Meek's Mobile Makeup Counter: Caring For Your Aging Hair

Hey Blog Family and Followers,

I'd like to introduce you to my fabulously talented and beautiful Madre whom I lovingly address as "Sistah Gina". It was my mother's persistence that lead to my enrollment into a cosmetology program. I can hear her now, you will always need something to fall back on (Plan B). She was right, as always...

My mommy has been a professional stylist for over 32 years. During a recent interview, I gathered valuable information from her years of experience and I would like to share her knowledge with you, my blog family. It is a definite necessity that as we age, we alter our look not only for vanity but also for healthy preservation. Here it is:

As we age, changing hormones and the slowing of the metabolism effects the absorption of needed nutrients for hair growth. Being careless with your hair in older age can cause irreversible damage including hair loss. Hair has a lifespan and can survive much longer than human life. Hair continues to grow after death and even burial so if you carefully care for your strands they can remain beautiful, longer.

Crucial Hair Care Tips: Find a stylist that specializes in healthy hair care, Minimize or better yet stop wearing hard styles, add moisture back into the hair, and lastly, spritz products along with constant heat application causes drying and hair strands to break (snap just like that!).
