My hair has always been “my thing “ and has been a critical part of my look forever . However......in the last year or two , I’m thinning rapidly around my forehead at each side of my face , and my hair is just not growing at the rate it once did . Like not at all . I feel like my hair looks “old “ and forced into a style , and I’m at a loss as to how to manage it . I’m aware that a low-functioning thyroid may be an issue , but repeated blood tests don’t support that self - diagnosis . Have any of you had this happen post -menopause ? What have you done about it ? Have you changed cuts and styles to hide the thinning ? I swear my scalp is ever -more visible under over head and bright lights , and I’m feeling unnecessarily old and unattractive of late . I’d appreciate any stories of commiseration , ideas , suggestions for managing thinning hair . I don’t have the bone structure to support an ultra short cut or I’d do it in a hot minute . Help !
