Menopause - hair loss help

Hair loss/diffuse hair thinning is very distressing, I have female pattern hair loss which I think has worsened with the advent of the menopause. I’m not on HRT but am under a dermatologist who has a special interest in female hair loss. I’m trying finasteride and minoxidil now so will see if that halts the progression of thinning. However, just as an everyday solution to enable me to go out of the house/to work, I have been using hair fibres which help disguise the bare scalp between the thinning hairs. There are a few brands around but I use Nanogen. Not a solution to reverse the condition but a useful confidence booster. I can’t face the prospect of wearing a wig so while I can get away with it I’ll continue with my treatment and the fibres. Might be worth a try to alleviate the constant stress associated with hair loss!

WilmaKnickersfit your topper looks lovely, where did you get it from? Am toying with the idea of trying one but am a bit wary of purchasing as I’ll probably buy the wrong one! A recommendation would be most helpful

Just been looking through hair loss threads,saw this,i have just seen a dermatologist who diagnosed Telogen Effluvium, and caused by stress, he says it will grow back, so might be worth seeing dermatologist,anyone who is losing hair, luckily he is one of our Drs so didn,t need to go far to see him all the other Drs i saw were useless
