One of the headaches that comes with increasing age is hair, not only because of gray hair, which is harder and drier, but because those who have fine hair notice how their hair is poorer and weaker. One of the most common pieces of advice from experts is to opt for a good haircut, since according to hair stylist Moncho Moreno: “The most common mistake is to keep hair too long and without structure,” he explains to the Telva publication.
When the hair is very fine and poor, what is most sought is to achieve volume and density effect. “After 50, fine hair usually loses density and strength, and long, straight hair accentuates this lack of body. The result is fallen hair, without volume and with poor ends, which visually ages,” adds the expert.
The passage of time is also noticeable in your hair.
The passage of time is more noticeable in some hair types than in others. For example, fine, dry hair with a tendency to frizz is probably the hair that ages the worst because it already “has less mass and less capacity to hold volume,” says Moncho.
The best strategy is to resort to a strategic haircut and of course an adequate routine that provides what thin and poor hair needs. We must try to ensure that the hair gains quality with adequate treatment and with the cut to achieve more movement and volume.
Although we may believe that the appearance of the hair only makes a difference in the mane, in reality this is not the case. The face also looks different depending on how we wear our hair, which is why there are hairstyles and haircuts that even have an anti-aging effect. “Thin, long hair without volume flattens the face,” explains Moreno.
The worst thing is that thin or poor hair “gives a feeling of tiredness, accentuates drooping features and reduces luminosity,” says the expert. On the other hand, when the hair has body and movement, just the opposite happens, there is a clear rejuvenating effect, it lifts the features and provides freshness.
Precisely for this reason, we must look for haircuts that play with volume, that are capable of playing with shapes and repositioning texture in those parts where the hair looks thinner. A well-executed volume makes a difference.
Other details that don't help
Many times the problem is to continue doing the same things as before, they may have worked before but if now the needs are different then you have to change your strategy. “Always drying your hair downwards, parting in the same place or applying heavy products at the roots are details that reduce volume,” says Moncho.
You should also avoid hair styles that are too flat or without layers, because these types of shapes “show the lack of density and make the hair look poorer,” he explains. Therefore, it is better to go for cuts with structure so that the hair can gain volume and when we comb it it does not look flat.
The solution is to adjust length and shape. “A change towards a medium length or a more structured cut, combined with a routine that stimulates and strengthens the hair from the roots,” is what the stylist recommends. When hair quality is improved and the cut is adapted, “the change in the face is immediate and very rejuvenating.”
