Here are 6 Tips to keep in mind for taking care of your hair as you age.
- Wash Hair Less Frequently
Regardless of your hair type, washing too frequently can cause hair to become dry and brittle. You should aim to use a shampoo that indicates your specific hair type, whether that’s normal, oily, or dry. - Choose The Right Products
Don’t skip the conditioners and volumizers. Conditioners are essential to any hair-care routine as this adds moisture to replenish hair’s luster and natural oils. Volumizers work to strengthen and plump up and add more volume to your strands. Avoid hair products that contain chemicals such as parabens and phthalates which are commonly found in many hair care products.
- Cut Back On Heat Styling Products
If you absolutely have to use heat styling tools, consider cutting back on heat intensive styling tools such flat irons, blow dryers. Cutting back will give your hair a break from damage that is inflicted from heat styling tools. However, if and when you are using heat styling tools make sure to use a heat protectant prior to use to protect against damage during heat styling.
- Eat a complete, protein-rich diet

- Check medications with your doctor
Temporary hair loss is a common side effect of many medications. Talk to your doctor to pinpoint what medications if any are interfering with your hair growth or hair loss.
