Hi there, I'm 45 and definitely peri menopause but not menopause yet because according to my Dr though my blood tests show a decline in everything important the fact I still get regular 28 day periods (albeit for 1 day only) mean I can't be menopausal. I have wavy/curly shoulder length hair and the amount I lose each wash is terrifying. It's lost all its body and 'oomph' and sits limply now. I've had a pixie cut before and I'm so so tempted again even though I know DH would prefer me not to as he doesn't like short hair. I've explained why I'm tempted though and I'm so close to doing it. it did genuinely (I think) suit me before but I always thought 'oh it's hair it'll grow back' before but now I'm 45 and the texture of my hair has changed I don't know I'd bother regrowing again. But can I be bothered to stick with boring shoulder length that doesn't do anything (I don't mean to offend anyone with shoulder length, it's just not doing anything for me anymore). This was my last time as a pixie, about 4 years ago. Face is not as young but generally same shape.

Yes, suits you. And why would your DH get a say anyway? It ‘s your hair.

That's mostly what I tend to say to him, equally some men like short hair; some long, I didn't want him to think his opinion doesn't matter.

If you can afford it, might be worth seeing a trichologist.
Philip Kingsley has some branches in UK or they do products that might help.
Loss of estrogen is often a factor.
