Thinning, Dry, Fragile Hair After 50? A Dermatologist Explains

Thinning hair, dryness, breakage, or scalp changes after 50? These shifts are common, but not all of them are untouchable. Dr. Aleksandra Brown, board-certified dermatologist, explains why hair changes in your 50s and 60s, including menopause hair loss, gray hair, increased fragility, and scalp sensitivity. As follicles miniaturize and oil production declines, hair can appear thinner and feel drier, but the right approach can help support long-term scalp and hair health. If you’re navigating aging hair and want evidence-based guidance from a dermatologist, this video breaks it down clearly and practically.
