I am 51 and in the last year went through menopause. My hair started breaking along the hairline and stopped growing and became thin and dry. I do highlight my hair and am a swimmer,(swim everyday for an hour) but I rinse hair and put conditioner under cap and use only the best hair products and styling tools. I was just put on HRT and wondering if I stop romaine will I have side effects or loose more hair/not gain back since its only been 8 weeks.
