Menopause occurs in women around the age of 50 and causes hormonal changes that have many impacts, especially on hair. Discover in this article how to limit these effects.
What are the effects of menopause on my hair?
During the menopause, levels of oestrogen, a hormone that prolongs the anagen phase of hair growth, decrease. As a result, hair becomes thinner and falls out more, resulting in a loss of density.
Another impact of menopause is the change in the texture of the hair fiber, which becomes drier and more brittle.
Finally, menopause also affects the scalp, which becomes drier, irritated or prone to itching.
How to limit hair loss during menopause?
Detoxify your scalp
Hair beauty and health are directly linked to scalp health. So, the first step is to take care of it.
The Cair fortifying serum, rich in skincare actives, detoxifies and revitalizes the scalp. It respects the microbiota for a healthy and lasting bacterial balance. Equipped with a caffeine complex, this hair serum stimulates microcirculation, promoting hair regrowth.
After 28 days of use, 100% of women who tested it found their scalp healthier and detoxified and their hair stronger and thicker.
Gently cleanse your hair
During menopause, hair is weakened, so it’s essential not to make it more sensitive with an overly aggressive shampoo.
Free of silicones and sulfates, Cair's natural shampoo gently removes asphyxiating residues from the hair fiber. Enriched with hyaluronic acid and rice active water, it deeply hydrates and leaves the hair light and shiny.
Use a gentle brush
Each hair type has specific needs, so it’s important to choose a brush suited to them.
During menopause, choosing a soft hairbrush is essential to respect the fragile scalp and hair.
The N.03 sensitive scalp brush from La Bonne Brosse is particularly suitable. Equipped with a mix of boar bristles and nylon fibers, it provides many benefits.
The vegan nylon bristles have small balls at their tips, offering the scalp a gentle and stimulating massage. Microcirculation is thus promoted, bringing the scalp all the nutrients it needs to stay healthy. This also encourages hair growth.
Boar bristles, rich in keratin, distribute the natural oils from roots to ends, hydrating the hair and allowing you to space out shampoos.
Limit the use of heating devices
To avoid breakage and dehydration, try to limit as much as possible the use of heating tools such as hairdryers or flat irons. If you can’t do without them, always use a heat-protectant spray.
Cair's detangling mist protects hair from heat and external aggressions such as pollution and UV rays, by forming a non-occlusive protective film around the hair fiber.
Enriched with active waters of rice, organic grape, raspberry, and bamboo, this mist also provides maximum strength, hydration, and shine.
Results: 100% of women who tested it noticed their hair was nourished and repaired.
100% also found their hair more voluminous, soft, and light. Finally, 100% of these women found that their hair fiber was protected from external aggressions and heat.
Avoid bleaching
Bleaching is not forbidden but remains discouraged as it is particularly harsh: it promotes dryness, weakens hair, and irritates the scalp.
If you still want to go for it, remember to deeply hydrate your hair fiber afterward to limit the damage.
The Cair repairing mask is a powerful treatment designed to penetrate the scales and nourish the hair deeply. Thanks to its formula enriched with hyaluronic acid, it retains water at the core of the hair fiber, ensuring long-lasting hydration even in dry environments. It also contains rice water, used for millennia in Asian traditions for its moisturizing properties.
This hydrating mask also acts on the keratin structure and regenerates the hair fiber.
Hair is thus strengthened, hydrated, and easy to style.
This mask is ideal if you use chemical techniques or if your hair is very weakened.
