How can my mother's hair get healthy again?
I don't know if it's just happened because of old age..
My mother is about 53 or so and she has veryyyy thin and wirey hair
Every day: She shampoos and conditions her hair, and then continues to style it by blow-drying it and straightening only her bangs, she wears it up each day with a fabric scrunchie as a part of her uniform for work and uses a compressed-air hairspray..
Also, she dyes it blonde about once a month and goes for regular trims.
She has reached menopause, is this related?
Also, she said that dyeing her hair makes it thicker? Which I don't understand because any chemicals in it are never good..
How can her hair regain it's vitality, shine, bounce, etc. and become it's healthiest? Are there haircuts best fit for this type of thing?
Well you're right, after menopause hair does go through changes. However, was her hair always wirey? When was the last time she got her thyroid hormones checked, that is another cause of thinning dry hair.
From personal experience I have found that vitamins made specifically for hair growth helps to make hair thicker, shinier and grow faster, however this takes time to show a change (if any) because the only change seen will be on the new hair growth so you have to wait a while to see a change.
Does your mom wear her scrunchy really tight? Wearing your hair in tight ponytails can also cause hair loss. She should try using a silk scrunchy which will minimize hair breakage, and also she should loosen her ponytail if she does tie it too tight.
Also about haircuts I watch the show "what not to wear" a lot and usually if someone has thin hair the hairdresser (Nick) cuts the hair short, like a bob or even shorter. This adds fullness to the hair because the hair becomes lighter and not as weighed down. Its also easier to add body to shorter hair than it is on long hair - body makes hair look fuller. She can talk to her hair dresser about deep conditioning treatments to get her hair to look its best and maybe even hair glossing treatment that boosts shine.
I hope I've helped, best of luck to you!
