Hair Loss Solutions For Women Over 40, Including The Best Hair Styles For Women Over 40.

Hey everybody, this is Roseman from 40-plus style, want to talk to you today about a subject that affects a lot of women, but that a lot of women aren't very comfortable. Talking about that subject is hair loss. Nearly 40 % of women experience visible hair loss by the time, they're 40. So if you have hair that is thinning or that you're losing your hair, you are certainly not alone see our hair. The hair follicle gets thinner as we get older, so the actual size of the hair is thinner. Even if you have the same number of hairs in your head, it's going to look like your hair is thinner, because the diameter of each hair strand is actually thinner. If you have serious hair loss consult your doctor, it might be a thyroid condition or some other medical conditions, so first of all make sure that you are physically okay now for women, if you do have hair loss, it's different than a man for a man, they Tend to get male pattern baldness, which is baldness here and baldness here for women, it tends to be very different. It tends to be diffuse loss across the crown of the head and one of the first telltale signs that your part will seem to get wider, and I know for me it's really noticeable under bright light or if you're outside. You can definitely see that my hair is thinner. So let's talk about some of the solutions. If you have thinning hair or if you have hair loss, the most important thing is: you need to address hair loss or hair thinning as soon as you notice it one product that I love is women's Rogaine I get this at the drugstores. You can get it online, it's a 5 % minoxidil topical solution. It'S a mousse, you put just a little bit in your hand, and you rub it in to to your scalp. The thing is, though, that you have to use it every day. You can't stop using it because it stops working and it's not cumulative. So if you stop using it, your hair is going to start falling out again. I'Ve noticed with Rogaine that it doesn't so much grow back a lot of hair. Is it stops me from losing it? Another thing that I recommend doing is at least for me. I don't shampoo my hair every day. My hair is much drier as I've gotten older, so I don't have to shampoo it every day. So if you cannot shampoo your hair every day, it's great the less you can do to your hair, the better also heating and styling products try to stay away from them as much as you can. I just burned my hair like this, to show you something I washed my hair. I blew it dry just a little bit and then I twisted it up into a loose bun. When I let it down, it has a little bit of movement and some soft way, at least that you can. If you are going to blow-dry your hair, make sure that you have an ionic blow-dryer, an ionic blow-dryer uses negative ions to smooth the surface of your hair, and so that's great, because if you have those little frizzy hairs that you tend to get that we tend To get as we get older, it will make those lie-down more and it's softer and easier on your hair, so invest in an ionic blow-dryer, make sure you're using a sulfate free, shampoo sulfate is a very strong detergent and again we want to be as gentle to Our hair, as we can you, can find sulfate free shampoos in drugstore brands or in more expensive brands. You get it Sephora or beauty salon make sure it's sulfate free, okay. So, let's talk a little bit about camouflage, say you're, losing your hair and your hair is thinning and you want to camouflage it. The first thing that I would do is, I would speak to my hairdresser. They have some great ways to actually camouflage and hide some of that loss. One way is by how you style your hair. If you stick to longer layers, that's going to give you some lift and volume at the crown and that's going to help camouflage any loss. If you've lost in the front along your hairline, a great trick is to wear longer side-swept. So then people look at you they're, not looking straight through to your scalp use a dry shampoo to give yourself some more volume and lift and texture to your hair. Another trick is to use hair thickening fibers. This is a Bosley hair, thickening fiber, and it comes in lots of shades to match your hair. It'S a really fine powder and use just a little bit, and you put it at the roots of your hair and work. It through your hair, what that does. Is it actually thickens up each strand and it keeps the light from hitting your scalp. It looks really natural but make sure you don't overdo it because it really will dry out your hair. So there you go hope you find those tips helpful. Please take a look at the article for more information on hair loss. I'Ll speak to you soon.
