Hair Care Over 50s: How to Grow With & Embrace The Changes
1. Wash Hair Less Frequently
Shampooing too much after 50 can cause your hair to become too dry and brittle over time. This in turn, directly leads to breakage over time as well. As opposed to washing your hair multiple times a week, tone it down to once a week. If you have afro hair, consider washing with a week and a half gaps in between. Additionally, try TRESemmé’s Anti-Breakage Shampoo to provide your hair with the special care it may need while shampooing.
2. Invest in Hair Growth Products for Hair Care Over 50s if Needed or Desired.
If you find that your hair is thinning past your 50s, you are not alone! According to a study done by NYU Langone Health, 52.2 percent of women experience hair loss in some way, shape, or form once they’re over 50s. A good way to help combat hair loss early is one is to use a nourishing oil such as Suave Professionals Castor Oil & Mango Butter for Natural Hair and Scalp Oil. The earlier you use the product the better your results will be over time.
3. Take Vitamins to Enhance Hair Care Over 50s
Taking a mixture of vitamins not only helps to enhance several facets of your health over time, but, it also helps to prevent hair loss. Vitamins such as biotin, iron, vitamin c, vitamin d, and zinc are all vitamins that can help prevent hair loss over time. Although these vitamins can be found over the counter, always, consult with your healthcare providers before deciding what vitamins are best to add to your regimen for your body type and needs.
4. Keep Hair Hydrated + Polished
One of the best ways to keep your hair nourished when practicing hair care over 50s is to keep your hair hydrated.
