Hi
just read your message, yes hot flushes, night sweats, and over two years noticed a change in hair. Mine went from poker straight to wavy!!! But when I have shower or brush wet hair, loads of hair comes out. I won't take HRT. My Gp just fobs me off with prescription "books" on depression ?????? And antidepressants. I heard that caffeine shampoo is good for hair thinning but haven't tried it yet. I'm totally fed up with aging process. Menopause, weight gain, anxiety, aches, pains, I could go on but I'd have an outcry of " stop complaining " I used to moan about pmt. Had IVF in my 30's and had a son, I'd rather go through that again than this.
sorry side tracked. Have you tried anything for your hair yet? I think I will try a caffeine based. Also heard Philip Kingsley hair products are very good but a tad expensive. Let us know if you try anything and see a positive result. Good luck

Are you saying that you are losing a lot of hair, or that the hairs shafts are getting very small i.e. like sweeping your hair into a pony tail there's hardly any there?
Changes in hair are very common with menopause and definately related to hormone changes. My experience is that HRT dose change hair, both shaft thickness and overall hair loss.

Hair is effected by hormones. A male style pattern of balding can be related to higher testosterone activity in relation to estrogen.
If you are concerned, I'd see your doctor.
