Question:-I am 50 and now I find that my hair is thinning and receding slightly, is there any type of vitamin or supplement that will stop or reverse what’s happening? or will I end up looking like my mother

Reply:-the change of oestrogen levels in the menopause changes the hair growth pattern, causing hair thinning and hair loss in some women. Wash with mild shampoo, do not scrub the scalp, this will loosen the hair follicle -if using permant colours try to avoid bleach, this strips the hair of nutrients.

Diet :- check your  intake of Omega oils, 3 6 9- essential fatty acids, which promote heathly hair, nails, bones & skin. These are found in oily fish, salmon herrings sardines etc as well as nuts, flaxseed nuts or oil  taken daily will to improve hair health
