Menopause is a stage every woman will face, but no two journeys look the same
For many, it comes with an unexpected and frustrating change: hair thinning and loss. As a dermatologist and hair loss expert, I’ve had countless conversations with women who felt blindsided by this shift. What helps most is knowing you’re not alone and that there are ways to support your scalp and hair through this season.
When I talk with my patients about hair loss, it’s never just an appointment
These conversations are about compassion and understanding, because I know how deeply hair changes can affect confidence. Hair loss is sensitive and emotional, and I feel compelled to educate, guide, and support women through this transition with empathy and evidence-based care.
Today, I want to share real stories from women navigating menopause hair loss
Their experiences shed light on the emotional side of this transition, while also highlighting how finding the right routine, inside and out, can restore both hair confidence and overall wellness.
“I Thought I Was the Only One” – Sarah’s Story
Sarah, 53, first noticed her part widening in her early 50s. “I thought hair loss was just a men’s problem. None of my friends talked about it, so I kept quiet. When my hairstylist gently pointed out the thinning at the crown, I finally realized what was happening.”
Like many women, Sarah’s first step was panic. But after doing some research, she discovered that 40% of women experience hair loss by age 50, often due to the hormonal shifts of menopause. That number alone reassured her she wasn’t “failing” her hair. It was biology.
To support her scalp health, Sarah began taking Wellbel Women+, a vegan, dermatologist-formulated supplement designed for women’s unique needs, and paired it with the Wellbel Shampoo & Conditioner Duo. “It’s been six months, and while I know hair growth takes time, I already feel stronger strands and more control over shedding. But most importantly, I don’t feel alone anymore.”
“It Was About Confidence” – Maria’s Story
For Maria, 57, the hardest part of menopause hair loss wasn’t the shedding. It was how it made her feel. “Every time I brushed my hair, I saw pieces of myself slipping away. I didn’t recognize the woman in the mirror.”
Her turning point came when she joined an online support group where women openly shared their menopause journeys. “Hearing real stories gave me back my voice,” she says.
Maria began focusing not just on her hair, but on her overall wellness: nutrition, stress management, and scalp care. She incorporated Wellbel Women+ into her daily routine. “The supplement felt like something I was doing for me. And using the shampoo and conditioner made wash days feel like an act of care instead of dread. It wasn’t just about hair. It was about reclaiming confidence.”
“Slow and Steady Progress” – Dana’s Story
Dana, 49, reminds us that results take patience. “When I first started noticing thinning, I wanted an instant fix. But hair doesn’t work that way. What helped me was creating a routine I could stick with.”
Her routine included:
Daily Wellbel Women+ supplement for consistent support of hair, skin, and nail health
Gentle cleansing and hydrating scalp care with Wellbel’s shampoo and conditioner
Reducing heat styling and treating her scalp as carefully as her skin
“After 4 months, I saw baby hairs sprouting along my hairline. That gave me so much hope. Menopause is a long journey, but little wins matter.”
You’re Not Alone in This Journey
If you’re experiencing menopause hair loss, remember: it’s not just you, and it’s not just vanity. Your hair is deeply tied to your identity, and changes can feel emotional. Sharing stories like Sarah’s, Maria’s, and Dana’s helps break the silence.
As a dermatologist, my advice is this: nourish your body, support your scalp, and give yourself grace. Evidence-based supplements like Wellbel Women+, paired with gentle, restorative hair care like the Wellbel Shampoo & Conditioner Duo, can help you feel proactive and supported through the process.
