Have you ever had a good hair day that made you feel like you could conquer the world? Where you catch your reflection and think, “Yes! I’ve still got it!” I LIVE for those moments. But if you’re anything like me, they seem to be fewer and farther between as we get older.

Lovelies, you know that I believe true beauty shines from within, sparkling through the laugh lines earned by a life well lived. But I also know that external polish can affect how others perceive us, fairly or not. So let’s talk about an easy way to refine the packaging to match your inner sparkle-a fresh cut!

The formula for a youthful look

I’ve seen it all too often – a goddess dressed to impress, but sadly stuck in a hairstyle from decades past that detracts from her light. But you don’t have to splurge on the trendiest outfit to upgrade your look! Just make time for a shapely new chop.

My dears, the math is clear-while inner light defines true beauty, outer polish can help our essence shine through. So let me break down the formula for channeling youthful vitality at any age:

Young Look = Trendy Outfit + Modern Haircut + Blissful Smile

Trust me, a flattering, modern hairstyle does wonders to turn back the clock while complementing the graceful maturity you’ve earned.

But even more important is the health of your hair. How lustrous and thick it is. And before we do any drastic cutting or coloring, we should nurture those strands back to health, shall we?

Maybe you also feel the same as I did…

No way! I’m too young for this, right?

Do your eyes ever mist up when you come across an old picture of yourself with thick, flowing hair? I have albums full of my shiny mahogany locks catching the sunlight, not a silver strand in sight.

My hair was soooo gorgeous back then, and I din’t appreciate it, I just took it for granted…

But then life took its toll. All those babies then kids, thousands of responsibilities, stress… And before I knew it, the confident woman with bouncy hair was replaced by a frazzled mess desperately hiding her roots.

No way! I’m too young for this, right?

But I’m not the only one, am I? As life speeds up, our precious hair suffers, doesn’t it, ladies?

Secret for beautiful hair after 40

We obsess over expensive serums and treatments hoping for the magic fix, right? Tell me honestly how much hundreds have you already spent for “special hair care”? Have you see results? For how long???

But in reality we neglect the basics of self-care. And it’s always about SYNERGIE of 3 most important spheres: nutrition, natural care and movement. Only combined they give us those magical results!

The secret to healthy and shiny hair (especially after 40) is ONLY the combination of these:

• The Right Nutrition – targeted nutrient-rich foods nourish hair from the inside out for that unparalleled shine. And if you want an extra boost to get your locks back to their healthiest, consider adding a hair supplement with targeted vitamins and nutrients to see and feel the results really fast.
• The Right Hair Care – the ideal gentle, natural cleansers that won’t dry out delicate, mature strands, or special massages with nourishing oils.
• The Right Movement – yes, don’t be surprised, but the right poses can rejuvenate your hair (and skin, too) from the inside out! That’s because they improve blood and lymph flow, which leads to increased renewal of your hair and skin.
