3 Ways to Get Younger-Looking Hair

Lovely locks involve only a few tweaks to your everyday routine. Here’s how:

1. Eat Iron-Rich Foods

“Iron is essential for transporting oxygen to the hair root,” says Sydney-based trichologist Geoffrey Mahanay. “Hair grows at a fast rate, which requires a good supply of oxygen for thickness and volume.” An iron-rich diet doesn’t regrow hair that you’ve lost due to genetic causes, but it can maintain a thicker, more youthful-looking mane.  Try eating lean beef, mussels and octopus.

2. Embrace Your Texture

Healthy, natural curls look younger than starched-straight straw-like strands, while shiny, straight locks look better than artificial curls. The moral of the story: natural is beautiful.

3. Wash Less—and Cut More

Shampoo (even the good stuff) dries out your hair, so limit yourself to three washes a week. And get a trim every six to eight weeks to remove the dull, dry tips that age you. “Trimming the ends keeps hair looking well-groomed and healthy,” says Mahanay. (Adapted by Jessy Pearl)
