Changes Your Hair Undergo After 40

As a woman reaches the age of 40, she finds herself undergoing a lot of hormonal and physical changes. Some of these changes are at times shocking and get noticed lately. This is true for hair. Knowing these changes in advance can ease the stress of encountering such ‘changes’.

In this blog, we will be discussing two most common age-related hair issues and the possible solutions for each one of them.

Loss of texture

Usually a woman’s hair start becoming more dry and brittle after a certain age. This happens because the production of sebum in the body, a lubricant naturally present in the skin and hair pores, is slowed down. As a result, the hair loses elasticity. As we age, the sebum production rate is estimated to decrease by 10%.

Dealing with the problem of hair texture is easy. For beginners, the best thing is to start eating healthy. Go for a diet rich in calcium, omega 3 fatty acids, anti-oxidants and Vitamins E, C and A. Also, make sure you drink at least 2 Litres of water a day.

Loss of hair density

One of the most frightening changes in women is the thinning of hair. For most women undergoing hair loss is more traumatic than going grey. As women get older, they experience some kind of hair loss. Sometimes the loss might be minor, and not that visible. But in worst cases, the scalp could be easily seen through the hair, especially around the perimeter. In case you think that there is something abnormal about the hair loss, then you should without doubt book an appointment with a doctor. He or she might be able to determine whether the problem has been arising out of thyroid conditions. Sometimes, doctors might recommend a hormone replacement therapy. You can also try out Ayurvedic, herbal treatments, which are better and safe.

Each time you subject your hair to chemical conditioners and shampoos, there is 100% chance for your hair to lose its natural integrity. Chemicals can make your hair strands brittle, dry and rough. The lesser you use chemical-rich shampoos and conditioners, the better it is for your hair. Once the damage is done, the only solution is to remove the damaged hair, so that healthy hair grows out. So, better go for natural options.

Summary

It is no new thing that with the progress of age, there can be obvious changes in the texture of a person’s hair. In this blog, the writer has tried to introduce the reader to few age-related hair issues, and their solutions.

Just like skin, the condition and growth of your hair is an outward sign of inside health.

     1.     Eggs: Eggs promote hair growth as they are an excellent source of aforementioned omega-3s and also contain biotin. But do you know that it is not the egg white, which makes your hair longer, rather it is the yolk!

     3.   Cinnamon: Cinnamon helps in improving circulation which brings nutrients and oxygen to your hair follicles. What is the easiest way to consume cinnamon? Just sprinkle this spice on your toast or in your coffee. You can also apply Strong & Nourished Hair oil to your follicles to get longer hair.

  

     4.   Yellow peppers: Yellow peppers are very good for your locks as they contain five and a half times more vitamin C than oranges. Vitamin C is an antioxidant, which strengthens the hair shaft & hair follicles and hence prevents breakage.

     5.    Oatmeal: As oats are rich in fiber, iron, zinc, omega- 3 fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids, that is why, they promote hair growth and make your hair thick and healthy. Apply Safe Ayurvedic Hair Loss Therapy shampoo to get longer hair.

     6.   Sunflower seeds: Only a few seeds of sunflower can offer plenty of vitamin E, which enhances blood flow to the scalp and also promotes hair growth.

     7.    Almonds: Due to their high biotin content, almonds make your hair grow faster and thicker. After adding almonds to your diet, you should be able to see results in a month or two.

Shiny, beautiful and healthy hair is a result of a healthy body and a healthy diet, so do not forget to include these foods in your diet. Eat healthy and have beautiful hair naturally.

Short to Long Hair Instantly: Tips for Wearing Hair Extensions

Do you regret chopping your hair really short or you want something extra on your head as it is a special day for you? Hair extensions are the easiest and the best way to add length and volume to your short hair. Here are some of the hair extension tricks to make your hair look longer without making any effort for growing them.

1.     The Phony Pony: There are days when you want a long pony to swing with your face. Try a clip-in ponytail to get a long ponytail look and hide the hair extensions smartly by wrapping your own hair around the base of your pony.

2.   Unnatural colors: Instead of bleaching your hair after every few days because you easily get bored with your present look, go with the colorful and long clip-in extensions to get the perfect shade of blue, pink, purple or any other color.

3.   Go Upside Down: Your hair can look longer if you only add volume to them and not particularly the length. Use your extensions upside down to make sure that your hair is going in the right direction if you want to make a heavy hairdo with them.

4.      Get your hair damp: Make sure that you get your hair damp before you put your extensions into rollers in case you want to curl your extensions. Damping your hair will help the extensions mix more naturally into the curls of your natural hair.  You can wash your hair with the perfect combo of Seal the Natural Goodness conditioner and Safe Ayurvedic Hair Loss Therapy shampoo to moisturize your hair.

Tip: If you have weak or damaged hair then do not use extensions until you improve the condition of your natural hair. Do not keep your extensions in for more than three months if your hair growth is fast or you have very thick hair as this will lead to tangling and breakage.

Hair extensions transform your look completely and add fun and fashion to your look. They are a great way to look different if you have a special occasion coming up or if you are bored of your everyday look.
