Dry brittle hair?

Has anyone else noticed that their hair has become really dry and lack lustre and brittle since periods stopped. My hair used to be quite nice and thick, but now it seems horrible and thin.  I just put it up most of the time - its quite long, and I still get little bits of hair sticking up everywhere as if I've just had an electric shock. Used all the recommended treatments under the sun, including sticking olive oil on it - and it still goes back to being awful.  Is this something I just have to live with now and get used to it?
