Your hair may never look better than it does right now – so, wear it well. At this point your hair is looking pretty good. Like most women, you are taking better care of yourself than you did in your twenties. As a result, your hair will be healthier now than it was then. One potential pitfall is stress levels as women become more “life invested” than they were in their twenties. Becoming more serious about careers, often having babies, forces you to juggle the demands of work and family; the result is stress-induced hair loss. To combat the condition, exercise is a great reliever, as well as good eating habits, proper nutrition, and a good hair-wellness program of feeding and protecting your hair.
Defeat dryness Start using a hydrating shampoo and conditioner even if your hair does not feel that dry. In our thirties, we start to lose lipids in our scalps similar to what is happening to our faces, so we need to up the ante on moisture. Establish good habits before your dryness issues start. There are anti-aging programs for hair just as there are for your skin so, consult a professional. Buy a grownup hair brush, one with small boar-bristles, to stimulate the scalp by brushing forward and backward, and side to side for one minute daily. If your hair is wavy or curly, do this before shampooing.
Because you hair is probably in good condition, you have the luxury of a wide range of styles. You can wear a pixie because your skin is radiant and your neck is smooth. Or you can show off your enviable hair by letting it grow down your back. If your life is more hectic than it’s ever been, you may want to consider a style more realistically maintained on your own, such as a mid-length style with light layers.Consider Color (yep, this means you) Many thirty-somethings notice that their color is becoming darker and duller or they spot their first grays. For natural blondes, the solution is simple; start highlighting. This camouflages the grays and at the same time brightens the mousiness. For red or dark hair that is sprinkled with silver try a semi-permanent to mask the gray. It is the kindergarten of color that supplies coverage without commitment.
Brace your hair for hormone havoc In your forties, hair falls into the same category as reading glasses; some days your eyes seem fine and other days you can’t read your horoscope. One moing your hair looks the same as always and the next day you swear your part is getting wider. The culprit is often hormone imbalance causing your hair strand to become skinnier and less plentiful. It is important to consult a doctor, a Trichologist, and a hair loss control specialist if you are conceed. With my experience, the key is intervention at this point. You can’t tu back the clock but you can keep hair loss from getting worse; a good hair loss control program can make all the difference. The newest, fastest growing trend is at-home laser hair restoration treatment.
