"Expert Advice: Hair Care Tips for Aging Gracefully"

Dr. Jennifer Ashton, ABC News chief medical correspondent, shares hair care tips for women across different decades of life. In their 20s and 30s, women should rest their hair and avoid over-styling, including excessive heat, coloring, and tight ponytails. In their 40s and 50s, women should focus on nutrition, including protein, zinc, and folic acid, and practice protective hair styling. During perimenopause and menopause, hair may become thinner and more delicate, so a comprehensive approach to hair care is recommended. In their 60s and beyond, women should be gentle with their hair and explore different styles, such as hats, scarves, or wigs.
