9. Use Gentle Color to Cover Grays
Hair doesn’t just change color as we get older – it also becomes weaker and grows more slowly. That means damaged hair won’t be snipped off as quickly by haircuts. Chemicals used on “mature” hair should be weaker to avoid damage.
10. Calm Frizz in Winter, Too
Humidity gets the rap for causing frizzy hair days. But there’s more static electricity when the air is dry. This means frizz also flies in winter months and in the desert climates of the Southwest. Use conditioner to stop static electricity. Shampoos that are pH-balanced also can calm the frizz for hair that’s colored or relaxed with chemicals.
