3. Wear Sunscreen in Your Hair
Just like UV rays can damage your skin and lead to the signs of aging, they can do the same to your hair. You won’t want to put traditional sunscreen in your hair because that will just make it look greasy and gross. However, you can apply a product that contains SPF for your hair. This simple step will help keep your hair from drying out and breaking off, something that can age you many years.
4. Choose the Right Shampoo
You might think shampoo is just shampoo, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. This is especially true if you have color treated hair. In that case, you want a shampoo that will help preserve the color and keep it from getting brassy or washed out. Likewise, if you have dry hair or damaged, a shampoo that targets those issues will have you well on your way to younger strands in no time.
5. Shea Butter is Your Hair’s New Best Friend
Chances are you’ve used shea butter on your skin, right? It’s great for boosting moisture and warding off dryness. Shea butter can do the same for your strands too. Use raw shea butter and apply it all over your hair, from roots to tips. Cover your hair with a shower cap and blast it with warm hair from your blow dryer. Wait 20 minutes, then wash the shea butter out with shampoo.
