Keep Your Hair Lush in Retirement 5 Tips for Good Hair Health as You Age

If your hair stylist has a quote on the wall, odds are good it’s this one: “Invest in your hair. It’s the crown you never take off.” No one knows for sure who came up with that saying, but the older we get, the more truth there is to it. It takes time and energy to prevent a lush head of hair from turning into a sparse one. Everyone’s hair thins, lightens, and gets brittle with age. It’s a sign of a long-lived life and nothing to be ashamed of. That said, there’s no reason to lose your hair before your time! Here are five strategies to keep your crown shining as long as genetics allow. 1. Never skip the protein. According to the Cleveland Clinic, your hair is made almost entirely of protein, and it will suffer when you don’t eat enough! Dermatologist Wilma Bergfeld recommends eating low-fat red meat a few times a week for hair health, but you can also get protein from plant-based sources like tofu, lentils, and chickpeas.

products without parabens, phthalates, sulfates, alcohol, or silicones. (Healthline.com has a great guide for this!) You should also buy products made for your hair type, whether that’s oily or dry, coiled or curled. Finally, avoid dying your hair at home or regularly styling it with heat. Both things will damage your locks! 3. Avoid crash diets. When you lose a lot of weight at once, you can shock your body and either slow your hair’s growth or cause it to fall out! To avoid this, aim for a slow, sustainable weight loss instead. 4. Be gentle with your locks. To keep your hair looking its best, swap your brush for a wide-tooth comb, always be gentle with tangles, and if you have longer locks, avoid styling them in tight buns, braids, or ponytails. High-tension styles can damage your hair. 5. Reduce your stress. It sounds like a cliche, but the healthier you are, the healthier your hair will be! To boost your health, try minimizing the stress in your life with regular exercise, outdoor activities, meditation, and plenty of sleep.

2. Choose natural products that are tailored to your hair type. When you’re shopping for shampoo and conditioner, look for

JAXPAL TOY DRIVE

This year, in our efforts to spread holiday cheer, Wolf Retirement Navigation will be hosting a Christmas party for some really awesome kids on Thursday, December 16, 2021, at the JaxPAL Westside location. Back by popular request, we are organizing a toy drive to ensure that all the children have a Christmas they will cherish and remember for many years to follow. Seeing their smiles as they open their gifts is one of our greatest and most rewarding moments during the season of celebration. Their ages range from 5 years old to 12 years old. There are several ways you can help to brighten this year’s Christmas for the kids. One way is to purchase a handmade one-of-a-kind ornament, crafted by Robin’s father, for you to enjoy on your very own Christmas tree or that of a friend or family member (available to purchase at both our offices in addition to our December 9, 2021 Client Christmas Party). Proceeds from the sale of the ornaments will contribute towards gift purchases for the children.

Of course, you can always contribute to the Christmas fund with a monetary donation. If you prefer, you can choose a new, unopened item to wrap and bring to the Client Christmas Party or bring to either our Jacksonville office or our Clay County office. We ask that all gifts, no matter which one you may choose to give, be with us no later than Monday, December 13, 2021 . That will ensure our having your generous donations in hand for the kids’ party on Thursday, December 16, 2021. Thank you so very much for helping to make this season of giving a memorable and special season for these deserving kids and a reminder that they are loved by so many!
