How to Protect your Hair as it Ages
You probably no longer have the lustrous tresses that you had as a young person. Now that you are a little older, some of the shine and vitality are gone. Yet with some judicious use of hair aids, you can be sure to keep your aging tresses looking good as well:
- Use products that double as treatments, advise experts. Use a leave in conditioner or a hair mask (also called masqes) regularly.
- A diet rich in soy and nuts is excellent for the hair. Though it may take several months, you will notice your hair looking shinier and more lustrous.
- Dry your hair upside down. This offers something called root-lift so that your hair appears fuller and there appears to be more volume in hair that may otherwise appear lank or limp.
- Make sure that your hairstyle is appropriate for the kind of hair. Just because you always had a particular hair style does not mean you cannot change it. What looked good on you as a 20 year old will obviously not work as well now if you are 40.
