Hair Care Tips for Older Women

Hair care tips for older women
 

Anti-Aging Hair Tips

As we get older, women lose their hair and it becomes less lustrous and manageable. It can add to the look of 'aging' and women try various methods to have youthful hair.

However, the methods used by some women may actually accelerate the aging look, rather than help us look more youthful.


Bad practices:

  1. Dyeing your hair a much darker colour than your original colour. This can be further  darkened with bad dyeing techniques, such as constantly redying the hair before it has grown out. This will make the shade significantly darker, except for the grey streak at the roots, which will be lighter than the rest of the hair. 

What to do about it:


  • only touch up the roots, if the rest of the colour is still showing a nice colour. Touch up the roots for about 20 minutes. Then apply the colour to the rest of the hair, after about 10-20 twenty minutes, depending on how much colour has washed out.  You don't want the roots to be lighter than the rest of the head.
2. Dyeing your hair a red tone, especially if your hair is sparse. brittle, and white. Okay, this is a personal dislike! It usually looks brassy too, unless you go to a hairdresser you trust.  It just does not look good on older women whose hair is not healthy and it gives you 'an older woman trying to be younger' look. 

What to do about it:

  • choose a colour that is softer and suits your skin tone. Your original hair colour is a good guide.
3. Constantly dyeing your hair. 

If you are dyeing your hair at home, the home dyes do have more harsh chemicals than the hairdresser's products. 

  • I give my hair a rest. I noticed that my hair was getting drier. I had always had healthy hair so it was a big bugbear of mine to see dry, unmanageable ends (even when I was having regular haircuts and conditioning it)

What to do about it:


  • you can just leave it for a longer time between dyeing OR
  • I used to put a rinse over my dyed hair. At the moment, it is hard to get the range of rinses, or semi-permanents. that they used to have, but I would get a brown-based semi-permanent. As I am in my 60s, I do have grey hair but this trick worked for me. 
  • I would apply the semi-permanent over my dyed hair. I did this after about 2-3 weeks after dyeing my hair before my grey tips started to appear. When you do this, you are washing the semi-permanent that is on top of your dye, and it preserves your dye for a much longer time. 
  • By doing this trick, I was able to wait 3-4 months between permanent dyes. 
Anti-aging Hair Care Tips


4. Get a good haircut, based on the shape of your face. Look around for ideas online. You don't have to opt for the pixie look that seems to be the choice of so many older women. 

5. Don't become a 'helmet head' lol.  

  • hair is meant to move yet you see so many older women who use so much hair spray, that their hair never moves. They look as if they are wearing an immovable helmet. There are great products on the market that give you volume ie Volumizer, without the harsh look of hair spray.
  • If you prefer hair spray, run your brush through your hair before it is completely dry. It will keep the style and stop those pesky ends from sticking up, without that sticky unnatural look.
6. Buy good quality hair shampoos and conditioners, that are suitably labeled for your hair type.

7.  As you get older, your hair will not become as oily as when you were younger so wash your hair less. I used to wash it every second day, but wash it twice a week now. If the fringe seems oily, I only wash the fringe and hair framing my forehead so it always looks fresh and clean. 

8. Use zinc. It is great for hair and nails and the difference is noticeable when you take zinc tablets. 

9. Give yourself a hair and scalp massage with either olive oil or coconut oil. You can also wrap Gladwrap around your hair and leave the oil on for an hour. 

10. Rinse your hair after a shampoo with Rosemary water. Just boil rosemary in water, put it in a container, then pour it over your hair after a wash. It encourages hair growth and gives your hair a fresh, healthy smell.
