The products you use to wash, style, and care for your hair are an essential part of its health, and this becomes more important as you get older.
You need to choose the right hair care products. Sulfate-containing shampoos should be avoided because they strip too much moisture from your hair and scalp, leaving the strands dry and brittle and the scalp prone to irritation.
Keratin, Cetyl alcohol, Antioxidants, and Restoring lipids are all ingredients you want in your hair care products for their nourishing and strengthening properties.
Reduce the frequency with which you wash your hair. Because shampoo (particularly shampoos containing sulfates) strips these oils out of your hair and scalp as you age, frequent hair washing can cause your hair to be excessively brittle and dry.
Because everyone's hair and scalp are unique, there is no universal frequency for how frequently you should wash your hair. However, some older adults may only need to wash their hair once weekly for optimal hair health. Experiment with various frequencies to see what works best for you.
Alter your eating habits. Because your hair requires specific nutrients to grow and thrive, it's critical to ensure that your diet is rich in these nutrients for healthy hair. Increase the following nutrients in your diet or take supplements to help your hair stay healthy: protein, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B7, vitamin B3, and collagen.
