Did you just hit 40 and now are starting to see changes in your hair? Or are you over 40 and seem to find that your hair is no longer as lustrous and shiny as it was before? Turns out that after you turn 40, your hair texture changes and might feel thicker, fragile, or even more frizzy.
However, just because you’re getting older and the effects are showing in your hair doesn’t mean that you need to stop caring for it. No matter your age, it’s important to spend some time treating your hair to ensure that it’s always in tip-top shape.
Embrace the change
While it might seem like a sudden change and you might feel compelled to grab some hair dye or over style it, we suggest embracing the change as much as possible. Fighting what your hair is naturally doing will not only cause damage and stress to the hair but can affect the scalp as well, causing hair loss, fragility, and even frizz. There is no reason why you can’t jazz up your look with some hair accessories, scarves, and hair ties to help you feel more comfortable with your hair.
Increase nourishment
Since aging hair can lose more moisture and tends to get dry and frizzy, it’s important to increase how often you nourish your hair. A great place to start with this is to think about your hair care routine and think about where you could increase the moisture. If your routine is pretty basic and you just use shampoo and conditioner, then it would only benefit you to add a few more products to help.
After you have washed and conditioned your hair, lock in that moisture and nourishment with a leave-in conditioner, being specific to cover the ends of your hair with the product. While the hair is still slightly damp, take a wide-tooth comb and section the hair into 5-7 pieces.
Once your hair has been sectioned, apply a generous amount of leave-in conditioner, ensuring that the ends of your hair are adequately covered in the product since this is where the majority of split ends are. Be sure to gently massage the product in your hair applying the least amount of leave-in conditioner to the top of your head as this will limit product build-up and grease.
We love the Boity Supreme Leave-in Conditioner for this step since it has been formulated for dry and dull hair which is often the case with hair over 40. It is a luxuriously lightweight product that contains Black Seed Oil which leaves dry and brittle hair sleek and glossy. Infused with carrier oils that pull nutrients into the hair shaft, the Supreme Conditioner helps to improve the look and feel of dry, fragile hair. Even though a leave-in-conditioner does add some much-needed moisture to your hair, it’s not nearly enough when you are over 40 and needs some more TLC.
