5 simple tips for hair as we age
- As we grow older, our bodies undergo many changes, and hair is no exception. The building block of hair is protein, and its life cycle is from 2 to 7 years, a time that varies depending on age, diet, and genes.
- One of the most common changes that occur in our hair is its color, so as we grow older, the hair follicle stops producing melanin, causing it to turn white. Also, over time, hair thins, its life cycle shortens and it falls out, resulting in some hairs not being replaced, resulting in thinning.
- There are some “secrets” that we can follow so that these changes strengthen, moisturize and generally help the quality of the hair:
- We pay attention to what shampoo we use depending on the type of hair we have (dry or oily)
- It would be good to wash our hair no more than 2-3 times a week and it would be ideal to use a conditioner.
- A balanced diet and one that is rich in protein contributes to good hair growth and strengthening.
4. Some chronic diseases that are accompanied by medication may affect the quality of the hair as well as increase the rate of hair loss.
In these cases, it would be a good idea to consult your doctor in order to reduce any side effects.
