Common menopausal symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats and changes in menstruation, but there are many others.The first thing to note about menopausal symptoms is that there is a surprisingly long list of them, and that no list is really comprehensive, because every woman experiences menopausal symptoms in an individual way. Hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, a decline in libido and changes in menstrual cycle are very common menopausal symptoms, but there are many others. Some very fortunate women experience these symptoms only mildly, or not at all, while for others menopause phase can prove a very challenging stage in life. If you are experiencing hot flashes, night sweats, depression, mood swings or changes in your menstrual cycle, and you’re a woman between ages of about forty and sixty five, it’s likely that these symptoms are signaling onset of menopause, but see your doctor for an individual, professional diagnosis. Your doctor is also best person to talk to about what you can expect in years to come, and treatment options which are available to you should you need them.

If you need some assistance maintaining shiny glow of your curly ques, here are some tips: Using right hair cutting technique is extremely important when cutting curly hair. It's important to cut hair in a way that creates right amount of volume without frizzies. It is also very important to go to right salon and to a stylist who is experienced in working with curly hair. To create a sassy hairstyle, simply wash hair and towel dry or use a diffuser. Once hair is almost dry use a moisturizing product that is not too heavy and run fingers through hair to add more volume. Let hair air dry and style as desired with your fingers.
