Ruth took to Instagram to share just how she battles an unfortunate side-effect of menopause – hair thinning. The star could be seen posing for a clip in a salon chair while her stylist put new extensions into her hair.

Ruth detailed in the caption: “Had my extensions renewed @leobancroft salon …..I don’t have them for length, just for extra volume after my hair got thinner in menopause.

“These are so tiny I hardly feel I have them in….but really notice the difference when I don’t! Thanks as always @laurenhoughtonhair for your expertise and the laughs!”

Ruth Langsford criticised for ‘mid life crisis’ after split

Although Ruth seemed to find the positive in her struggle with thinning hair, she did garner some negative remarks in the comment section.

One follower complained: “Again. How often do you waste money on these?”

Another questioned cruelly: “What’s happened to your own hair?”

A third swiped: “Very false looking hair.”

“It’s like a mid-life crisis,” chimed in a fourth.

‘You got this!’

However, Ruth did also rake in some love over her new hairstyle. One followed praised: “Looking mighty fine there Miss Ruth!!! You got this beaut.”

Another defended Ruth stating: “She’s had her hair done, she looks very happy with it YET sooooo many negative comments.”

A third said: “Go on Rapunzel Ruth.”

A fourth added: “Beautiful Ruth. My fave Loose Woman.”

In May, Ruth and Eamonn confirmed they were separating after being together for 27 years. They have been married for 14 years.
