HAAR EN DE OVERGANG

Hair loss during menopause: causes and patterns

Tijdens de overgang kunnen hormonale verschuivingen samenvallen met meer haaruitval of geleidelijke verdunning. Het patroon en verloop helpen om de mogelijke richting te herkennen.

In brief

  • Meer haaruitval en geleidelijke verdunning zijn niet hetzelfde patroon.
  • Diffuse uitval kan volgen op een hormonale of lichamelijke verandering.
  • Een bredere scheiding past vaker bij geleidelijke patroonverdunning.
  • De Hair Check helpt timing, verdeling en context samen te brengen.

HORMONAL LIFE STAGE

Why does the hair change?

Estrogen and progesterone levels change around menopause. At the same time, stress, sleep, diet, and genetic predisposition can affect the hair cycle.

As a result, hair may temporarily shed more or gradually become finer.

TWO DIRECTIONS

Diffuse or gradual

Sudden increased hair shedding across the entire scalp may indicate telogen effluvium. A gradually widening part or thinning crown is more often associated with androgenetic alopecia.

Both patterns can also occur at the same time.

FOLLOW THE PROGRESS

What can you observe yourself?

Take photos each month under the same lighting and pay attention to your part, crown, and hairline. Also note changes in menstruation, illness, stress, and weight.

The trend over several months provides more information than a single wash.

TARGETED SUPPORT

Which formula fits?

TRIX Basic Alpha is formulated to support nutrition in cases of gradual pattern thinning. TRIX Basic Beta is suited to a temporary diffuse profile following a physical, hormonal, or emotional change.

KEEP WATCHING

When assessment is advisable

Have rapidly increasing hair loss, bald patches, or symptoms such as redness, pain, and flaking assessed.

Professional assessment can also help if you remain uncertain.

Kijk naar patroon én timing

Vergelijk de middenscheiding, kruin en totale dichtheid over meerdere maanden en noteer wanneer de verandering begon.

Veelgestelde vragen over haaruitval tijdens de overgang

Can menopause cause hair loss?

Hormonal changes can affect the hair cycle and make existing genetic predisposition more noticeable.
Is hair loss during menopause always temporary?

That depends on the pattern. Diffuse shedding may be temporary; pattern thinning generally develops gradually.
What does a wider parting mean?

A gradually widening part may be consistent with female pattern thinning.
Can I have two patterns at the same time?

Yes, diffuse hair loss and gradual pattern thinning can overlap.
Which TRIX Basic formula is right for you?

Alpha is consistent with pattern thinning, while Beta is associated with a temporarily diffuse profile. The Hair Check helps you choose.
