Keep reading for all the info on hair frosting so you can ask your hairstylist to try out this trending technique on your grays asap.

We all know that we should use a conditioner every time we wash our hair, especially as we age and our tresses tend to become drier. But just like shampoos, conditioners are not one-size-fits-all. Tailoring your conditioner to your unique hair texture and needs is important to help fix your hair concerns and have you on the road to your best hair yet! 

Whether you're looking for a volumizing conditioner, a conditioner for damaged hair or the best conditioner for curly hair, we've got you! Read on to learn more about the best type of conditioner for your individual hair issues!

We all have a specific hair type and, as a result, different hair issues—so it makes sense that every woman’s go-to shampoo looks a little different. While shampoos that are sulfate- and paraben-free are one of the commonalities in our aging hair handbook, we recognize that our delicate tresses have unique needs. 

That’s why we designed a collection of hair cleansing products to cater to all the hair issues your aging tresses encounter, from strands that are flat and thin to curls that have lost their shine and bounce. Keep reading to learn all about our problem-solving sulfate-free shampoos and everything you need to know when choosing the right shampoo for you!

What’s one thing that curly hair, straight hair and gray hair all have in common? They all become tangled at one point or another. Some more easily or severely than others. Major problems arise, however, when that tangled hair goes ignored and untreated, gradually morphing into matted hair and more often than not leading to hair breakage. The absolute last thing anyone wants to do is cut out various sections of hair, but tangled hair and hair breakage are no joke—especially when you’re dealing with delicate aging tresses. Before you result to the most drastic of measures, we’ve got a few tips on how you can detangle your tangled hair from the comfort of your own home—and we’ve tailored our tips to your hair type to make it super easy. When it comes to knotted, tangled hair—or even matted hair—it all comes down to how you detangle it (gently!) and what tangled hair products you use.

You may have instantly made up your mind to let your hair go to its natural gray state. However, transitioning from your dyed or natural hair color is typically slow and gradual. It’s a process that may take months and sometimes a year, depending on your hair's length when you start. 

Patiently waiting for our hair to go completely gray as a part of aging can often be the most challenging part. Most of us would love to avoid the gray roots and dry, wiry strands that can come with it. But the best method for gray hair transitioning isn’t as difficult as you’d think.

If you’ve ever taken an art class, you might remember that purple lies opposite yellow on the color wheel. It is the coolest color on the spectrum, while yellow is on the warm end. Purple shampoo is a tone-correcting hair-care solution intended to neutralize brassy or yellow hues using crushed violet pigments. 

But did you know that purple shampoo can benefit anyone’s locks regardless of their color or condition? Whether it’s natural or dyed, damaged or healthy, light or dark, purple shampoo can infuse vibrancy and volume into your hair.
