Perimenopause and menopause can affect hair in ways that are often under-discussed. Many women expect hot flushes or sleep changes, but fewer are prepared for finer scalp hair, softer lashes or thinning brows. These changes can alter the face gradually.

Brows are one of the first areas where many women notice a loss of facial definition. The tails may shorten, the arch may look softer or gaps may appear where hair once grew easily. After 35, this can be linked to ageing, hormonal change, historic over-plucking, stress, illness or simply a slower-looking brow cycle.

Lashes often change quietly. One year they hold mascara easily; the next they seem finer, shorter at the outer corners or less visible without makeup. For many women over 35, this is not simply a matter of age. It can reflect hormonal shifts, stress, illness, cosmetic habits and the ordinary lash growth cycle.
