Hair Aging Is a Thing. Let’s Talk About It.


Listen, we’ve all been there. You wake up one day, look in the mirror, and—BAM—your hair has decided to reveal its age like a bad 80s flashback. Women over 35 know this struggle all too well, and while we might not have the power to time travel (yet), Sage Hair Collective can help your hair age more gracefully than an Oscar-winning movie star.

Before we dive into the solutions, let's explore the reasons behind the changes in hair texture that occur as we age. Several factors contribute to these transformations:

Decreased Keratin Production: Over time, our bodies produce less keratin, the protein that forms the foundation of hair. This can lead to weaker, thinner hair strands. There are a variety of keratin treatments/products on the market and with the guidance of your trusted stylist they can be a great addition to help strengthen your hair.

Hormonal Shifts: Hormonal fluctuations, particularly during menopause, can lead to hair becoming finer and more prone to breakage. The loss of estrogen and changes in other hormones can reduce hair density and strength. The key to mitigating this side effect is to be gentle with your daily styling, minimize heat and add a nourishing mask to your weelky routine. While we can't stop or reverse these shifts we can protect what we do have.

Reduced Oil Production: Our scalp produces less sebum as we age, which can result in dry and frizzy hair. Salon professionals can help by performing in salom treatments, giving you tip on at home styling and assuring you leave the salon with the right tools to give your locks the shine you once had. The plus side of this aging symptom is we are often able to go longer inbetween washes saving precious time and money (on shampoo at least.) While we can’t fully restore lost sebum, we can adapt. By nourishing and protecting our hair, we can keep it looking its best at every stage.

Genetics: Your genetic makeup plays a crucial role in how your hair changes with age. If your parents experienced hair texture changes, you're more likely to do so as well. Common signs your genetics mightbe catching up with you include hair that is more prone to breakage, a coarser or drier texture, and noticeable thinning, especially around the crown or hairline. While your salon professional can work wonders with various hair evolutions, it’s essential to acknowledge the natural limits imposed by genetics. For many women, accepting some of these changes as part of aging can be empowering. Embracing a new texture or learning to love a more natural, low-maintenance style can be an act of self-love. Professionals can also provide support by encouraging clients to focus on healthy hair habits and by normalizing the experience of aging gracefully.
