Hair care Questions

Grey Hair

Question

Are there any special precautions we should take for grey hair, and any special products we should use? What about colouring grey hair for men and women?

Answer

Unfortunately there is no prevention of going grey. Nature will take its course. However L-Tyrosine does help melanin production and some say that this can help. We are lucky enough to have many professional options for colouring hair from temporary sprays and mousses to colours that are permanent. So there is no need to ever feel uncomfortable about having grey hair.

Can you suggest any products that contain L-Tyrosine? L-tyrosine as a supplement that should be available at any health food store.

Question

My biggest question about hair care is why grey hair does not hold curls very long. What can we do to keep it soft and what are the very best products to use. I have started using Pantene for people of colour. Do you think it is okay?

Answer

In my opinion Pantene is not a good choice, most over the counter products contain artificial softeners, which in turn strip your hair of moisture. They also cause product build up, which will prevent moisture from penetrating into your hair. Curls need moisture in order for them to hold their shape. Use products made specifically for adding moisture such as Razzamatazz. As we mature our hair changes texture and has a lower moisture content, making it all the more important to use good moisturizing hair products.

Can you suggest a product? Or is the product razzamatazz I’ll include the URL Razzamatazz Moisture jellee is great for defining and holding curls, use along with the moisture loc shampoo and micoplex conditioner.
