Estrogen is important for hair growth, and when the hormone's levels fall during menopause, hair on the scalp begins to thin and fall out.

In some cases, these hormonal imbalances may also cause facial hair growth. Some women choose to take hormone supplements, which can decrease the amount of hair loss and unwanted growth.
