We talk about skincare ageing all the time… but hair ageing? That’s the one people don’t always realise is happening. The signs of ageing hair are subtle at first, until they’re not!
Ageing hair isn't just about greys, it’s about texture, strength and shine. Over time, hair naturally changes. It can lose hydration, shine and volume, leaving it looking dull, feeling dry, and harder to manage than it used to be. You might notice it’s thinner and flatter, doesn’t hold styles like it once did, or that your usual products just aren’t cutting it anymore. The good news is, ageing hair is completely normal, and there are ways to bring back that healthy, glossy, full-of-life look.
Haircare brands such as Kérastase have designed ranges specifically to target the five key signs of ageing hair and help revitalise it from scalp to ends.
So, What Are The 5 Signs of Ageing Hair?
1. Dryness
One of the earliest signs of ageing hair is a lack of moisture. As hair matures, it can struggle to retain hydration, leaving hair feeling rough, brittle or thirsty. This can make hair harder to manage and more prone to breakage.
2. Dullness
Healthy hair reflects light, which is why it looks shiny and glossy. When hair ages or becomes damaged, that shine can fade as the surface of the hair becomes less smooth, leaving it looking flat.
3. Frizz
Frizz often becomes more noticeable as hair ages because the cuticle becomes rougher and less smooth. This allows moisture from the air to enter the hair fibre more easily, causing them to swell and lose their sleek finish.
4. Thinning
Hair can start to feel thinner over time as the hair growth cycle slows and hair grows back finer than before. Hormonal changes can also play a role, especially during stages like postpartum or menopause, affecting how hair grows and sheds.
5. Loss of Volume
Flat, lifeless hair can also be a sign of ageing. As hair loses hydration and strength, it can sit flatter at the roots and lack its natural bounce, making it look heavier and harder to style.
Why Does Your Hair Age?
Ageing hair isn’t the same as damaged hair, it’s just changing needs. Over time, your scalp produces less natural oil, which can leave hair drier and less shiny. Hormonal shifts, like those that happen during menopause, can affect thickness, texture and growth. Even stress, diet, and environmental factors play a part. The good news? Your hair just needs smarter, targeted care to restore hydration, strength and bounce.
