i am in menopause. my hair has gotten thicker, but seems to be a bit more corse then before. its always been dry and after i had my children it thinned and stayed that way until i hit menopause 9 months ago. (im 56). Now im noticing this change. its still shiny. and i don't have the energy i had before this started. people tell me its due to loosing my oldest daughter to heart disease (downs child, 23, born in heart failure). and that it will lessen over time. could there be anyother reasons? (Im also dealing with panic disorder and a bunch of little things that make me feel like crap alot.) im wondering if its tied into my hair feeling slightly different.
