Sue's Hair Regrowth Journey

Midlife Hair Loss: Sue McLea’s Hair Regrowth Story & Why She Chose MONAT

Hair thinning and hair loss are among the biggest frustrations I hear from women in midlife. Our hair can feel like part of our identity, so watching it become thinner, more fragile or seeing our scalp where we never used to see it can have a surprisingly big impact on confidence.

For this episode, I invited my longtime friend and client Sue McLea to share her own experience.

I’ve known Sue for years, so I knew what her hair looked like before. Over the last several months I started noticing the incredible difference in her hair — not simply longer hair, but visibly thicker hair and new growth in areas where she had previously experienced significant thinning.

Sue has now been using MONAT for approximately eight months and is also a MONAT ambassador. She joined me to explain what she experienced, what she uses and exactly how she uses it.

Sue’s Hair Loss Story

Sue began experiencing significant hair thinning around age 59–60, particularly around her temples.

It progressed to the point where she described having noticeable bald areas on either side of her head. Hairstyles she had worn for years suddenly became difficult because pulling her hair back exposed those areas.

Initially, she assumed this was simply another part of getting older.

Eventually, after watching the results her niece was experiencing with MONAT, Sue decided to try the products herself.

She was skeptical and gave herself a simple test:

Two months. If she didn't see a difference, she was done.
