Aging Gracefully: 6 Hair Mistakes to Avoid

Overprocessing

Excessive coloring, perming, and heat styling damage hair and accelerate aging.

Hydration is essential. Try deep conditioning and moisturizing shampoos and conditioners.

Hair needs a healthy scalp. Cleanse and exfoliate your scalp regularly to remove buildup and boost hair development.

Avoid aggressive haircuts that accentuate fine wrinkles or thinning hair. Softer, face-framing styles complement your features.

A good diet with vitamins, minerals, and proteins encourages hair development. Eat salmon, eggs, and greens.

Like skin, hair requires sun protection. Hats and SPF hair products protect hair from UV damage.
