Want more hair - or at least to keep more of what you have? Then turn down the heat.

Want more hair - or at least to keep more of what you have? Then turn down the heat.

 

As we age our scalp, like the rest of our skin, tends to lose its plumpness and become less firm. That makes it tougher for it to support the root of the hair, resulting in more hair fall.

What to do? Simon says:

"Just as you no longer use really hot water on your face, you should avoid it on your scalp, too. Try turning down the water temperature a notch or two when shampooing (you need a certain amount of heat to rinse away dirt and oil but avoid hot water). Better still, try rinsing your hair with cool to tepid water. That’ll give your scalp’s blood supply a bit of a boost and there’s an added benefit: cooler water helps keep hair strands nice and smooth, whereas hot water causes it to flare open and become frizzy. You'll find it easier to manage, too."

So, go cooler for a healthier scalp and shinier hair - and we won’t even mention the money you’ll save on your hot water bill!
