Keep your hair healthy & shiny as you age better

Growing older comes with its own set of challenges and frustrations — as well as unique joys. As we age, our hormones change and so do the lifestyle changes that are required. Maintaining healthy hair is a lifestyle change worth investing in as we age.

It is possible to age gracefully and with confidence. As we age, there are many things to worry about. Seeing new problems like split ends, dandruff, or hair loss can be a source of stress. With a good haircare regimen, you can have nourished, shiny hair as you age.

As we age, many factors influence the changes in our hair. Hair can become more fragile as we age, and growth may slow. Split ends and frizz can be a problem that our normal hair care routine cannot handle. Dryness is caused by a decrease in the natural oils produced on our scalp. How we take care of our hair affects our aging.

As we age, our hair needs change. Here are our top tips for keeping your hair looking healthy as you age.

Why does my hair get frizzy as I age?

The majority of changes that we go through as we age are gradual. However, they are still significant changes. Women can see their hair start to grey and more prone to dryness as they age. Some women may also notice their hair becoming frizzy.

As we age, our hair can become frizzy for many reasons. Changes in hormones can cause frizzy hair. Other causes include thinning of hair and reduced melanocyte production. Melanocytes produce pigments that give hair color.

Hair will turn gray when melanocytes are reduced, resulting in drier hair. Heat styling tools, like straighteners and curling irons, can cause hair to become dry, which leads to more frizz.

Full transparency Pure Revitalizing shampoo is a great way to treat frizzy hair. Full Transparency Shampoo combats frizz by adding shine to the hair and strengthening it. It was created for those with sensitive scalps or who need a hypoallergenic shampoo. This product has been dermatologist tested to keep your scalp healthy and clean right down to hair follicles.

How do you hydrate aging hair?

As we age, hormonal factors can cause our hair to become dry. Allowing our hair to air-dry rather than using a blow dryer can help us retain moisture. Heat protectants can keep hair hydrated if you use hot tools as part of your daily routine.

Our Heat Protection Taming spray protects your hair from heat damage. This product can be used on dry or wet locks. Reapply it as necessary to keep your hair moisturized. Blowdry your hair as you normally would without fear of dehydrating it.

It’s easy to hydrate your hair with a simple shower routine. Our Pure Revitalizing Full Transparency Shampoo is hydrating with chia seed and yuzu.
Chia seeds is a unique ingredient and superfood. They are a great source for omega-3s and zinc. They are not only good to eat but they can be great for your hair. Better Not Younger has harnessed the ability of chia seeds to absorb up to ten times their weight in water to help hydrate dry, aging hair.

Yuzu is an orange-like citrus fruit that’s most common in East Asian countries. This fruit is packed with vitamins and nutrients, which are ideal for nourishing and moisturizing alongside the chia seed.

Hair Tips After 40: How to Maintain Healthy Hair

You can age gracefully and easily by making lifestyle changes.

Here are some of our favorites:

• Keep hydrated. It makes sense to be hydrated, since dryness is a common problem after menopause. It’s not just about moisturizers or conditioners. Drinking enough water can have a big impact. When we are properly hydrated our bodies flourish, and this will be reflected in the hair and skin.
• Watch your diet. A healthy diet, like drinking enough water, is an important part of the foundation for aging better. The protein that makes up our hair is an essential macronutrient. As we age, our muscles can lose strength and volume. For this reason, Older adults need more protein than younger people. Your hair will be grateful if you give your body the right balance of minerals, vitamins and nutrients.
• Supplements that promote hair health are available. Diet is also a part of this. Many vitamins and nutrients can be beneficial for hair growth. They also help to slow down hair loss and prevent hair thinning. These compounds are found in our Important Other: Hair Skin & Nails supplement. They can help you achieve stronger, fuller hair. Biotin, Vitamin B and A combine to create healthier hair.
• Rinse hair with cold or ice water. Hot and warm water will dry your skin and hair, especially older hair. Rinse your hair with cold water after conditioning your hair or using a deep conditioner. This will close the cuticle, sealing in moisture.
• Take care of your hair. Too much roughness with hair will cause hair loss and a receding of the hairline. This is because aging hair becomes more fragile. Too tight hairstyles can damage your hair. Use a wide-toothed comb to detangle your hair instead of a brush. You can also have spa days with friends or yourself at home. You can also try our Restorative Butter Masque and nourishing hair masks made with coconut oil. You can use cucumber slices to cover your eyes.
