Menopause and hair lossHair Loss and Menopause 
Menopause is a normal part of every woman's life, but it comes with several unpleasant side effects. One of these side effects is hair loss. All of the hormonal changes can make the hair around your scalp thin out. Losing your hair can be quite embarrassing and lower your self-esteem. Luckily, there are some things you can do to keep your locks healthy and minimize hair loss.

Do not Wash Your Hair As Often
When you are going through menopause, it is even more important to wash your hair less often. Shampooing your hair too often will strip oils from it and make it more prone to breakage. Try not to wash your hair more than three or four times a week. If your locks are looking a bit greasy, just apply some dry shampoo to the roots to give them some body.

Eat the Right Nutrients
To keep your hair healthy and strong, it is important to include the right nutrients in your diet. In addition to protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B6 are great for your locks and may even restore hair growth.

Start Exercising
Regular physical activity will not just prevent weight gain; it will also keep your hormones balanced, which is essential for healthy hair. To stick with your exercise routine long-term, you should do workouts you actually enjoy, such as taking Zumba classes at your gym.

Consider Medication
If your hair loss is severe, you may want to consider taking medication. There are certain medications out there that can treat hair loss. Ask your doctor if these medications are right for you.

Think About Acupuncture
If you are open to alternative treatments, you should consider acupuncture. This ancient practice involves sticking thin needles in your skin and may stimulate hair growth. Make sure to go to someone who is licensed in acupuncture.
