Supporting Hair Through Midlife with Aveda

Hayley Hughes, National Education Manager for Aveda, discusses the importance of maintaining scalp health in midlife.

Midlife Changes

As we move through different stages of life, it's completely natural for our hair to change. During midlife, many people notice their hair feels finer, has less volume, or sheds more than it used to. Hormonal changes, stress, lifestyle and ageing can all contribute to these changes. While we can't always prevent these changes, we can support healthier-looking hair by starting with the right haircare routine.

One of the biggest shifts in haircare over recent years has been recognising the importance of scalp health. Just as healthy soil helps a garden flourish, a healthy scalp provides the ideal foundation for healthy-looking hair.

That's why I always encourage guests to think of scalp care as skincare for your hair.

Build a Healthy Foundation

The Aveda Scalp Solutions Balancing Shampoo and Replenishing Conditioner are the perfect place to start. Together, they gently cleanse away excess oil, impurities and product build-up, while helping to maintain the scalp's natural barrier and leaving hair feeling soft, healthy and balanced.

A healthy scalp creates the best environment for healthy-looking hair, making these products an excellent everyday routine for anyone wanting to care for their scalp, whatever their hair type.

 

Target Thinning Hair at the Source

If you're noticing that your hair feels finer or less dense than it once did, the Invati Ultra Advanced Revitalizing Scalp Serum is a brilliant next step.

Designed specifically for thinning hair, it's powered by Aveda's Triple-Action Follicle Vitality Complex, featuring eclipta, alpinia and ginger. This innovative blend helps invigorate the scalp, protect against everyday environmental stressors and support the ideal environment for healthy-looking hair.

The lightweight serum absorbs quickly and is easy to incorporate into your daily routine. Used as part of the complete Invati Ultra Advanced system, it helps reduce hair fall due to breakage, and helps hair look stronger and healthier over time.

Instant Confidence with Fuller-Looking Hair

For anyone wanting an immediate boost in fullness, I love finishing with the Invati Ultra Advanced Thickening Foam.

This lightweight styling foam can help to thicken the look of hair by creating natural-looking body and volume without stiffness or stickiness. It also helps reinforce fragile hair, protects during blow-drying and reduces frizz, making it the perfect styling partner for fine or thinning hair.

It's one of those products that delivers instant confidence - you can see and feel the difference from the very first use.

 Healthy Hair Starts with Healthy Habits

Looking after your hair during midlife doesn't need to be complicated. By caring for your scalp, choosing targeted treatments and using styling products that enhance volume while protecting the hair, you can help your hair look and feel its very best every day.

At Aveda, we believe beautiful hair begins with healthy hair. By combining nature-powered ingredients with high-performance innovation, we're proud to help people care for their hair with confidence at every stage of life.
