1. Stop thinning hair

With age, hair growth slows โ€“ and the hair that does grow becomes sparse and fine. You can improve density with volumising products and minimising breakage by using styling tools on lower heat settings. Shorter styles with layers can make your hair โ€จlook full and improve manageability.

TRY: Viviscal Gorgeous Growth Densifying Shampoo and Conditioner (a), $19.95 each.
Nioxin Thickening Spray (b), $38.

2. Embrace grey

Hair turns grey when the cells stop producing pigment due to age or stress. But why not embrace it? Highlights and lowlights offer dimension and guard against flatness. Lighter tones of champagne, ash, silver and a very pale blonde work well and create the illusion of full, healthy hair. Use light-reflecting hair products to maintain radiance and natural shine.

3. Restore โ€จdry hair

Oil glands donโ€™t produce as much sebum as we get older, which means hair quickly becomes dry. Oil-โ€จbased products can help combat this, but try reducing the use of heat-styling tools โ€“ they will weaken your strands.โ€จInstead, be sure to use moisturising shampoos and conditioners.

TRY: Essano Argan Oil โ€จOf Morocco Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner (d), $15.99 each.

4. Strengthen โ€จbrittle hair

Hair becomes brittle and loses its elasticity with age. Eating foods rich in omega-3 and 6 fatty acids โ€“ such as oily fish and avocado โ€“ will help hydrate the scalp and strengthen follicles. Try using a conditioning masque at least twice a week.

TRY: Aโ€™kin by Alโ€™chemy Ginkgo & Jojoba Intense Moisture Masque (e), $19.95.
