4 Signs of Hair Ageing

By Kerluxe September 15, 2018

When it comes to the skin we’re well versed in the signs of ageing, from lines and wrinkles, to age spots and sagging. However, grey hair is often thought of as the only sign of hair ageing, but there are in fact many other signs that your hair is getting on. Thankfully just like with the skin, hair ageing can be treated – if you invest in the right formulations that is. Read on to discover the most common signs of hair ageing and how to treat them…

Greying

On average you’ll get your first grey hair in your 30’s and 40’s but when you go grey is largely determined by your genes. However, premature greying can be caused by nutritional and hormonal factors too. A lack of B12, iron, calcium, zinc, and vitamin D can have an affect on skin ageing and premature ageing, making a healthy diet paramount if you want to avoid going grey earlier than your genetics intended.

Thinning

Hormonal changes are the main cause of age related hair thinning. Our tresses go through three stages – a growth phase, a transition phase, and a resting phase – as we age hair spends more time in the resting phase of the hair growth cycle. This results in more hair shedding than hair growth. For men hair thins and recedes around the hairline and crown, while for women hair loss occurs as a gradual thinning all over the scalp. If you begin to notice far more hairs in your brush start using the Reactivisse Hair Growth Activation Lotion, as this concentrated treatment stimulates hair growth by reactivated hair follicle stem cells for improved hair regeneration and hair density.

Dryness

Oil should travel down the hair to coat each strand, maintaining the optimum level of moisture. However, as we age oil glands shrink, and stop producing oil efficiently, leaving hair dryer than it once was. The best solution is to apply nourishing oils to the hair that penetrate easily and don’t weigh your locks down. The Resplendisse Hair Supreme Oil fits the bill thanks to its S.O.S Complex of Copaiba, Abyssinian, jojoba and macadamia oils.

Brittleness

Just as our skin loses elasticity as we age so too does your hair. A lack of elasticity causes hair to become brittle and prone to breakage, however, external factors like years of chemical treatments, and heat exposure damage hair even further. Strengthen locks with a protein based mask such as the Caviar4 Hair Mask as it’s formulated to combat the signs of ageing, by stimulating collagen synthesis and strengthening the hair root structure.
