Keeping hair youthful with age
Hair doesn’t grow on trees; it grows on our heads.
As we age, it’s important to take care of our hair to keep it in great shape. Here are some tips and tricks that might help!
- Brush with care
For all lengths of hair, make sure you brush it. Even those with short hair can benefit from the massage of the bristles on the scalp. Light combing can stimulate the hair follicle for healthy hair regrowth. When brushing longer hair make sure to brush the knots out from the ends and work your way up. This will cause less strain from all the pulling and yanking.
- Multivitamins
As we age, our bodies require more minerals and nutrients to maintain our youthfulness. There are many vitamins that can help with pigmentation and prevent hair thinning, including Vitamin B, D, E, Zinc, and Iron, among others. Multivitamins, such as the Swisse Multivitamins from the Ultivite range, provide a convenient way to replenish a blend of minerals, antioxidants, and herbs to support our bodies and our hair.

- Air Dry
Hopefully you’ve mastered the act of patience and can wait out the hair drying process. Wet hair can be fragile, so brushing it, wrapping it in a towel or drying it with heat can damage it. If you wish you can use a light micro-fibre towel or t-shirt to gently wrap your hair. Even better, simply pat your hair dry with a micro-fibre towel and leave it be. A serum or coconut oil can be a nice treat for the ends of your hair if it’s feeling extra dull.
- Grey Hair and Colour
Some people embrace their greying hair without any regrets, recognizing that aging is a natural process. However, if you’re not ready to embrace the look of grey hair, you can consider dyeing your hair. It’s important to carefully follow the instructions on the dye package, as some dyes can contain chemicals that help the colour adhere to your hair. While dyeing your hair is generally safe, it’s important to be mindful of keeping it away from your face and not leaving it on for too long. If you prefer a more natural option, the Bio Magic Hair Colour Range is a good choice for those looking for an organic-friendly option.
- Manage hair loss
As we age, it’s common to experience some form of hair loss, such as thinning or hair becoming finer. In men, hereditary hair loss is also common, with hairline recession and crown thinning being typical symptoms. While there are medicinal products available to help with hair loss, such as the Regaine range, it’s important to consult with a doctor or pharmacist before using them. They can provide advice on whether the product is appropriate for you and how to use it safely and effectively.
- Nourish and strengthen
Haircare is essential to keep your hair healthy, and there are many great products available to help. To find the right product for your hair, it’s a good idea to consult with your hairdresser or pharmacist. A new product that you might want to consider is the Growth Bomb Range, which is specifically designed to promote scalp health and protect against hair breakage for stronger and longer hair. The range contains a plant called ‘Yerba Maté’, which is rich in antioxidants and caffeine, making it an excellent choice for those seeking stronger hair.
