As we age the growth cycle of our hair changes. The rate of growth slows down as the hair follicles start to rest. We experience colour loss and hair will not appear as thick as it once was,’ expalins SG Hair owner Samantha Golding. ‘To combat this we tend to use more chemical treatments such as colourants and perms and styling aids such as heated rollers, tongs and hairdryers for blow waving with the result that hair becomes weaker unless it is kept in tip top condition.’
Healthy hair always looks good whatever your age. So to prevent the signs of ageing – and encourage healthier and faster hair growth, SG Hair recommend shampooing once a week with a sulphate-free shampoo and use a conditioner to give it shine.
If your hair is fine, only use the conditioner on the ends and avoid heavy conditioners which will weigh the hair down and give you lank locks. Fine hair also benefits from cowashing.
Give yourself a regular scalp massage. Apply your conditioner or a treatment hair masque first and then gently knead your skull – it’s also a wonderful stress relieving treatment say the pros at SG Hair.
