Im approaching the menopause and Im sure my hair is thinning a bit. It seems finer also and there are about 6-8 hairs that come loose after hair washing or styling. Do I have hair loss???? If so what can I do about it.

6 – 8 hairs a day is not significant. However if this is a change from what is normal to you there are things you can do. I am a 44 year old woman and am peri-menopausal. I began losing a significant amount of hair each morning when I showered. I don’t know how many but I know it was a change from what was normal for me. I began taking Macafem (maca root), biotin, and MSM supllements, and I switched to Organix coconut milk shampoo and conditioner. Once a week I do a pure coconut oil treatment on my hair (leave oil on for one hour & wash out) I started these changes about a month ago and have noticed a decrease in hair loss and also have new hair growth. Hope this helps
