Yesterday I confirmed that legendary pop singer Janet Jackson’s hair was thinning (most likely due to menopause or premenopausal symptoms).
But some readers begged to differ that Janet was losing her hair (although the photo evidence is stunningly clear).
Loyal reader Kyra T. sent this close up pic of Janet’s short hair. But the pic only proves my point that Janet’s hair is thinning in some places. That’s scalp that you see between the threads of hair still clinging to the sides of her head.
For the majority of women of a certain age, hair loss at the onset of menopause is normal. Usually hormone replacement therapy (HRT) will restore your lustrous locks. That’s if you don’t have a family history of cancer. In which case, most doctors won’t prescribe HRT for you. But there are many natural alternatives to HRT available.
Check back for my Medical Minute post on hair thinning and other symptoms of menopause that will affect most of you as you reach the twilight of your life.
