Thinning? Dry? Frizz? OH NO its Menopause Hair!
Have you ever woken and realized that your hair is noticeably thinner, drier or like a frizz bomb?

It’s typical for people to lose 50-100 hairs a day in a natural process of growth and hair loss. About one-third of women experience hair loss at one point in their life. That number climbs to two-thirds in postmenopausal women.
So – What can you do about it?
Here are a few steps you can take to improve the health and look of your hair.
