How to Thicken Blonde Hair During Menopause
As we age, our hair naturally changes — and for many women, menopause can bring some of the biggest shifts. Hormonal fluctuations, particularly the drop in oestrogen and progesterone, can lead to hair thinning, slower growth and even changes in texture or colour. For blondes, these changes can feel especially noticeable, since lighter hair often appears finer to begin with.
The good news? There are science-backed ways to restore volume, strengthen follicles and keep your blonde hair looking thick and healthy.
1. Support hair growth from within
During menopause, the decline in oestrogen means that hair spends less time in the growth (anagen) phase and more time in the shedding (telogen) phase. Nutrition plays a key role in counteracting this.
A 2020 study in Menopause Review found that supplementing with omega-3s, vitamin D, and biotin improved hair density and reduced shedding in postmenopausal women. These nutrients help strengthen follicles and encourage regrowth.
2. Stimulate your scalp to boost circulation
Regular scalp massage can significantly improve hair thickness by increasing blood flow to dormant follicles. In fact, a 2016 study published in Eplasty Journal found that daily scalp massage for 24 weeks increased hair thickness in nearly 70% of participants.
Use gentle circular motions for 5 minutes a day — ideally with a lightweight oil designed for fine or blonde hair. This not only nourishes the scalp but also helps remove buildup that can block new growth.
