A few years back I noticed something was going on with my hair. You could see through it. My hair stylist was concerned. I was frustrated. My fine hair wasn’t going to go back to being thick with just a new ‘do either. The truth? I’m getting older.
I needed a foolproof anti-aging hair care routine fast. That’s where Lilyhair® Foam comes into play. Because let’s face it. Hair thinning isn’t uncommon. I’ve talked about it with my girlfriends before. Did you know that up to 42% of women will notice some hair loss in their lifetime and many of them will see hair thinning after age 30. That is totally me.
For me that means starting the day with a dose of Women’s ROGAINE® Foam after shampooing with a volumizing shampoo and conditioner. I can add it without worrying about my hair colro being altered and it’s fast and easy to incorporate into my daily routine. Adding a thickening gel helps too. My daily dose of volume velcro rollers added to damp hair that I leave in as I blow it dry does as well. But, I wanted to know more so I turned to stylist, Jill Crosby, for more answers to my burning hair care questions.
What is more important: how you style your hair if it is thinning or the products that you use?
Actually both are equally important. How you style your hair will determine not only how well you camouflage your thinning, but how well you maintain the well-being (health) of it too. Using excessive heat or tension is terrible for thinning hair, so be full of care when styling. And, products that are super high in alcohol or stripping chemicals can be damaging to hair as well. I know women who have thin hair are afraid to condition hair thinking it will weigh it down, but it is so important to keep it hydrated which aids in strengthening it and flexibility.
Supplement versus product (i.e. a shampoo) which one works better for coping with hair loss?
Well, the term supplement is so broad, so I am going to go with nutritional supplement and say that I believe heavily in good nutrition as a road to well-being, but I also believe there is added power and results in combining both treatment and nutrition together for your best outcome. With an 81% regrowth rate, Women’s ROGAINE® Foam is a must add to the conversation.
Is there a go-to style or length that helps disguise thinning hair?
No, no “go to style” works for every woman because all of their needs and circumstances, tastes and preferences are different. I always council that women talk to a trusted stylist and have them help design a look best for them and their hair type.
When it comes to styling your hair what’s the first thing a woman can do to help with hair loss and thinning hair?
Treat the hair you do have with respect and handle it with care. Start a treatment program as soon as you see hair loss above the average (average is 50 -100 hairs a day) and don’t be afraid to ask for help. Talk to your stylist, your dermatologist and even visit us at WomensRogaine.com for how to videos and helpful tips.
