Essential Guide to Younger-Looking Hair

No anti-aging beauty routine is complete without considering hair. Discover simple steps that’ll help anyone sidestep damaged, dull hair and keep locks looking lovely and luminous at every age.

As people get older, hair can become brittle, frayed and thin. Fortunately, there are effective methods to battle the signs of aging in order to attain — and retain — younger-looking and healthier locks. Get essential tips on keeping hair young and healthy with Skincare-News.com’s latest article, “Essential Guide to Younger-Looking Hair.”

What’s the best way to combat the signs of aging hair? Create an anti-aging hair care routine. Here are some helpful tips to get started:

  • Avoid chemicals. Avoid over-exposure to harsh chemical processes such as perms and color treatments that can strip hair of its protective outer layer, leaving it looking brittle and dull.
  • Sidestep snags. As hair ages, it becomes less resilient to damage and breakage. Keep hair healthy and intact by using snag-free ponytail elastics or smooth clip barrettes to hold hair off the face.
  • Avoid heat. In addition, be cautious with hot tools, such as blow-dryers, rollers, curling irons or flat irons. If used improperly, or too frequently, these appliances can seriously damage and weaken the hair shaft.
  • Protect from the sun. UV rays can damage hair right down to its core, making it appear faded, dry, brittle or frizzy by eliminating precious moisture and reducing shine. Protect hair with a hat or use a leave-in conditioner that incorporates ingredients that’ll defend locks from the sun.
  • Beware of brushing. Excessive brushing can cause hair to break, so only brush when styling hair. Also, reduce the amount of damage that daily brushing can cause by using a natural bristle brush that’s designed to gently smooth and detangle hair.
