The Best Hair Care for Women Over 50
15
items The hair care I reach for at 51 for fuller-looking roots, shine and healthy color. Clarifying and nourishing shampoos and conditioners, bond repair, masks, dry shampoos and the hot tools worth the splurge from OUAI, Nécessaire, Kérastase, Olaplex and...
My once-a-week clarifying wash. It lifts product buildup, hard water and dry shampoo so roots feel lighter and fuller. Smells amazing too.
OUAI Detox Shampoo
A few sprays at the roots before blow drying and my hair looks fuller all day, without the crunch. A must if your hair has thinned out after 40.
Color Wow Raise the Root Thicken and Lift Spray
A loose powder dry shampoo with its own brush, so there's no chalky spray or white cast. It soaks up oil, adds a little volume and looks so chic on the vanity.
Crown Affair The Dry Shampoo
Two drops on damp ends before heat styling. It repairs, protects and gives that glossy, healthy shine that hair loses as we age. Tiny bottle, lasts forever.
Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil
A dry shampoo that actually cleans. It refreshes the scalp and roots between washes without residue, so I can stretch a blowout another day or two.
K18 AirWash Dry Shampoo
A gentle, scalp-first shampoo that cleans without stripping. Hair feels soft and light, and the minimal bottle is the prettiest thing in my shower.
Nécessaire The Shampoo
The matching conditioner that softens and detangles without weighing hair down. My ends feel silky, and roots still have movement.
Nécessaire The Conditioner
My weekly strengthening mask for hair that sheds or feels weaker with age. Ten minutes and hair feels thicker, stronger and so soft. Salon-level luxury at home.
Kérastase Genesis Reconstituant Hair Mask
The more affordable mask I alternate with my splurge one. Deep moisture for dry, sun-and-salt South Florida hair. It leaves everything soft and shiny.
Amika Soulfood Nourishing Hair Mask
The leave-in that does everything: detangles, protects from heat and keeps color from fading. I spray it on damp hair every single wash day.
Pureology Color Fanatic Leave-In Spray
The splurge that earns its keep. Bouncy, blown-out waves with less heat damage, which matters so much more for hair after 50. I use it multiple times a week.
Dyson Airwrap Co-Anda 2x Multi-Styler
Flexible plates that straighten at a lower heat with fewer passes, so hair stays healthier and shinier. Cordless, so it's my travel and touch-up tool too.
Dyson Corrale Cordless Straightener
Silk scrunchies that don't crease or snap hair, which is everything when strands get more fragile. I sleep in one every night to protect my blowout.
Slip Silk Skinny Scrunchies
The round brush for a bouncy, salon-style blowout at home. The ceramic barrel heats up so roots get lift and ends get that smooth, polished curve.
T3 Volume 2.0 Round Brush
A lightweight conditioner for hair that's not too fine and not too thick. It softens and smooths without flattening roots, and it smells like a luxury hotel.
OUAI Medium Hair Conditioner
