What Are The Top 10 Anti-Aging Hair Care Tips

Why Does The Hair Turn Grey? 

Giving away your age is your hair like your taste in music and comfort level with social media. Just like the rest of your body, hair changes with age. Francesca Fusco, MD, assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, explains that hair follicles may get smaller, as the sebum production declines, and some people lose pigment cells going grey. 

David Kingsley, Ph.D., president of the World Trichology Society, then says as hormones change, the hair sheds more and grows back more slowly causing it to thin. Leaving the hair feeling dryer, additionally, hormones trigger a reduction in sebum production. Fusco says as hair turns grey, at the same time pigment cells in the hair bulb wane over time. 

You can update it whereas the hair changes with age. To represent your style, they asked the experts to share their best ant-aging haircare tips and tricks to keep your strands looking healthy and youthful. 

See Your Doctor

Fusco thinks that any thinning has to be addressed early. According to her, there are treatments like minoxidil and Propecia working to regrow hair. Whereas to rule out other causes like anaemia, iron deficiency, an autoimmune disorder, or the side effects of medication is best. 

Get The Right Cut

It’s a myth that you have to cut your hair short once you reach a certain age, as your hair thins, and it's not a bad idea to cut the hair a bit shorter according to Nunzio Saviano, owner of Nunzio Saviano Salon in New York City. Giving the illusion of fullness, you can have beautiful hair that’s below your shoulders as long as it's cut in long layers that move together. While longer layers hold shape and look full, he explains that having too many layers only emphasises thinning texture. 

Delve Into Your Diet

Fusco recommends protein and iron that come as the two most important things to have in your diet for healthy hair. It can affect hair loss if your diet is restricted. To check for a deficiency in iron, vitamin D, or other minerals, she advises asking the doctor about a blood test and a medical history. As it contains zinc and other antioxidants that promote hair growth, once that’s ruled out, Fusco like the supplement Nutrafol. She then states that the patients have been happy with the results as there is good research. 

When In Doubt, Moisturize

As they can cause hair to look dull and strip away shine, Saviano tells his clients to avoid drying mousses and gels. He says that the trick is as it tends to be moisturising and less drying for the hair, he likes to use mousse designed for curly hair. To hydrate aging strands Fusco recommends rich conditioning treatments. Once a week she likes macadamia nut oil masks. 

Brush With Greatness

About brushing there is an old wives’ tale that you should brush 100 strokes a day. Saviano says it isn’t necessary. Which is good for the hair, gentle brushing can encourage healthy blood flow to the scalp.

Scalp massage may help increase hair thickness; in fact, some research shows. As the natural bristles are gentle on delicate stands and will distribute the hair’s natural conditioning oils, he suggests using a Mason Pearson soft boar bristle brush. 

Check The Label Of Your Lather

Fusco points out, it's usually in dandruff formulas when looking for a zinc pyrithione shampoo. It can help anyone feeling tightness or itchiness due to decreased sebum production on the scalp she says the ingredient is hydrating and soothing whether you have dandruff or not. 

Keep Your Cool

Especially damaging to thinning hair fibres is heat styling. Since the hair is producing less sebum, you have less natural protection against the heat as the stress can cause breakage. Recommending keeping any time you expose hair to flat irons or blow dryers to a minimum, Fusco warns against using too many heat tools. 

Stay Away From Spray

Telling her clients not to use too much hair spray is Jet Rhys, owner of Jet Rhys Salon in Solana Beach, CA. Causing hair to become dry and brittle are the drying alcohols in these styles. 

Build Body

Mona Gohara, MD, an associate clinical professor of dermatology at Yale University, explains to camouflage areas of thinning hair there is a wonderful product called Toppik using vegetable fibres. In creating the appearance of hair thickness, she says it's very helpful. 

To Conclude The Discussion, Gloss Over Gray

Rhys says grey hair comes naturally with a wiry, dull texture reflecting less light. 

She further says that you don’t have to completely cover your grey whereas semi-permanent or permanent colour can improve the texture and add body. To add some shine you can add a few ribbons. It helps thinning hair feel fuller as well as she also says that colour has the perk of increasing volume. Saviano thinks that making a big difference in creating the look of volume and shine are a few highlights around the temple.
