Wish you had Stronger Hair?

Healthy, stronger hair isn’t just about the shampoo you buy—it’s also about how you’re treating the woman wearing the hair.

If your hair has started feeling finer, drier, or just a little “meh” lately, you’re not imagining it. After 50, hormones can shift, circulation can slow a bit, and hair texture can change—especially around the crown and parting. The good news? You can absolutely bring back more strength, softness, and shine with a few smart habits (and you don’t need a bathroom full of products).

Let’s make this simple and doable!

The big idea: strong hair starts at the root—literally. Each strand grows from a follicle that relies on good blood flow plus the right nutrients. So when you support your overall health, your hair usually gets the message.

A few internal factors that commonly weaken hair:

• - High stress (yes, it matters)
• - Poor nutrition or low protein intake
• - Smoking and too much alcohol
• - Crash dieting or long gaps between meals
• - Certain medications or health conditions (worth a chat with your doctor!

What helps your hair look fuller and feel stronger:

• - Gentle movement for circulation (even a brisk daily walk counts)
• - Protein at most meals (hair is made of protein)
• - A lower-sugar, lower-processed diet most of the time
• - Better sleep and stress management (your follicles love calm)

Your hair friendly grocery list!

You don’t need perfection—just more of these basics:

Protein (the building block)
Chicken, fish, eggs, Greek yogurt, beans, lentils, tofu.

Iron (low iron is a common hair-thinning trigger)
Red meat in moderation, chicken, fish; or lentils, spinach, broccoli, pumpkin seeds.

Vitamin C (helps your body use iron)
Berries, kiwi, citrus, peppers, broccoli.

Omega-3 fats (for hydration and scalp comfort)
Salmon, sardines, trout, walnuts, chia/flax, avocado.

Vitamin A + E (for scalp balance and protection)
Carrots, sweet potato, pumpkin (A); almonds, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds (E).

Zinc + selenium (for scalp and shedding support)
Whole grains, eggs, seafood, Brazil nuts (just 1–2 occasionally).

External factors that quietly rough up your hair!

If you want hair that looks elegant and youthful, protect the cuticle—the outer layer that creates shine.

Common culprits:

• - Too much sun (fades color and dries strands)
• - Frequent bleaching, harsh color processing, or over-toning
• - High heat styling every day
• - Wind, cold, and overly dry indoor air
• - Chlorine from pools

Damage-limiting habits that actually work:

• - Use a leave-in conditioner and rinse well after swimming
• - Turn down the heat tools (and use heat protectant)
• - Let hair air-dry partway before blow-drying
• - Wear a hat in strong sun or harsh weather
• - Add moisture back with a weekly mask
