Aging Hair

As women, we are well aware of the variety of changes (and challenges) we experience as we get older, and our hair is high up on the list.

As we age, so does our hair, and just like our skin, there is no one-size-fits-all for treatment and products. Some women struggle with overall thinning hair, and some with significant hair loss in patches. Other very real issues include dryness, slower hair growth, loss of pigmentation, more frizz, less volume, and more. Global beauty brands have recognized this and created divisions within their product lineups that target our concerns.

Here are five products aimed at keeping our crowning glory even more glorious.

Aveda has spent eight years in collaboration with world expert authorities in hair biology to create a new collection called Aveda’s Invati Ultra Advanced. This much-anticipated innovation launched in late July 2024 and is a multi-step system that’s 94%+ naturally derived, vegan as Aveda is known for, and aims to reduce hair loss by 77 per cent. As well as treating the scalp, the formulation thickens the hair shaft, resulting in plumped-up, fuller hair. The system goes beyond shampoo and conditioner, offering a scalp serum, leave-in fortifying treatment, and other options so you can fine-tune your routine to your personal hair needs.

Oribe’s Silverati Collection keeps our greys glorious and our silvers spectacular. Remember that loss of pigment, also known as greying, can result in strands that lack lustre. These products add shine, eliminate yellow tones in grey and silver hair, and bring the silver front and centre. Since hair that has lost pigment is often fragile, the formulations in this shampoo and conditioner protect, soften, and tame.

Flat hair without volume is common, and if one’s hair is a fine texture, let alone thinning, styling it can be tough. Hair powders can work wonders here. Sprinkled into the roots of dry hair and fluffed through with fingertips, they add fullness and the appearance of more hair. OSiS+ Dust It is a lightweight powder that adds buildable texture and is washed away at your next shampoo.

Toppik Hair Building Fibres target overall scalp thinning or balding spots and is easy to use. These natural keratin fibres are available in a variety of hair colours, allowing you to match them closely to your own, then apply them to areas where you want to see hair, not scalp. The spray applicator puffs out just the right amount of fibres, and you use the special comb with its irregular teeth to distribute them for a natural look, locking them into place with the fibre hold spray. It stays put until your next shampoo and is one of the most innovative and non-messy products on the market.

Experts in treating hair loss and thinning for years, the Nioxin brand addresses different needs for different heads. The Nioxin Scalp Care + Hair System 4 for coloured hair with progressed thinning works for women who need to protect their salon hair colour without the risk of stripping it. Colouring thinning hair does add some volume to its appearance, which is why many stylists recommend doing so. This system boosts hair growth for people with advanced hair loss, all the while protecting that colour after you leave the salon.
