Product Information

Our bodies go through many changes as we get older, and – unfortunately – hair getting greasier can be one of them.

This clarifying shampoo promises to prevent dandruff and boost shine, thanks to the pH-balancing, antibacterial benefits of its hero ingredient, apple cider vinegar. A good hair day not only lifts your look but also your mood, so it’s no wonder we relish time in a salon chair, like to try the latest hair products, and put lots of effort into our ‘do’. However, no matter how on trend your cut is, or how much you spend on potions, the secret to swishy strands actually lies in your roots, or more specifically your scalp. Let’s face it, scalp health isn’t the sexiest of topics, but the truth is that giving it some attention can pay serious dividends – especially as your age. But, how exactly does menopause affect your scalp? What causes a flaky scalp? Menopause comes at a time in life when we have developed much wisdom and are enjoying our strongest sense of self, yet this transition can often destabilise us overwhelmingly. Whilst symptoms of mood, hot flushes, aches, pains, and low libido are really common during peri-menopause, many women I speak to in my clinic experience changes to their skin and hair as well. Firstly, when it comes to your complexion, you might notice that skin loses its elasticity and youthful volume, and you may be more prone to sagging or jowls. This is because collagen, the protein in the skin that helps to keep skin firm, decreases by around 30% in the first five years after menopause owing to a decrease in oestrogen. Wrinkles that used to appear only with a smile or frown can become visible all the time. You may also notice more fragile skin underneath your eyes, causing pouches.If you are deficient in any vitamin or mineral your hair will usually be the first thing your body neglects. While a balanced diet containing all food groups is key, hair is made of protein, making adequate daily consumption of protein highly important. Aim for a 120g portion of a “complete protein” with breakfast and lunch, when nutrient requirements are greatest. Good examples are eggs, fish, lean meat, tofu, lentils, poultry and low-fat cottage cheese. 5 DIY natural remedies for a dry or irritated scalp All of their formulas have been developed to nourish and balance the body’s 10 interconnected systems including skin, hormones, digestion, energy, and mind, with specific ranges targeting pregnancy and menopause. If too many bad hair days are getting you down, there are steps you can take to rebalance your hair’s oil levels. Ask your dermatologist about treatments to improve brightness to the skin and remember to apply SPF daily in all seasons to reduce melasma or hyper-pigmentation. Formulas that include the ingredient ‘ pine bark’ are also incredibly nourishing and can help to strengthen the skin against sun damage. This ingredient can help with pigmentation prone skin, combatting brown marks and patchiness resulting from sun exposed skin. Supplementing with Lycopene can also have photo-protective effects on the skin. Research into licensed beauty therapists and book in a consultation to see whether these hair removal treatments can benefit your hair and skin type. Any supplements and foods that we need to increase during menopause?

Nutrition can play a key role in scalp health. ‘Hair is a dispensable tissue –psychologically it is hugely important, but physiologically we could easily survive without it,’ says trichologist Anabel Kingsley.‘ In terms of diet this means that our hair is never given priority – it’s the last to receive any nutrients we take in and is the first part of us that gets these withheld. As busy women, it can be challenging to find the time to research the information needed for supplementation that will benefit your body throughout menopause. It is also a chore to remember to take a variety of different supplementations daily, and difficult to know what works best together for your body.They judged each product on how effectively it cleaned hair and offered long-lasting oil control. They also noted any improvements to shine, smoothness, hydration and volume.
