Her World Singapore|September 2019

Greying and thinning, and flat and dull hair shouldn’t be problems you have to live with just because you’re getting older. These tips, treatments and products should help take years off the way your hair looks. Think bounce, shine, volume.

How To Anti-Age Your Hair

DELAY THE GREYING PROCESS

The hair follicles contain pigment cells that give your hair its natural colour. As time passes, these cells decrease, so new hair is lighter in colour. The cells decrease to the point where none are left. That’s when hair becomes white.

TRY THESE: 1 L’Oreal Professionnel Serioxyl Black & Full Scalp Rejuvenating Essence ($78) is a daily hair-loss treatment with black shou wu, a traditional Chinese herbal extract that infuses hair with dark pigments – so that what would otherwise become grey stays black longer.

2 PHS Hairscience is a clinical-grade bio-cosmetic brand whose Age Defy Grey Reverse Activator ($274) helps reactivate pigment cells. The result of this increase in melanin production is darker hair.

BRING THE BOUNCE BACK TO FLAT, LIMP HAIR

Humidity, dirt and your scalp’s natural oils are a sure-fire combo for weighing hair down. Singapore’s all-the-time humidity is also the reason why wavy strands straighten out, and fine strands go limp. Why? All that moisture in the air has to go somewhere, so it lands on skin and is absorbed by hair. If your hair is already thinning as a result of ageing, it will inevitably appear a lot flatter.
