If you’ve noticed hair thinning or dryness as you enter middle age, you’re not the only one. The best products for menopausal hair loss don’t just mask the issue—they’re designed to address the hormonal shifts behind it, creating a healthier scalp environment and strengthening your remaining follicles over time.

Menopausal and perimenopausal hair loss is a common process that often begins between ages 47 and 55, says Jodi LoGerfo, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC, a doctor of nursing practice and family nurse practitioner certified in dermatology. “As estrogen levels decline, the scalp becomes more sensitive to male hormones known as androgens; this results in hair thinning and loss,” says Dendy Engelman, MD, FACMS, FAAD, a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and Mohs surgeon at the Shafer Clinic in New York City. “Sebum (oil) production may also drop, leaving the scalp drier and less supportive of hair growth and retention.”

There are all sorts of menopausal hair loss products that can help, depending on your needs: topical treatments like minoxidil that target follicles directly, nourishing shampoos for thinning hair and hydrating scalp serums that fortify fragile strands, and vitamins. Below, we’ve highlighted some of the top dermatologist-recommended hair-growth products.
