hair loss is a side effect of menopause. also thyroid and stress. try to avoid all those especially these days. I loose a handful everytime I brush my hair. I'm 61 yr old I take thyroid med. and a side affect from the med is "hair loss" can't win at all. Like they say you don't have to shave your legs as often so you will have time to work on your new "mustache". good luck girls. Mary
