I am going through the menopause and I am on patches, cut in half as nothing is agreeing with me. My question is, what can I do about my hair? It has gone completely unruly and grey hair is starting to overshadow the blonde hair. It's making me very unhappy, and I am already going through mood-swings so this really isn't helping. Please help me.

Has the doctor tested you for low iron or low thyroid? Both of these can appear in the menopause and affect hair growth.

If not it may be an idea to ask them just to rule it out.

In the meantime, you may find a hair supplement such as Hair Complex helpful, and also add in a calcium and magnesium supplement.
