Educational program: biological aging of hair

Not only the skin is aging, but also the hair. One of the signs of the process is depigmentation. With age, the production of melanin decreases - the pigment responsible for the color of the eyes, skin, hair. It is not enough for "coloring" all the strands. At first they fade. Then there are single gray hairs, which become more and more every year.

Sometimes aging manifests itself as a violation of the stages of hair development. There are three of them. At first, they are thin, weak, devoid of pigment and almost invisible. The second stage is "vellus" hair. The latter is hair shaft. With age-related changes, the rod is first replaced by a cannon one, and then practically disappears.

Another sign: dryness, brittleness, loss of gloss and elasticity. Reason: after 35, there is less keratin in the hair.

For some, these processes begin earlier than 35 years old (at 30 and even 25). Risk factors: hereditary predisposition, smoking, frequent exposure to the sun without UV protection.

To warn, cannot be prevented

Hair aging is inevitable! But, with proper care, the process can be "postponed" indefinitely.

Use good cosmetics with a maximum amount of moisturizing ingredients. Choose shampoo according to the type of scalp - this is only a cleaner, and it will not help nourishment of the hair follicles in any way.

Do not use cheap dye - often it is low-quality paints that lead to dryness and premature aging. Give preference to non-ammonia based oils. Olaplex is an excellent care component that protects hair during coloring.

Mesotherapy helps to delay the appearance of gray hair. Melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) can be stimulated. But to understand what they lack for normal operation, it is possible only after examining the hair for the mineral composition.

Oils are an essential component of "anti-aging" hair care. My favorite: Huile de Baobab.

Use a UV-protected hair spray before sun exposure to avoid photoaging. If you don't have funds with you, a headdress is required!

Don't ignore vitamin and mineral complexes. Select the composition after consulting a specialist: we are all different, we age in different ways, and there is no single mechanism of struggle!
