How to deal with hair aging?

Learn how to recognize aging hair

Regarding beauty, people often tend to think that the natural aging process only causes a change in the appearance of skin. Wrinkles on the forehead, crow's feet, or lines around the lips, skin that has lost its elasticity or facial sagging... If your face bears the marks of time, then the same is true of your hair and scalp:
  • Hair starts to turn gray: this is the first sign of the aging of hair.
  • Over time, the activity of the melanocytes (cells located at the hair root) gradually decreases, until they are no longer able to fulfill their role of hair pigmentation.
  • On the scalp, cells take longer and longer to multiply.
  • There is reduced blood micro-circulation, and less oxygen and nutrients necessary for healthy hair growth are supplied - the hair suffers the consequences of this. It doesn't grow as well as before and sometimes falls out. Most importantly, its diameter decreases.
  • Hair becomes thin, dull and more fragile.
Hair aging is in motion...

What products can be used to deal with hair aging?

As swapping your hydrating cream for an anti-aging product seems to be of utmost importance when the signs of aging appear on the skin, it makes sense to adjust your hair routine by using products that are designed to fight against the aging of hair.  

With this in mind, a redensifying product for hair is essential. Why? Because during the aging process, the hair fiber becomes thinner, until it results in an overall feeling of loss of hair volume. This should not be confused with naturally thin hair. When hair ages, there is an obvious loss of density: your hair doesn't behave like before, you have trouble styling it, and when you put your hair in either a high or low ponytail, you can clearly see that your hair mass is no longer as substantial as it was a few years ago.

Redensifying shampoo, serum and other products to treat hair aging are therefore particularly useful in order to reinvigorate hair and protect it. These products and treatments have densifying and strengthening properties, which add thickness and bounce to hair from the roots to the ends. 
  
As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure. Don't wait until your hair is badly damaged to use suitable products. At around the age of 45-50, do an initial assessment of the condition of your hair and the advancement of hair aging.

Activate hair growth, a solution to fight against hair aging

As hair ages, it becomes dry, more fragile, and significantly less resistant to brushing, blow-drying and all environmental factors (such as pollution or sun exposure).

In order to add more shine, bounce and strength to your hair, food supplements for hair may be very useful. Providing appropriate food supplements are chosen, in particular those containing B vitamins (they help boost the production of appendages i.e. nails and hair) and antioxidants, they will have an effect on hair growth and quality.

A key point to be aware of is that the aging of hair results in growth slowing down substantially, and that sometimes, hair that is no longer growing can cause discomfort. To be used for 3 months minimum as a course of treatment.
