“NIGHT SWEATS TOTALLY RUIN A BLOW-DRY SO I INEVITABLY HAVE TO WASH IT BY MORNING. ANY TIPS?” APPLY DRY SHAMPOO TO YOUR ROOTS before YOU GO TO BED, THEN TIE HAIR UP INTO A TOPKNOT ON YOUR CROWN, KEEPING THE NAPE OF THE NECK COOL. TRY Percy & Reed Radiance Revealing

Invisible Dry Shampoo, £12.

“MY HAIR HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED TEXTURE SINCE THE MENOPAUSE.”

“AS WOMEN ENTER MENOPAUSE

THERE IS A HORMONAL SHIFT,” SAYS

SAM SNELL, AT NEVILLE HAIR AND BEAUTY. “A PROTEIN AND IRON-RICH

DIET WILL STRENGTHEN HAIR, REDUCING

THE RATE AT WHICH IT SHEDS.” SCALP MASSAGE HELPS TOO. “FINISH WITH A COLD RINSE TO DRAW BLOOD TO THE SURFACE AND STIMULATE HAIR GROWTH,” SAYS ADAM REED. ALSO TRY Percy & Reed Perfectly Perfecting Wonder Cleanse & Nourish, £18, WHICH SOOTHES IRRITATED SCALPS; Lee Stafford Hair Growth Scalp Scrub, £8.99 AT BOOTS, WITH EXFOLIATING GRAINS TO STIMULATE THE SCALP; AND Charles Worthington Thicker & Fuller Scalp Tonic, £7.99, WHICH NOURISHES HAIR AND SCALP. “I HAVE HALF THE HEAD OF HAIR I HAD BEFORE I STARTED THE MENOPAUSE, AND IT’S STILL FALLING. WHAT CAN I DO?”

“ASK YOUR GP FOR A BLOOD TEST TO CHECK FOR IRON DEFICIENCY AND THYROID IMBALANCE,” SAYS CELEB STYLIST PAUL EDMONDS. “ALSO DIET IS KEY. VITAMIN B, ZINC, SELENIUM AND AMINO ACID ARGININE HELP IMPROVE CONDITION.” HE RECOMMENDS Regaine for Women, £49.95 FOR FOUR MONTHS’ SUPPLY, A FOAM CONTAINING 5% MINOXIDIL KNOWN TO HELP ACTIVATE HAIR FOLLICLES; AND Viviscal Tablets, £49.99 FOR 60 DAYS, TO KICK-START

THE HAIR-GROWTH CYCLE.
