Are you finding it increasingly difficult to maintain your hair’s health, especially as you age?
You’re not alone — far from it. Hair goes through several changes during a person’s lifetime. And one of the most common physical effects of the aging process is a loss of hair. Whether you’re experiencing shedding, thinning, or just feel like your hair has seen glossier days, you don’t have to resign yourself to dry, brittle hair. There are steps you can take that won’t cost a fortune, won’t require a time-consuming commitment, and can really celebrate the hair you have. Lisa Abbey, founder and CEO of Strength x Beauty, provides three of her tips (and a few additional tips, to boot) on how you can grow thicker, longer hair over 40.
Go sulfate and paraben-free.
Before you run to the store and buy another shampoo or serum, it’s important to get a handle on the ingredients that you should include in your routine, and the ones that you should avoid at all costs for better hair. “Sulfates have long been thought to increase hair loss, thinning or hair fall, especially after 40,” Abbey said. “Instead, seek out Sulfate and paraben free plant-based hair care products – your hair will grow longer and look healthier.”
Avoid the over-use of talc based dry shampoos.
“Too much powder or talc at the scalp can clog pores and dry out the hair, ultimately resulting in poor growth,” Abbey said. “Many now are talc or powder free – you’ll know they are if the product feels a bit damp when it goes on. This means it likely is alcohol-based rather than powder-based and will dry quickly, without clogging the scalp and absorbing excess oils as it does.” If you are someone who relies on dry shampoo every other day to keep your hair looking fresh, it could be costing your scalp over time. Use these shampoos less often to maintain the health of your scalp and hair. Read More...
