Hormonal changes—whether brought on by pregnancy, postpartum, or menopause—can significantly impact your hair. These shifts may leave your hair feeling thinner, drier, or more prone to breakage, while scalp sensitivity can also increase.
At Rēcipe Botanica, we understand the challenges that come with these changes, and our plant-based hair care range is crafted to address them naturally and effectively. By using our treatments and colours, you can nurture your hair and scalp through every stage of hormonal transition with ingredients designed to restore balance and vitality.
The Impact of Hormonal Changes on Hair and Scalp
• Pregnancy: Many women experience fuller, shinier hair during pregnancy, thanks to increased estrogen levels. However, postpartum hair loss is common as hormone levels drop, leading to shedding and thinning.
• Menopause: Decreased estrogen and progesterone levels can cause hair to thin, become dry, and lose elasticity.
• General Hormonal Imbalances: Fluctuations at any age can lead to scalp irritation, excessive oiliness, or dryness, affecting hair health overall.
While these changes can feel overwhelming, the right care routine can help manage their effects and keep your hair looking and feeling its best.
