From Root to Ritual

Perimenopause hair loss is everywhere in 2026. Dr Louise Newson's August podcast with dermatologist Dr Archana Rao. The STAT News investigation into perimenopause misinformation. The June 2026 specialist awareness push. The conversation has moved from medical clinics to mainstream beauty, and millions of women in their late 30s and 40s are having a version of the same realisation: the hair changes are real, they are hormonal, and most of what the internet is selling as a response is not matched to what is actually happening. This editorial is the beauty response to a medical conversation — not a prescription, not a supplement stack, but the ritual that makes the follicle environment as supportive as possible during the years the hormonal transition is running.
