Night Sweats and Your Hair

The Dreaded Age of Night Sweats

This is an aggrivating side effect of menopause. Many women will experience waking up in the middle of the night soaked with perspiration. Excessive perspiration is not always confined to the evening hours,  but can surprise you at any time during the day. This problem is not only uncomfortable but will ruin any hair style.

Remedies:
Speak to your doctor or your natural foods adviser about controlling the symptoms.
Reduce the room temperature to 68 degrees or lower while sleeping.

Hair Styling: The fist thing women, with medium to long hair, will feel is hair clinging to the back of their neck. The best thing to do: get the hair up and off ther neck. Covered bands, scrunchies. clips, barrettes and bobby pins can be used to create ponytails, French rolls and other updos. 
  • Danger: Many women who are experiencing menopausal night sweats are also experiencing the changing of the strength and thickness of their hair. There is a danger in using anything that restricts the natural movement of the hair, especially while sleeping. Movement of your body cases friction and stress on your hair where it meets the clip, scrunchie, etc. This can, and often does, cause your hair to break. Unless your hair is still strong and thick, I suggest using very soft, non-restrictive forms of control. You may want to simply adopt a shorter hair style.

Shampoo with a good quality shampoo as often as necessary. Speak to your hairdresser about hairstyles that are easy, since you may be styling several times a day.

Hair color and permanent waves can be affected.
The salt from perspiration may affect the chemical processes of hair color and permanent waves. While a shampoo is customary before permanent waves, it is not often done before applying permanent hair color. If heavy perspiration is a part of your life, shampoo your hair with a cleansing shampoo before every hair color application as well as permanent wave. This will remove any salt residue and provide more satisfactory results.
