What is different about hair styles for mature women?
As we age and go through menopause, one of the most visible changes may be our hair color and texture. Of course, those silver threads tend to start taking over. Our hair may also be thinner than it used to be. Sometimes curly hair gets straight, and sometimes our hair gets a lot frizzier. So how can we deal with this, but still look as good as possible?
Hair Color
Lots of women want to cover up grey, but not everybody does. The important thing is to make sure that your hair color suits your skin and eye color.
Some of my friends go for dramatic looks, and they become platinum blondes and red heads, even though this was not how they were when they were younger. Because of their hair and skin color, this works for some ladies. But others would do better to try to match the shade that nature gave them when they were younger. That is the color that brings out their natural beauty the best.
In fact, some studies have demonstrated that darker hair tends to make people appear younger. Maybe that is just because we tend to associate blonde hair with dyed hair. If you were a brunette at 30, you may look great as a ginger. But you may not.
Even if you intend to color your own hair to save money, maybe you should consult a professional the first time. They are trained and experienced, and they can give you great advice about picking the right shades.
I, myself, was blonde as a child. My hair turned brown as a teenager. I can still get away with a lighter color. But I find that I am actually perceived as younger when I color my hair light brown. In addition, I don’t have to worry about getting my eyebrows to match my head hair. For a more dramatic look, I may just try some blonde highlights.
Hair Texture
I also do not have the same hair I did 10 years ago. My hair has thinned, and it has also lost most of its natural curl. I find that a layered cut helps it look fuller and brings out what curl remains.
You may find that the haircut you had relied upon for 30 years does not serve you had relied upon for years just does not do it for you any more. In that case, it is time to have a serious chat with a professional. He or she should be able to advise you on the best cut for you. I have also found that it is better to find a hair stylist who specializes in more mature women. There is no use trying to get over 50 beauty advice from a salon that usually serves 15 year olds.
Hair Loss
Have you noticed you are losing more hair than you used to? It is natural for some hair to fall out every day. Even kids lose hair onto hair brushes and combs, but new hair takes its place quickly. As we age, that replacement slows down. But some common hair products can aggravate this.
Some people develop sensitivity to common chemicals in shampoo and conditioners. Sulfates and silicone could be to blame. Try natural products that are silicone and sulfate free for a few weeks to see if that helps.
