormonal changes during menopause can affect the hair’s texture. Some hair strands change shape from circular to oval, which can impact the curl or smoothness of the hair.
The lack of natural oils that help maintain the hair's pH balance can cause the hair to feel rough and look dull.
Without sufficient sebum, the pH balance becomes unbalanced, and the hair's cuticle layer lifts, resulting in a dull and lifeless appearance.
