Aging hair, fact or fiction?

As we age, so does our hair.  It may turn gray, while at the same time the texture may become brittle and may have a tendency to break more easily.  Hair in a lot of cases will also thin out and hair loss becomes more apparent as the aging process continues in life.  For most people, our hair begins to change as early as when we are in our mid 30's.  Using chemical treatments, over processing hair with color and the use of hot tools does not help aging hair.  What can you do to keep your hair healthy as you inevitably age?  Below are some steps we recommend you take to keep your hair looking beautiful even as the years go by.

1. Eat healthy-a diet that is rich in protein, omega oils and calcium will allow your hair to be strong and shine. If you are not a fan of foods that contain protein, omega oils and calcium, then be sure to supplement your diet with vitamins.  You will also want to consider taking vitamins that contain biotin, vitamins E, C & A as well as Zinc. 
2. If you are already experiencing the effects of older hair-breakage, hair loss, etc.. be sure to visit your stylist every 6-8 weeks to insure that your hair is being properly maintained. 
3. When your hair is wet, it is best not to brush it.  Wet hair is more elastic and prone to breakage.  Always brush your hair prior to showering and either let it air dry or dry it with a hair dryer until it is about 85% dry. At that point, it is safe to use a brush to style your hair. 
4. For Women, wearing a tight bun or ponytail on a daily basis, can cause hair loss, also known as Tract Alopecia. If you enjoy wearing your hair in these styles, try placing the bun or ponytail in different positions or alternate your look by wearing your hair down one day and up the next. 
5. Daily use of hot tools such as curling irons, rollers, or flat irons are not recommended. Try skipping a day or more in between. Hot tools dry out the hair, causing the hair to become brittle and break. 
6. Use products such as the IHI Hair Support Line. This line of products was scientifically manufactured to help stop hair loss.  With the use of their Home Treatment System, which consists of a shampoo, conditioner and overnight treatment, you will see beautiful results. We recommend this product to all of our customers and we have a hard time keeping it on our shelves. It really works and provides hair growth in a short period of time.
