6 Surprising Ways To Help Your Hair Grow and Reverse Hair Loss for Women Over 50

Since getting locs, I find that my strands are more forgiving of the shampoo and conditioners I’m using, but I still deal with a bit of breakage from dryness and frizz. I grew to accept that was my reality, regardless of the oils, butters, or cleansing products I used—that was, until I discovered 4U by Tia’s Moisturizing Shampoo about a year ago. It completely changed how my hair feels, and my usual post-wash shedding and frizziness have reduced tremendously—even my boyfriend has seen a significant difference in his curls.

While we always prioritize our skin-care routines, we sometimes forget about our scalps. They need hydration just like the rest of the skin. “Think about your scalp as an extension of your face,” says Gretchen Friese, MD, a trichologist at BosleyMD. “We need to keep the scalp moisturized to keep it healthy—and [keep] the follicles healthy for hair growth.”

Here’s the thing: My best friend has been getting braids every two months during the summer and a silk press every two weeks in the winter—and this has been the case for over two decades. With such a strict hair maintenance schedule and then throwing wigs into the mix, the frequent manipulation took a toll on her strands and scalp. Over time, she started experiencing significant hair loss with minimal regrowth around her perimeter. She was later diagnosed with traction alopecia by her trichologist.

Whether your hair is starting to thin or has always been on the finer side, it’s not uncommon for us to want to find ways to boost the bulk in our hair for thicker-looking strands. Your options are somewhat limited in this area, and many dermatologists recommend a multi-layered approach that involves trying a few different methods to see what works best for you. If you have genetic hair loss, the best solution may be minoxidil (Rogaine) or a more potent supplement, but hair oils can act as a natural topical hair thickening assistant, if you’d rather go that route.

The best oil for gray hair lends a little luster where Mother Nature has lost her touch. According to board-certified dermatologist Dr. Brendan Camp, “Gray hair may feel more coarse compared to pigmented hair because of less sebum or oil production.” But there’s hope. While natural oil production tapers off over time, the best oils for gray hair never stop delivering smoothing, shine-inducing, strength-restoring benefits. The trick? Finding a hair oil that delivers heavyweight anti-aging benefits, but is lightweight enough to keep gray hair looking vibrant, bouncy, and decidedly ungreasy. Ahead, hair stylists, dermatologists, and a trichologist share how to incorporate the best oils for gray hair into a weekly regime, plus the oils they most recommend for bringing a gleam back to silvery styles.

If you're searching for a quick and easy low-maintenance protective hairstyle, look no further than flat twists. “They involve twisting sections of hair flat against the scalp, providing a protective style similar to cornrows but instead using a two-strand twisting technique," says celebrity hairstylist Camille Friend. And because the look involves two strands instead of three, it's much easier to master than cornrows.

Bienvenue! I’m so pleased to share our latest InStyle Now, fronted by the inimitable Lily Collins.

That’s not simply intentional, it’s painstakingly, change-the-script-level intentional, Collins tells writer Elizabeth Holmes in our cover story. The clothes, and the moments that those clothes create, are so important to the storyline, they’re almost like characters in themselves—and produce that certain je ne sais quoi that makes Emily so irresistible.
