We often think of hair as a luxury, especially after COVID turned salon visits into rare treats. During that time, a lot of us got used to skipping trims, letting roots grow out, and putting hair care on the back burner. And yes, with financial stresses and shifting priorities, hair really did start to feel like an “extra” rather than a necessity.

But here’s the thing: your hair is one of the first things people notice. It frames your face, it expresses your style, and it can even influence how youthful you feel at any age. In a world where facelifts and anti-aging trends are everywhere, I always tell people: one of the simplest ways to look and feel vibrant is to maintain healthy hair.

Think about it, when you see a mature woman who looks absolutely stunning, what do you notice? It’s that gorgeous, thick, well-kept hair maybe it’s a beautiful silver blowout or just a neatly styled look. You don’t focus on wrinkles; you see that healthy hair, the confidence, the lipstick, and how put-together they are.

So here’s the reminder: having a good relationship with your hair isn’t vanity; it’s a form of self-care and self-expression. It’s something that helps you show up in the world feeling your best. Let’s not neglect it.
