Is Hair Loss Affected by Seasonal Changes?

Hair loss afflicts millions of people worldwide and causes a significant decrease in quality of life for patients. It is a common but difficult problem to treat since it has multiple causes.

Hair loss can be a naturally occurring event in the life cycle of the hair.  The life cycle of hair has 3 phases: a long anagen (growth) phase, a very short catagen (transition) phase, and a short telogen (resting) phase where hairs fall out.

The Best Hair Thickener By Better Not Younger, Changing The Narrative Around Aging

What Is the Best Hair Thickener?

Over the years, we witness our bodies changing — sagging, wrinkles, age spots, menopause. Hopefully, we have come to accept and love our evolving bodies; however, our aging hair may be a different story. Thinner hair can leave you feeling older than your years. Many women try to fix this problem by pulling out the hairspray or mousse to “pump up the volume,” which may have worked 25 years ago, but your locks have matured. Hairspray and mousse can stiffen and damage your hair, leaving you frustrated and sapping your self-esteem.

Do Hair Thickening Products Work?

We have all heard the idiom, "fake it till you make it." But as our hair ages, we find ourselves experiencing more faking than making. Our follicles shrink as they age, making fewer or thinner hairs. Nearly 55% of women face hair loss by the time they reach 70 years old; the most common is called female pattern hair loss. In your 40s and beyond, your hair biology is more vulnerable than ever; therefore, it is crucial to find thickening products that work and are good for your hair and scalp.

What Every Woman Needs to Know About Aging Hair

Aging is a fact of life—one that brings different types of change. But when it comes to our aging hair, we all share a commonality: Delicate, dry tresses that are prone to breakage and thinning.

Here at Better Not Younger we believe change is a beautiful part of life. There are so many benefits that our older age brings—like a wisdom and confidence that our 20-year-old selves could never begin to imagine.

It is these very gifts of time that inspired our founder, Sonsoles Gonzalez, to develop the first and only hair-care brand for women over 40!

She believes aging is a daily opportunity to look better, which is why Better Not Younger speaks to empowered women like you, who believe it’s possible to look better without looking younger.

Unlike the many anti-aging hair-care products out there, our products don’t aim to conceal the effects of aging, rather they enhance aging hair, from our Silver Lining Purple Brightening Shampoo, which helps silver strands shine, to our Superpower Serum, designed to nourish the scalp and support thicker, healthier hair.

Our mission to promote age inclusion and diversity, challenge stereotypes around women and aging, and give all women access to clean, cruelty-free, high quality products designed to improve their hair, scalp and inner health as they age is what drives us forward each and every day.

Let’s start with the basics, shall we?
