AAD.org talks about your hair and what you need to do to keep it looking good:

In addition, women in their 40s usually enter the periomenopause period. As estrogen levels start to fall, women may notice more hair thinning, that their hair doesn't grow as quickly, and the hair shaft starts to thin slightly in diameter. Dr. Draelos noted that women who are having trouble with hair growth during periomenoapuse should see their dermatologist for treatment.

Once a woman reaches her 50s, she will notice that hair growth naturally slows down. Since the diameter of the hair shaft continues to thin, Dr. Draelos advises women to shorten the amount of time they leave on styling products - such as hair dyes or permanent wave solutions — because thinner hair shafts require less time to process.
