1. Because hormonal shifts trigger shedding you can't control
When estrogen drops sharply through menopause, your hair follicles literally shrink. This isn't gradual thinning – it's a shift that intensifies in your 50s and beyond, and can feel relentless. Two, three, five years in – and it's still falling.
The shedding. The widening part. The ponytail that's half what it was. Your follicles are responding to a completely different hormonal environment. Surface treatments can't fix that.
What helps? Supporting your hair with the specific nutrients that deplete during these shifts – the ones your follicles need to rebuild.
