Thank you for this. My menopausal hair is out of control. My texture is coarser and extremely dry. Plus it’s thinning or gone in some places AND tangled at the scalp. Hair used to be wavy all over but not it’s just flat or straighter in the front and very curly in the back. I can’t take this. My hair has never been like this!!! 😩
Your entire post is what I’m dealing with. I just turned 50, and all my life I always had EXTREMELY thick hair like five layers thick, now I barely have two. I can see my scalp I’m some areas especially at the top scalp. My hair just doesn’t look the same at all and I’m fixing to just start wearing a wig because I’m so sad about my hair.
Thank you for this. I’m Primenopausal and gray in the front. I recently couldn’t understand what was happening with my hair. It extremely dry and the grays are very wiry. I’m so happy I came across this video. I was feeling lost and was seriously considering chopping it all off.
I really appreciate this you and this video. After 18 years I’ve decided to take down my Sisterlocks. I’m at the end of menopause, thankfully gone through with few symptoms. But my hair, my beautiful thick locs have dramatically changed. Beginning with the loss of several, especially at the front. I notice a lot more scalp when I retighten, they’re thinning and I know if I keep up the regimen I’ll lose more. So, with a big sigh and a smile, I’ve decided to begin the journey of taking them down. I’ve thought of just cutting them off, but I’d like to try and maintain some length. It’s a big change, but then so is the menopause. Thank you for your extensive hair care library. New subscriber, I’ll be diving in.
Thank you Karen for letting us know what is going on with our hair and that we are not alone. My hair has been extremely dry for nearly a decade (due to menopause) and it has been a real struggle. My hair sheds a lot but it is thick so I am very blessed in that area. But the dryness (and the matting from it) is difficult to deal with. I have been applying spring water with olive and avocado oils and it has made a huge difference. I also went back to using grease on my scalp (once a month) and it has helped curb the matting at the roots. Anyway, thanks for sharing. The next time I purchase hair products I will check out your line. Thanks again. ~TT
Hey TT! Thank you so much for sharing! I know menopause can be super though and the dryness is REAL! Menopausal dryness is a whole other level of dryness! I totally get it! I’m in the process of recreating a moisturizing system to address this. And the hair grease is definitely lubricating for the scalp and softens that hair! Good for you! I create an entire video about the benefits of hair grease.
My hair has always been thick until a few years ago. I don’t have any of the menopausal symptoms except for hair loss. I didn’t know that hair loss was a part of menopause. I was so sad about my hair & the loss of thickness on the top of my head. I have been trying to pay attention to my hair & babying it. I am taking my iron & MSM. I am seeing a positive difference so far. I am glad that I found your channel.
Hey Chell! I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. If I could encourage you -- remember to use this time to really MAXIMIZE your best lifestyle practices. It really makes a difference. And remember -- the hair loss may only be temporary as well. Here's a video on my hair growth journey -- much of which helped me to maintain my healthy hair growth. th-cam.com/video/70g_KH_WH2I/w-d-xo.html Another video on a hair restoration journey.

I’ve been dealing/struggling with menopausal hair and needed to hear this. I started taking collagen powder a few months ago and have had results with my skin but not my hair. I just had blood work done for vitamin deficiency and learned that I am low in Vitamin D and B-12. Explains a lot. I’m going to start those supplements and hopefully it’ll make a difference in how I’ve been feeling. And a bonus would be seeing a positive difference with my hair as well.
Hey there! I know it’s difficult so I’m so happy that you have identified what is going on internally. When the body gets what it needs the hair will benefit as well! Hang in there and trust the process 🤗
I’m going through menopausal hair as well. It’s very dry, brittle and stringy. So I started using lighter leave ins, water based and grapeseed oil to lock it in cause it’s a light oil. My hair is loving it. I have to re moisturize every 2-3 days. I use a half distilled water/green tea, half aloe Vera juice with glycerin and msm powder spritz.
@@ebonywatson9939 Yes. I forgot to mention my 50+ multivitamins. Unfortunately, I’m still lacking in the B-12 & D. I like the green tea formula you mentioned. I’ll have to look into that. Thank You!
I didnt get hormone therapy because of cancer issues...my hair was fsirly long but thinning...(its natural) but wasnt growing staying same length and really dplitting badly...everybodys like why you cutting all that hair? But it didnt feel healthy...so i cut it wrongly...now im praying and staying hopeful it will grow back. Im post meno, have seb derm, and diabetes! Lol God willing!
My hair is so thin from my crown to the front of my head. There’s not much that I can do anymore to cover my scalp. I think maybe just shaving it bald is my only choice. I really enjoy your videos.
Hey Lady! I’m so sorry to hear. Im sure you’ve been to a dermatologist and doctors to determine if the hair loss is permanent. Did you receive an actual diagnosis? I’ve seen many women just rock a bald head - it’s a beauty i confidence! 🙌🏾🥰
"M-pausing" and (especially) the hair loss have been MOST stressful. This video was right on time. Thank you for the wise encouragement and more great tips, Mrs. Karen. Phytoestrogens... who knew? I appreciate you. God bless you!!
Hey Sunshine!!! ☀️ You always bring a smile to face! It’s good to hear from you. The hair loss can be so challenging! 😥 I suggest that you do everything you know to do … including eating phytoestrogen foods and trying as much as possible to manage your stress …. And let God do the rest 🙌🏾
I've started really baby-ing my hair. Finger detangling gently is now a regular regimen. Definitely been taking my supplements like D3 & B12. Great information, Thank you!
Karen thank you for your knowledge and wisdom in the hair care realm. I am post menopausal and I have been wearing my hair natural for about 3 years now, and it definitely is a journey. I do all of the things that you have highlighted in the video, and I now have a better understanding of why my hair always seems to have breakage when I go to my hairdresser for a trim, and she isn’t helpful or knowledgeable in this area.
Well I’m so glad you are learning and getting a better hold on your haircare. I have countless videos on maintaining healthy hair - by all means - binge watch 😂
It’s a kick in the pants for sure. This shedding and dryness is driving me nuts. Yes I had to accept the new texture. Got a big chop and doing a restart. Learning how to live with this new hair. This information is right on time. I’ve been so frustrated with my hair changes.
Hey there! I totally understand! I know it’s not easy but don’t give up … and I know your not. But hang in there! Just keep on practicing and getting to know this new texture … eventually it will become second nature …. But here’s a hug 🤗
Thank you for this video, very educational. This makes a lot of sense. I remember as a child all the older BW complaining about their hair and breakage. Having this information is very helpful.
Under 40. Just came here to see if I could keep 4a/b curls once I allow myself to go grey since it grows in very loose! Seeing your hair gives me hope that I wont look like Einstein in 15 years
This video is great for me. I've been menopausing for years now. I responded to one of your videos before about my scalp aching and it's very uncomfortable. I use my scalphero to massage it and now I'm using your scalp treatment and I keep it moisturized everyday. It's still growing, but slowly. I don't seem to be losing alot, but it's thinning in front and crown somewhat. Other than this, the back it thick. The crown of my hair curl is not as tight as the other. Great video and thanks so much for everything you teach us
Hey Sunshine Girl! I know the scalp aches and tenderness are very uncomfortable. Those front texture changes are definitely a sign of menopause or even genetic hair loss. Make sure you are doing all you do to prioritize your health as much as possible during this time. Also I have a 7 week program that can help as well.
I'm trying my best to get it in and overall, my hair seems healthy; it's soft and moisturized because I finally got the information and know my moisture cycle. Would like to join, but can't afford it right now and I truly hope to someday in the near future. I will continue to follow you and your advise. God's blessing be upon your business and goals.
Thank you so much for your videos and education !!! I am menopausal and am finally starting to see some of my bald spots ( traction plus areata alopecia) fill in by following your instructions. It’s been a 3 year journey…LOTS of patience required. Thank you !!!!!
Hi Michelle! You are so very welcome! Hair regrowth is a MARATHON not a sprint. It takes time to reactivate those viable hair follicles. So glad you remained hopeful along your journey! Continue to speak life over your body, including your hair follicles! 🙌🏾
Thanks for the great tips. I'm post menopausal and also managing my greys since I stopped dying my hair. I definitely need to step up the phytoestrogens. I'm one of those lucky ones where my hair is starting to thicken back up. I've noticed all kinds of baby sprouts throughout my head and around my perimeter. Thank you, thank you!
Hya karen im going through menapause my hair is good no thinning i get a bit of shedding and it gets dry x i eat loads of nuts leafy greens for years i take collegen tablets x
You cleared up a lot for me, I thought it was something I was doing wrong or using the wrong products because I couldn't get the results I used to get, and I was aware of some of the menopausal changes, but you mentioned a lot I haven't heard about. You literally just answered everything that I had been dealing with, and I want to thank you for sharing this information, because I was almost ready to give up on my hair after working so hard to grow it out. 💙
Hi Kelsey! Thank you so much for sharing this! And I’m so happy you got some answers! Don’t give up! Keep going! I know your hair may be and feel different now but you can maintain it and keep it fabulous!
I love listening to your videos. Someone my age going through exactly what I’m going through. Thank you. I have so many of your videos saved in my favorite folder.
I’ve been watching your videos for a few months now, so glad I found you. The crown of my natural hair (the driest) is shorter than the rest, easily breaks, and has more split ends. I’ve tried everything, wasted money on products that are supposed to strengthen hair. I’m post menopausal, not much grey yet exercise regularly, eat healthy, drink water (no alcohol, soda, or juices), do not use chemicals in my hair, and I might use a flat iron a few times a month. What gives? 😭 😩
I am so grateful for this video. I am perimenopausal and my gray hair is dry and wirey. I love the gray but the texture is driving me crazy. I am thinning in spots too. I will be taking your advice.
Let’s talk about having 5 different types of hair, thinning crown and aching scalp or crown. Spots of hair loss that grow back then fall out again. Sometimes slight ooze or bumps😮
Hey there Just Heavenly Things! Several hair textures can be tough to manage Have you sought treatment from a dermatologist to determine the exact cause of the spots? Sounds like it stress related or autoimmune -- just a guesstimate! Both can be managed.
My scalp is during that same thing, my scalp was to oliy the Dermatologist told me he gave me 2 prescriptions plus a shampoo and I helped out a whole lot, After that my hairstart it coming back slowly I haven't lost it yet there was something embedded in my scalp particular in that 1 area The center of my head
I’m so glad I found your channel! I’m 52 and am experiencing thinning and have noticed the top of my hair has changed in texture. My curls are not popping in that area.
I understand! My hair is the same!!!! Here's a video that shows how I treat the top of my hair. I put much more product in that area! th-cam.com/video/GZ_FoAXUGJo/w-d-xo.html
Hey there! I think this is great for menopausal hair as it certainly conditions without stripping. I'd say GO FOR IT! It's also excellent for the scalp!
Hello Karen, I appreciate this video. I had blood work done, and was told I have to much testosterone. This can cause female pattern baldness. I was diagnosed with Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and now there's too much testosterone 😢. I have never heard of women having to much testosterone. My provider said this can happen in menopause. Have you ever heard of women having to much testosterone?
Yes. Well the way I understand it is that when the estrogen and progesterone decline then there is more naturally testosterone in the body, and the testosterone can convert to dihyrotestosterone (DHT) which leads to female pattern baldness. FFA is different as it is more of a scarring alopecia.
So I have a double whammy, I’m going through menopause and hypothyroidism. I used to have thick coarse hair. Now my hair is thinning and more brittle on one side. 😢
Hey Tracy! I know its tough. Use some of the tips in the video to help both with your hair and health. I also teach a online program that may help as well. For more info: www.curlhouseacademy.com Also, make sure you are taking steps to address your sluggish thyroid. Its takes time, but you will get there! 💜
i developed traction alopecia because my mom used to pull my hair alot i am now 16 ive used many oils but nothing is helping im gonna start micro needling but i dont know if theres any hope
Hey there! I'm so sorry are dealing with this.Traction alopecia can be a little tricky as it starts out as non scarring but over time it can get worse if not treated -- but YES! Microneedling can definitely help to restore the hair follicles that are still active.
@@ohoud1374 does the area look super shiny and slick? Is there any hair there - like peach fuzz? These are a few ways to determine but it’s always best to see a dermatologist or a trichologist for confirmation.
Recently my scalp has been so itchy. My hair seems to not hold natural styles anymore. I'm perimenopausal. So much of this stage I'm unfamiliar with. What do I do ..is it proteinor something else?
Your video are always informative. Where did you purchase your hair band from. Yellow is a good color on you. You mentioned soy foods. I have half of a thyroid. My doctor told me stay away from soy products. You are right about stress.
Yes! Soy is one of those touchy food that work for some and not for others. By all means follow your doctors orders! Also - the band is called a local soc! I have dozens! You can get them from www.soclocsoc.com
Ms. Lady,you said nothing but a Word 😂🎉❤ Menopause actually lasts just one day, but postmenopause lasts the rest of your age of maturity 😏 Prayer to Jehovah God and meditating by thinking deeply on His Word the Bible is vital as well. "Good health" to you, too,Karen😊(Psalms 65:2;83:18; John 17:3,17; 2 Tim 3:16,17; Mal 3:16; 3 John 1:2)
Hey there! 💜 There are 2 main smells to real batana oil. Strong coffee vs a Burnt smell. The burnt smell is from the extraction process. Remember Batana oil is extracted from the nut and the kernels that are left are in the batana. So burnt popcorn (kernels) sounds about right! 😂. Here's an article about it: batanababe.com/blogs/guide/what-does-batana-oil-smell-like?_pos=1&_sid=928d28856&_ss=r

Hello Karen, I appreciate this video. I had blood work done, and was told I have to much testosterone. This can cause female pattern baldness. I was diagnosed with Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and now there's too much testosterone 😢. I have never heard of women having to much testosterone. My provider said this can happen in menopause.
Have you ever heard of women having to much testosterone?
Yes. Well the way I understand it is that when the estrogen and progesterone decline then there is more naturally testosterone in the body, and the testosterone can convert to dihyrotestosterone (DHT) which leads to female pattern baldness. FFA is different as it is more of a scarring alopecia.

i developed traction alopecia because my mom used to pull my hair alot i am now 16 ive used many oils but nothing is helping im gonna start micro needling but i dont know if theres any hope
Hey there! I'm so sorry are dealing with this.Traction alopecia can be a little tricky as it starts out as non scarring but over time it can get worse if not treated -- but YES! Microneedling can definitely help to restore the hair follicles that are still active.
@@KarenofCurlHouse how do ik if the hair follicles are still active?
@@ohoud1374 does the area look super shiny and slick? Is there any hair there - like peach fuzz? These are a few ways to determine but it’s always best to see a dermatologist or a trichologist for confirmation.
Recently my scalp has been so itchy. My hair seems to not hold natural styles anymore. I'm perimenopausal. So much of this stage I'm unfamiliar with. What do I do ..is it proteinor something else?
Thanks you so much for the information! I’m glad to know that My Hair maintenance and self-care is on the right track!
You are so welcome! Fabulous!
Your video are always informative. Where did you purchase your hair band from. Yellow is a good color on you. You mentioned soy foods. I have half of a thyroid. My doctor told me stay away from soy products. You are right about stress.
Yes! Soy is one of those touchy food that work for some and not for others. By all means follow your doctors orders! Also - the band is called a local soc! I have dozens! You can get them from www.soclocsoc.com
How do you increase estrogen
Ms. Lady,you said nothing but a Word 😂🎉❤
Menopause actually lasts just one day, but postmenopause lasts the rest of your age of maturity 😏
Prayer to Jehovah God and meditating by thinking deeply on His Word the Bible is vital as well. "Good health" to you, too,Karen😊(Psalms 65:2;83:18; John 17:3,17; 2 Tim 3:16,17; Mal 3:16; 3 John 1:2)
Wow! It's lifelong! You just taught me something!!!
@@KarenofCurlHouse Postmenopausal women can still have symptoms smh😔🙄😒😏😊
Thanks You For This Information Awesome Awesome
@@kgraham4850 you are very welcome 🤗
WHAT IS A GOOD NATURAL ESTROGEN❓
Gurl! I've been menopausal for years now, and I tell you that my hair has been going haywire, and I want to cut it off so bad 😂
I am certainly not opposed to a nice fly hair cut! LOL!
The Batana Oil from Batana Babe smells like Burnt popcorn. It is a terrible smell.
Hey there! 💜 There are 2 main smells to real batana oil. Strong coffee vs a Burnt smell. The burnt smell is from the extraction process. Remember Batana oil is extracted from the nut and the kernels that are left are in the batana. So burnt popcorn (kernels) sounds about right! 😂. Here's an article about it: batanababe.com/blogs/guide/what-does-batana-oil-smell-like?_pos=1&_sid=928d28856&_ss=r
