ENDURING ELEGANCE, DAY AFTER DAY

During menopause, hormonal changes often cause hair follicles to produce finer strands or reduce overall density. While you can’t fully reverse this process, there are ways to help your hair look and feel thicker. A balanced diet rich in protein, iron and vitamins is essential, as is gentle scalp care to encourage circulation. Avoiding harsh styling, over-brushing or heat damage also makes a difference.

Many women find that using gentle shampoos and conditioners alongside lightweight, damage-free extensions restores a sense of fullness. Phoenix Crown’s discreet Virgin hair clip-ins are designed to add natural density without pulling on fragile roots, giving you a safe way to bring back volume and confidence.

Yes, when chosen carefully. Extensions give the appearance of thicker, healthier hair, but it’s important to avoid methods that put stress on the scalp. Tape-in, bonded or glued extensions may feel heavy or cause further breakage. Clip-in extensions are a gentler alternative, as you can wear them flexibly and remove them whenever you need a break.

Smaller, targeted pieces such as temple or crown extensions (explore our Crownet, Petite and Mini ranges) can be especially effective during menopause, blending seamlessly to restore balance in thinning areas.

There isn’t one single solution, but rather a combination of approaches. A healthy lifestyle and good nutrition support hair from within, while gentle hair care products reduce further breakage. Some women choose medical treatments such as topical minoxidil (under advice from a healthcare professional), while others prefer cosmetic approaches like shorter cuts or subtle extensions to restore fullness.

The key is avoiding anything that causes extra damage. Gentle clip-in Virgin hair extensions provide volume and shape without adhesives or chemical treatments, helping hair look its best while you navigate life’s changes.

For many women, hair might not return to its pre-menopause density, as reduced oestrogen and progesterone levels permanently change the hair growth cycle.

However, this doesn’t mean hair health can’t be improved. With the right care - gentle products, good nutrition and protective styling - hair regains shine, softness and manageability, even if it remains finer.

Many women embrace new styles, or use subtle extensions to enhance all-over volume and restore balance. Phoenix Crown’s range of luxurious Virgin clip-ins offers a natural way to adapt your style with elegance, without compromising your hair’s long-term health.
