As women age, they gain more confidence, experience, and charm, but their bodies (and hair!) start to require a little more care. After their 30s, many women notice changes like thinning hair, loss of volume, and of course, the appearance of gray hair.

It's not the end of the world, it's just a new phase that requires a smarter routine. For this reason, hair care experts share 5 top tips:

1. Start from the inside: nutrition directly affects hair

After your 30s, hair can become more brittle, which is why what you eat matters more than ever. Experts recommend a diet rich in protein, healthy carbohydrates, and micronutrients like zinc, selenium, B vitamins, D, and magnesium.

If you suspect a vitamin deficiency, consult your doctor before starting supplements. Many women think biotin is the answer to every hair problem, but the truth is that too much can hurt, not help.

2. Be careful with heat appliances and how you use them

Heat styling (like curling irons and blow dryers) can damage your hair's structure over time. Experts say you should replace your equipment every 5 years, as older equipment often loses temperature control and burns your hair.

3. Don't get emotionally attached to a shampoo

The shampoo and conditioner you used in your 20s are no longer necessarily the right choice after your 30s. Hair can become thinner or drier, so products need to be adapted to its current condition.

4. Adapt other products as needed

In addition to shampoo, you should also review products like heat protectant spray, volumizing spray, or styling products. What worked in your early 30s may not work now.

Experts say, "You may need to add volume products or change your routine completely. Don't be afraid to try something new."

5. Don't put off getting a haircut – long hair makes thinning more noticeable

Even after your 30s, regular haircuts are essential. Long, shapeless, damaged hair makes the changes that come with age more apparent, especially if you're experiencing thinning.

Experts advise: "Don't obsess over long hair if you have sparse hair. Shorter cuts make hair look fuller, stronger, and healthier."
