Perimenopause and hair loss - the thing no one talks about

I've worked as a hairdresser for 30 years, and I've seen it hundreds of times. A woman in her 40s or 50s sits down in the chair and says something like: "I don't know what's happening with my hair. It's not like it used to be."

It's usually not stress. It's not the wrong shampoo. It's the hormones.

What actually happens during perimenopause?

When estrogen levels start to decline, often as early as your 40s and sometimes even earlier, it affects the body in many ways. Hair is one of the first places it shows.

Estrogen helps hair stay in its growth phase longer. When it drops, the growth phase shortens and more strands shift into the resting phase and fall out. The result is hair that feels thinner and more brittle, a scalp that's more visible, and strands that are finer than they used to be.

What can you actually do?

There's no product that stops hormonal change. It would be dishonest to claim otherwise. But you can give your hair follicles the best possible conditions to function optimally with the estrogen that's still there.

Our Density Drops is an activating serum with Capilia Longa, an extract from turmeric stem cells that's clinically proven to:

• Reduce hair loss by up to 89%

• Increase hair density by up to 52%

• Improve the feel of hair volume within 90 days
  
  

It works directly at the follicle. 1–2 pipettes on dry or damp scalp every day supports hair through its different phases.

Your skincare routine matters too

During perimenopause, hair is often drier and more fragile than before. It's especially important to:

• Use a shampoo free from sulfates, silicones, and hormone-disrupting ingredients

• Hydrate thoroughly with a silicone-free conditioner so moisture can penetrate the strand and strengthen it

• Nourish the follicles with an active serum

Our Density Kit is designed for exactly this: supporting hair through hormonally-driven hair loss and giving it the nourishment it needs from within.

Your lengths need extra care during this time too. As hair becomes drier and more brittle, it breaks more easily, which makes hair look even thinner. Our Leave-In Conditioner deeply hydrates and supports your lengths with every use. It's silicone-free and builds hair's strength and elasticity over time: 83% less hair breakage and 62% less frizz. Apply to damp or dry hair without rinsing out; a small amount goes a long way.

It takes time

Hair grows slowly. Results won't show after a week, so patience is needed. We recommend 90 days of consistent use to properly evaluate the effect.

What we can say is that thousands of women in exactly your situation have tried it and seen a difference. Their stories are what drive us forward.
