With a myriad of chemical changes occurring to women’s bodies, men panic, at a loss for words.

Couples, who reduce stress, eat healthy, exercise and increase water intake can increase the health of their hair. A variety of alternative medicines and herbal homeopathy in shampoos, hair care products, and vitamins can also enhance hair health. Over-the-counter vitamins target and improve hair loss.Eating a variety of foods that increase estrogen levels such as wild yam, edemame, soy nuts can balance waning hormones. Exercising and drinking water builds the immune system and enhances blood circulation. Excess use of caffeine and alcohol can deprive the body and hair of valuable nutrients as well as dehydrate the skin. Dry and damaged hair follicles from chemical treatments and environmental abuse from wind and heat can also decrease hair growth. Seasonally, harsh chemicals in pools and spa treatments may also diminish and damage hair. Hair care products, shampoos, and scalp massage can induce hair growth. Oils and hair treatments nourish the scalp and hair follicles.
Hormone imbalances during menopause can be severe for some women. Husbands and wives should consult their medical health professional to research remedies for hair health. Experienced and hair care professionals can help women create a look that builds self-esteem and disguises hair loss while building self-esteem.
