DOES OUR HAIR CHANGE AS WE GET OLDER?

Posted by Manny Y on 6th Apr 2015

What determines how thick your hair is and how much hair you’ve got on your head and body relies on your genes. Which means that your hair composition is in fact predetermined. But as you age, regardless how thick your hair is, it will definitely undergo changes, especially some degree of thinning hair.

Hair grows out from the follicle, a minute opening in the skin or scalp. The hair is composed of a protein strand, more specifically keratin. The sebaceous glands secret a special oil called sebum that lubricates hair and skin. Sebum is also important for normal hair growth. However, as we grow older , the rate of hair growth slows down. You may also notice thinner strands of hair and oftentimes, there is more hair fall than usual. This is because the hair strands grow to be smaller. As previously mentioned, the hair consists of protein. Afterwards, the hair begins to lose some of these proteins thus leading to thinning of the hair strands. Oftentimes, even the usual vibrant colour of the hair seems to grow lighter. Several hair follicles may also cease the normal production of new hair, leading to even thinner hair.

Just like how we take care of the skin and the body, we should also prevent ageing of the hair. By simply feeding the hair with nutrients will do wonders to delay hair fall and hair thinning. FAST is a special blends of herbs, B vitamins, and amino acids specifically targeted to nourish the hair and the scalp. FAST is not a hair loss product, but rather a hair vitamin to make your hair grow faster and healthier. Be kind to your hair especially now that you are ageing. It is a good idea to replace your ordinary shampoo with FAST Shampoo and Conditioner as this combination not only cleanses the hair; it also feeds each hair strand, thus combating the signs of hair ageing.
