Your menstrual cycle and your hair: everything you need to know.

Do you notice that just before or after your period your hair falls out more, looks duller, or feels weaker? Don't worry, you're not alone. Many people go through the same thing, and there's a very simple explanation: hormones .

The menstrual cycle affects many aspects of our body (mood, energy, skin, etc.), and our hair is also affected . Understanding what happens during these periods can help you take better care of it.

What happens in your body during the cycle?

Throughout the month, our hormones rise and fall. During ovulation (mid-cycle), estrogen levels are at their highest, which makes hair grow better, look shinier, and be stronger.

But just before your period comes, these hormones suddenly drop. And that's when many of us notice:

• Hair looks greasier or duller
• It falls out more when combing or washing it
• The tips become weak or split

Why does hair fall out more on those days?

Hair loss during these periods is usually temporary and normal . It's a natural reaction to hormonal changes. But there are other factors that can make it more noticeable:

• Iron deficiency , especially if you have heavy periods
• Fatigue or stress , very common before or during menstruation
• More sensitive or oily scalp , which can weaken hair

It's not serious, but it's important to listen to yourself and adapt your care.

What can you do to take care of your hair on those days?

1. Use natural, moisturizing and nourishing products.

🥥 3-in-1 Nourishing Mask

Your hormonal cycle influences your hair much more than you might imagine. That's why it's so important to adapt your hair routine to what your body needs at each stage. A good hair routine, natural supplements, and products that respect your scalp's balance can make all the difference.

The key is to know yourself and take care of yourself without judgment.

These problems aren't something you have to "fix" or fear . They're part of your cycle, your body doing its job. Instead of seeking aggressive formulas to "stop" them, at The Organic Republic we encourage you to navigate them with awareness, care, and natural routines.

Remember: hair has cycles, just like you.
