Hair thinning and perimenopause.
More hair in the brush, less density at the scalp, or a part line that looks wider than it used to. Common across the transition, tied to the shifting balance between estrogen and androgens.

How Primrose & Eve tracks hair thinning
Primrose & Eve lets you log hair thinning in two taps, with a five-point severity scale and optional trigger tags — stress, caffeine, alcohol, poor sleep, exercise, heat, food. After three weeks of logging, the app's pattern engine identifies what is making your symptoms better or worse, using the same statistical tests epidemiologists use. Those findings go into a clinical briefing your doctor can read and act on in the time you actually have with them.

What is hair thinning in perimenopause?
More hair in the brush, less density at the scalp, or a part line that looks wider than it used to. Common across the transition, tied to the shifting balance between estrogen and androgens.
Is hair thinning a recognized perimenopause symptom?
Yes. Hair thinning is one of 34 named symptoms in the perimenopause transition. It is documented by Mayo Clinic. It is one of the less-visible symptoms — real and common, but easy to miss or dismiss in a short appointment.
How can I track hair thinning during perimenopause?
Primrose & Eve is designed for exactly this. Log hair thinning in two taps each day, and after a few weeks the app identifies patterns: whether certain triggers make it worse, whether it clusters at a particular time of day, and how it is trending over time. Everything goes into a GP Report — a clinical briefing you can share with your doctor.
