You may have noticed that your hair has felt different in recent years compared to how it used to. It\u2019s becoming finer, looks less full, feels drier or suddenly reacts differently to products you\u2019ve been using for years. Your scalp may also become more sensitive, and grey hair can sometimes take on a different texture. This is perfectly normal: your hair changes as you do.<\/p>\n
That doesn\u2019t mean you need a complicated hair care routine. The most important thing is to reassess what your hair and scalp need right now. In this article, we explain which changes are common and how you can adapt your natural hair care routine accordingly.<\/p>\n
The characteristics of your hair are determined, amongst other things, by the hair follicles in the scalp. Over time, hair can become thinner and the growth cycle can change. Sebum production in the scalp can also decrease, which can make the hair and scalp feel drier.<\/p>\n
In addition, the hair gradually loses its pigment. This results in grey, silver or white hairs. Grey hair can feel different to pigmented hair. For some people, it becomes coarser or drier, whilst for others it becomes finer and softer.<\/p>\n
Not everyone experiences the same changes. So don\u2019t just look at your age; focus instead on what you notice about your hair and scalp.<\/p>\n
Many people find that their hair feels less strong or full. Fine hair is easily weighed down by rich conditioners, oils and heavy styling products. As a result, it can look limp or greasy again shortly after washing.<\/p>\n
If you have fine hair, choose a gentle shampoo and a light conditioner. Apply the conditioner mainly to the lengths and ends, and don\u2019t use more product than is necessary. A small amount is often enough.<\/p>\n
The scalp also deserves some attention. A scalp tonic or serum can form part of your hair care routine. Don\u2019t expect a miracle cure that will make new hair grow, but choose products that help to look after your scalp and your existing hair properly.<\/p>\n

A deep-cleansing shampoo can dry out dry or coarse hair even further.<\/p>\n You should therefore use a mild shampoo and apply a conditioner after washing. If your hair needs extra care, you can use a hair mask regularly. A leave-in conditioner or a small amount of hair oil can help to make dry ends softer and more manageable.<\/p>\n Do you have hair that is both fine and dry? If so, don\u2019t automatically opt for the richest products. A light conditioner or leave-in treatment can provide enough care without weighing your hair down.<\/p>\n Discover our natural products for dry hair<\/a>.<\/p>\n A shampoo that you\u2019ve enjoyed using for years may eventually start to feel too harsh. Your scalp may become drier, tighter or more sensitive. Sometimes, your scalp may also react more strongly to fragrance or to using a combination of many different products.<\/p>\n In that case, keep your routine simple. Start with a mild shampoo and only add a scalp serum or tonic later, if necessary. If you change several products at once, it\u2019s harder to tell which ones your scalp reacts well to and which ones it doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n Your scalp and the lengths of your hair may have different needs. For example, you could combine a mild shampoo for a sensitive scalp with a nourishing conditioner for dry ends.<\/p>\n Take a look at our care for a sensitive scalp<\/a>.<\/p>\n Of course, there\u2019s no need to hide grey hair. In fact, grey, silver or white hair can be very striking. However, grey hair can react differently to hair care products and styling.<\/p>\n Some grey hairs are a bit coarser, drier or frizzier. Other people, on the other hand, find that their grey hair becomes finer. You should therefore tailor your hair care routine to both the colour and the texture of your hair.<\/p>\n If you have dry, grey hair, use a nourishing conditioner or apply a hair mask regularly. If your grey hair is fine, opt for lighter products. Specialised care products for blonde, grey and white hair can help keep your hair looking bright and well-cared-for.<\/p>\n Take a look at our selection natural care for grey hair<\/a>.<\/p>\n Not everyone wants to let their grey hair grow out completely. Perhaps you just want to cover up visible roots or keep your natural hair colour for longer. There are both temporary and longer-lasting solutions available for this.<\/p>\n Hair mascara allows you to conceal grey hairs and roots in specific areas. You simply apply the product where needed. The result is temporary and washes out when you wash your hair.<\/p>\n This is handy between two colour treatments, for a special occasion, or if you\u2019re still not sure whether you want to colour your hair.<\/p>\n Take a look at our natural hair mascara for grey roots<\/a>.<\/p>\n Plant-based hair colouring allows you to colour grey hair and roots for a longer-lasting result. Plant-based hair colouring consists of colouring plant powders that adhere to the hair. Your natural hair colour continues to influence the final result.<\/p>\n The result depends, amongst other things, on your natural hair colour, the percentage of grey hair, the shade you choose and any previous colour treatments. The same herbal hair dye may therefore produce different results on different people.<\/p>\n Before colouring your hair, always read the product information and, if in doubt, test the colour on a small section first. This will allow you to see in advance how the colour will look on your hair.<\/p>\nYour hair is becoming drier or coarser<\/h2>\n
