Why Your Hair Changes as You Age
Did you know that around 50% of women will experience hair loss or thinning after the age of 40? Hormonal changes, especially reduced levels of estrogen and progesterone, can affect your hair’s thickness and texture.
As you age, your scalp also produces fewer natural oils, leaving your hair drier and more fragile.
Understanding how aging impacts your hair is the first step in choosing the right products to restore volume, health, and shine. Take our personalized quiz to understand your hair's needs.
