Factors that have caused my hair to lose its shape since I turned 40s 1The hairline is gradually receding, the shape of the hairline is changing, and the forehead area is expanding
Although the progression of thinning hair varies from person to person, many people in their 40s experience a gradual receding of their front hairline. Some may look in the mirror and say, “Hey, did I have such a wide forehead? but in some cases, the change may not be noticeable unless the change is extreme. The change in the shape of the hairline can often make it difficult to achieve the same hair style as before. In my case, the thinning of the hair around my temples has widened the distance from temple to temple, and when I set my hair in a completely backward style, my naturally basal face line and broad forehead are completely exposed, making it extremely awkward. The hair was set in a way that the temples were hidden by the bangs in a so-called “antennae” style , which was a considerable improvement. To compensate for the vertical recession of the hairline and the expansion of the forehead area that accompanies the horizontal recession of the hairline, it is advisable to set the hair in such a way as to reduce the forehead area. However, men in their 40s may find it difficult to wear moushed hair with the bangs down, so we recommend the hairstyle and styling shown in the image below.
Factors that have caused my hair to lose its style since I entered my 40s 2Hair volume on the top of the head has decreased and top volume is down
One thing that is hard to notice is the loss of volume at the top of the head. As an editor, I have many opportunities to talk with various hair and makeup artists and hairdressers, and I often hear that when the hair on top thins and volume is lost, the options for hairstyles are limited. What I mean is that the volume on the sides needs to be thinned to balance the volume on the top, and short two-block, fade style, soft Mohawk style, or belly-short hairstyle would be suitable, but naturally they do not suit my large face and base type (I cry). I would like to propose a method to approach the volume of hair. It is very possible to consider AGA treatment before the hair follicles completely die. The basic idea is to use finasteride, as typified by Propecia, as the mainstay of treatment, and to optionally consider applying minoxidil to the scalp as needed. Incidentally, I have purchased finasteride tablets and minoxidil spray from Shonan Cosmetic Surgery, and have experienced positive results. If you want to volumize your hair more easily, I recommend choosing a shampoo and conditioner that can provide that kind of effect. I use Success RESIL Re-Bounce Conditioner by Kao, which makes my hair fluffy and gives it a natural bounce when I dry it with a hair dryer, so why not give it a try?
3 reasons why my hair style is not so good after I reached my 40sStraight hair becomes habitual hair! The tendency of my hair to become habitual is getting stronger.
After I reached my 40s, I started to think “Oh, I didn’t know I had such habitual hair…” and my hair texture changed. Many of you may have noticed a change in your hair texture since you turned 40s. There are various theories as to why hair becomes wavy with age, but the main causes are a decrease in scalp oil mass and moisture retention, which causes the scalp to sag and pores to become distorted, and a decrease in the elasticity of the cortex and cuticle of the hair. Effective countermeasures include scalp massage and the use of shampoos that are less harsh on the hair and scalp. In my case, the hair on my neckline started to curl outward, but while the above measures have made it much better, it does not mean that the habit has completely disappeared. I explained to the hairdresser at my favorite hair salon that I was so fed up with the outward curling of my hair at the collar, and she cut my hair at the collar to make it less prone to the habit, and then added the process of using a hair iron to straighten the habit.
Factor 4: Hair style is not as sharp in my 40sCenter of gravity of face lowers and face shape changes to square
The last factor I would like to mention is the change in the silhouette of the face. As the face line sags with age and volume drops to the bottom of the face, the originally round or egg-shaped face tends to become more square. When this happens, hairstyles that used to look good on the face tend to not look good at all. In addition to resisting this trend through facial muscle training and massages, we also need to be careful about obesity. In my case, as mentioned above, I was born with a large face and am aware that I carry the handicap of having a base type, so I am very concerned about my facial line. To make it look as good as possible, I try to eat a healthy and balanced diet and limit my drinking to once a week. In addition, he goes to the gym three times a week. In addition, by going to the gym three times a week and making sure he gets enough sleep, he just barely manages to keep himself looking good with the haircut he wants.
