Our hair speaks volumes and it’s one of the very first things people tend to notice about us. The condition of our hair can be a tell-tale sign of our overall health and age. Check out these 6 ways that your hair may be aging you and find the solutions you need to restore your hair to a youthful state!
Your hair lacks shine
Buildup of oils and product leads to dull hair. Restore shine and luster to your hair with a clarifying shampoo once a week or once a month depending on the extent of the damage to your hair. During your regular shampoos make sure to rinse your hair with cold water- this will close the shaft, which helps to reflect light and promotes shiny hair!

Your hair is frizzy
As we age, our cuticles become more fragile, making it more susceptible to snagging on combs, towels and our sheets. Instead of using a rough towel on your hair, use a hair turban or a hair towel to wrap and dry your hair.

Your blonde is brassy
Blame sun exposure and harsh minerals in water for the brassy tint to your blonde hair. Brassy hair not only makes you look pale, tacky and older. A purple pigmented shampoo
will tame any brassiness.
