When it comes to our hair, it is little wonder that it is often referred to as our crowning glory. It’s something that we use to express ourselves with, whether that is cutting jagged fringes into and over dyeing as a teenager, cutting short to mark a new phase of life, or coaxing into a bouncy blowdry for a milestone event. In a classic case of you don’t know what you’ve got ‘till it’s gone, we can also take our hair for granted, cursing as we drag a brush through unruly, lively curls or weeping as we try to coax fine strands into a chic up-do.
Rarely do we think about what we would do if our hair stopped cooperating with us in a more official capacity, such as the thinning that can come with age or lifestyle impacts. Dubliner Sharon Miller discovered that sinking feeling, and having looked after her hair beautifully all her life, found that the combination of menopause and medications left her hair feeling thin and lifeless. “My hair has been my pride and joy over the years.
I have always looked after it and used the right products, but since going through menopause and being on certain medications over the years, my hair has really changed and gone so fine," she told RSVP Live. “No matter what products I tried, nothing was working.” Luckily, she had a friend with an ear to the ground when it came to hair solutions, who recommended she book a consultation with Silke Hair & Beauty, owned by entrepreneur and hair expert Emma Robertson.
