Consumer perception results, 104 women and 18 men, 3 months, 4 washes a week. Individual results vary. See every result from the study.
Why does menopause cause hair loss?
Menopause causes hair loss because oestrogen and progesterone fall while the effect of androgens rises, which shortens the hair's growing phase and makes new hairs finer. The NHS lists hair thinning or hair loss among the symptoms of menopause and perimenopause. It often shows first as a wider parting and less volume on top.
Falling oestrogen
Oestrogen helps keep hairs in the growing phase. As it drops, more hairs rest and shed.
Androgen effect
With less oestrogen to balance them, androgens have more influence on hair follicles, so strands grow finer.
Dry scalp
Hormone changes reduce oil, leaving the scalp tight and itchy and the hair drier and more fragile.
Poor sleep and stress
Night sweats and broken sleep add stress, which adds to shedding.
Nutrition gaps
Iron and vitamin D levels often dip in midlife. A GP blood test will show it.
Thyroid changes
Thyroid problems are common around menopause and can cause thinning, so they are worth ruling out.
What actually helps hair loss during menopause?
What helps hair during menopause is gentle daily care plus support from the inside. A sulphate-free shampoo and light conditioner protect finer strands from breaking, a weekly mask restores moisture to drier hair, and biotin and zinc contribute to the maintenance of normal hair. HRT and medical treatments are a conversation to have with your GP.
Refresh
Grow Me® cleans a dry, sensitive scalp without sulphates and leaves it feeling refreshed.
Strengthen
Condition Me® and Masque Me® help finer, drier strands resist snapping.
Support
GrowPro® gummies and Allevi8® add inside-out support through the change.

Hormonal and menopause hair loss FAQs
What are the best products for menopausal hair loss in the UK?
The best products for menopausal hair loss are a sulphate-free shampoo, a light strengthening conditioner and inside-out support. Watermans' Grow Me® Shampoo & Conditioner Set is rated 4.8 from 4,752 reviews, and GrowPro® gummies contain biotin and zinc, which contribute to the maintenance of normal hair.
Is menopausal hair loss permanent?
Menopausal hair changes are often long-term because hormone levels stay lower, but many women keep good-looking hair with the right care. Shedding linked to stress, sleep or low iron can settle. Speak to your GP about HRT or medical treatment if thinning is affecting you.
Does HRT help with hair loss?
HRT can help some women whose hair changes are linked to falling oestrogen, but it is a medical decision to make with your GP. A cosmetic routine such as Grow Me® can be used alongside HRT to keep the scalp comfortable and reduce breakage.
What is the best shampoo for menopausal hair loss?
The best shampoo for menopausal hair loss is gentle on a drier scalp, free from sulphates and light on finer hair. Grow Me® Shampoo refreshes the scalp with caffeine and rosemary and reinforces strands with biotin and lupine protein.
Can I use Allevi8® and GrowPro® together?
Yes, they do different jobs. GrowPro® focuses on hair with biotin and zinc, and Allevi8® supports menopause wellbeing with frankincense, turmeric, ginger and vitamin D. Check with your GP first if you take medication or have a health condition.
When should I see a GP about hair loss during menopause?
See your GP if hair loss is sudden, patchy, comes with tiredness or weight change, or is affecting your confidence. They can check iron, thyroid and hormone levels and talk you through HRT and other options.
Watermans products are cosmetics. They are not medicines and do not treat medical hair loss. If your hair is falling out suddenly, in patches, or you are worried, please see your GP or a trichologist first.
