2.) The hair shaft diameter
becomes smaller as we age
- Even though there may be an
equal number of follicles, hair appears thinner, and hairs may be more
likely to break
3.) Loosing 75-150 hairs per
day is normal
- See you doctor if more
haors/day are lost, it might be hormone related, mineral related, or
stress related
- 2% or 5% Minoxidil may help
4.) A shampoo the "volumizes"
may help, especially those with proteins from wheat or rice
Start with a volumizing shampoo; look for ingredients like rice or
wheat proteins, which thicken strands. Try Sally Hershberger Supreme
Head Shampoo for Normal to Thin Hair ($9.50, Walgreens) or Pureology
PureVolume Shampoo ($26, pureology.com).
When Thin Isn't In: Advice for Women with Thinning Hair continued...
Ditch the stiff, maximum-hold hairsprays — they can fracture the hair
shaft when you brush them out. "The new ‘flexible’ versions are less
likely to cause breakage," says Dr. Draelos. We like Pantene Pro-V
Classic Hairspray Flexible Hold ($4, drugstores) and Jonathan Finish
Control High Shine Flexible Hairspray ($30, Sephora).
Avoid too-tight ponytails,
teasing, or other styles that put excess tension on hair — you’ll just
promote breakage, says Dr. Friedman. Disguise sparse areas with CRC
Concealing Color ($28.50, qvc.com). For a fast, temporary fix, stipple
the cream on with a brush to "blend" your scalp into your hair.
Keep in mind that dye or perming solutions penetrate thinner hair
more rapidly, says Dr. Draelos. To avoid excess damage when touching up
color at home, she recommends applying the dye just to the roots, and
combing it through to the ends for only the last five minutes.
Antiaging Products for Your Hair
Like the ideal bathing suit or pair of jeans, the perfect shampoo
gets tougher to find as you age. Volumizing formulas often skimp on the
conditioning that drier hair desperately needs, while heavier, more
moisturizing shampoos can leave fine locks limp. But new products
targeted specifically at more mature hair claim to nourish without
sacrificing volume, thanks to a mix of mild cleansers and lightweight
moisturizers.
To find out if they work any better than the regular stuff, the Good
Housekeeping Research Institute put five of the newest ones to the test
with women between ages 40 and 60. The results: Our volunteers were
impressed with the category as a whole, but L’Oréal Professionnel Série
Expert Age Densiforce Shampoo ($20, us.lorealprofessionnel.com) and
Masque ($30) earned top honors. Testers reported that the duo left their
hair soft and delivered on the moisture-plus-body promise. "My hair
looked great — shiny, manageable, and better than usual," said one
woman. "The price is high, but this combo is worth the money." A
budget-friendlier option, which ranked a close second: Dove Pro-Age
Shampoo and Conditioner ($6 each, drugstores).
Make the (Right) Cut: Tips for Younger-Looking Hairstyles
The Magic Length You don’t have to automatically resign yourself to a supershort
crop. Instead, consider a length anywhere between your collarbone and
chin. "Hair that hits within those three inches is most flattering,"
says hairstylist Gretchen Monahan.
Layering 101 Avoid a choppy, overly layered cut if hair is thinning — you’ll just
play up the problem. "Often women get lots of layers because they hear
this adds volume, but layers won’t help if the hair is simply not
there," she says. Instead, opt for a cut with long layers and subtle
graduation, rather than shorter layers throughout.
Styling Do’s If your face seems more angular these days, soften the edges by
wearing gentle waves or curls around your face. If a fuller, round face
is the issue, do the opposite — a sleek, straight look is an easy way to
instantly counteract heaviness.
Fringe Benefits "Side-swept bangs give you a fun, youthful vibe," Monahan says.
"Plus, they instantly create fullness toward the front of your head,
where women tend to lose hair." Go for thicker bangs (wispy is aging —
it just looks like hair is thinning), but keep the ends soft and fringy;
blunt’s too harsh.
Does Your Hair Make You Look Old?
(continued)
Fullness Fake-It: How to Fake Fuller Hair
Mousse is unbeatable for building body — but tough to apply. Plopping
it on deposits too much in one section; rubbing it in your palms first
deflates its airiness. So we loved this trick from celebrity stylist
Nathaniel Hawkins: Squirt a dollop onto a vent brush and stroke it
through your hair. The product will slowly leak through the brush’s
openings, distributing it from root to end. Our pick: Tresemmé Tres
Mousse Extra Hold ($4, drugstores).
7 Shine Boosters: Tricks for Shinier Hair
Get in Condition "Use conditioner every time you wash," says New York City stylist
David Evangelista. Worried that it’ll leave your hair looking lifeless?
Preserve volume by applying it only from midway up the hair to the ends
and avoiding the healthier roots. (Extra benefit: Conditioner cuts down
on friction — and, in turn, breakage — as you brush.) In addition, do an
at-home deep treatment once a week. Try Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk
Instant Repair Treatment ($7, drugstores) or Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging
Hair Masque with Seasilk ($40, 888-425-8376).
Be Cool "Do a cold rinse at the end of your shower, or blast your hair with
cool air once you’re through blow-drying," says Evangelista. "Both help
seal the cuticle so it lies flat and stays shiny."
Protect Yourself Whenever you use a blow-dryer, curling iron, or straightener, be
sure to apply leave-in heat protection, says Gretchen Monahan. These
lotions or sprays go on before styling to form a barrier between your
hair and the hot appliance, cutting down on damage. Try VO5 Extreme
Style Heat Defense ($3.49, drugstores) or GHD Thermal Protector ($25,
Sephora).
Brush Right "Choose a brush with lots of tightly packed bristles to really
smooth hair," says Monahan. "Boar bristles are great for fine strands; a
boar-plastic mix is best for medium to thick."
Mist It Give heavy serums a time-out, and switch to a lightweight shine
spray instead. "It’ll give you sparkle and reflection without weighing
hair down," says colorist Louis Viél of the Miano Viél Salon in New York
City. Our picks: Umberto Beverly Hills Shimmer ($9, Target) and Privé
Flash Brilliance ($19.50, priveproducts.com).
Hit the Salon Consider a gloss treatment, which coats hair in a shine-amplifying
glaze for a few weeks. Viél suggests having one right after a color
service, when hair is extra porous: "You’ll get the most benefit, and
your color will last longer."
Color Correctly Ashy, mousy, or gray shades don’t reflect light well, says Viél.
"Brighten and add brilliance with warm tones, either with allover color
or highlights." Bonus: Because dye swells the hair shaft, your hair will
look thicker, too.
