Maybe you have practiced social distancing for too long and are skipping regular shampoos — or you have been experimenting with bolder styling products trying new looks before a return to society. Changes to your routine can lead to flakes and an itchy head from sticky scalp buildup. Over time dry shampoos, hairsprays, mousses, gels, oils, sweat, and dead skin cause residue accumulation clogging pores and blocking new follicle development. When this happens, your hair thins and can grow at a snail’s pace.

You are not the person you were at 20, and why would you want to be? Beauty brands spend billions of dollars researching and developing ways for you to turn back the clock when all you want are products that work and are tailored for your hair today. Beauty aisles are crowded with products to disguise your grays and care for color-treated hair; however, little is available for the increasing number of women like you only want to nurture your silvery locks.

Many women have a false impression that hair serums should be avoided because they can flatten fine hair. This is true, for the wrong kind of serum which can leave behind a sticky residue or cause an itchy scalp from serum build-up. The right kind of serum can be used every day even on thinning, graying, or wispy tresses. A lighter serum smooths and hydrates rough hair cuticles, nourishes the scalp, decreases frizz, and gives you a silkier, smoother mane.
