There are three things that are important: the “glossy”, “fluffy” and “refreshing” feeling of your hair!

gloss

Hair becomes easier to dry with age and tends to become dry. Just make your hair shiny and look youthful.

Fluffy feeling

The point is the part and the back of the head. When the hair here stands up softly, it gives a lively and energetic impression.

Refreshing feeling

A messy or curly hair gives a dark and tired impression. A clean look will make your face look brighter.

 “Like your skin, your scalp changes with age,” says beautician Chiharu. In addition to weakening the muscles that raise the hair, the pores widen in an elliptical shape, making the hair wavy and dry.

“That’s why it’s important to have volume and luster for the Halmek generation over the age of 50. It’s important to make your hair look neat and clean, even if your complexion is dull,” says writer Tomomi Sato.

Furthermore, according to Minako Yokomori, “The ideal is a ‘rhombus silhouette’ with a soft top of the head and a clean face. If you have nice hair, you can look stylish no matter what you wear.”

Youthful and youthful in one step! 1 minute styling before going out

If you want to style your hair, be sure to use a styling agent before going out. It makes it easier to shape and gives it a glossy look. After that, if you are conscious of “fluffy feeling” and “clean feeling”, you can make your hair look like you just got back from the beauty salon just by arranging it quickly. Three professionals gave us styling tips that can be done in just one minute before going out.

[1 minute styling 1] Parting on the opposite side makes the hair stand up softly

“People who have parted their hair in the same position for many years have a habit of laying their hair flat at the part. (Mr. Chiharu)

[1 minute styling 2] Styling agent does not flatten when applied from the ends

“If you put it on the surface of your hair, it will stick too much and make it flat with weight. Apply it to the palm of your hand, then the ends of the hair, the inside of the hair, and the excess on the surface, in that order. Wax, mousse, etc., depends on your hair type. And it depends on the hairstyle, so please consult with a hairdresser.” (Chiharu)

[1 minute styling 3] Raise the area around the whorl with a hair dryer to increase volume

“Hold the hair around the whorl, lightly pull it vertically and apply warm air to the roots for 20 seconds. Apply cold air for 20 seconds to fix the shape. We can keep it.” (Mr. Sato)

[1 minute styling 4] Zigzag parting makes it look bushy

“If the parting is straight, the skin will stand out like a footpath between rice fields, and the hair will look thin. Zigzag or pinch the hair strands and alternate left and right to hide the skin and make it look bushy.” (Mr. Sato) )

[1 minute styling 5] For sleeping habits, apply a hair dryer to the roots without getting it wet

“The point is to straighten the roots of the curly hair. It’s okay to leave the hair dry, so lightly pull it up and apply hot air to the roots for 20 seconds and cold air for 20 seconds. If that doesn’t work, wet the roots and use a towel. Wipe it off and apply a hair dryer in the same way.” (Mr. Sato)

[1 minute styling 6] Use a keep spray to fix fine frizzy hair

“Dry hair is prone to breakage, and short hair tends to hang on the surface of the hair. It will look sloppy as it is, so spray some hairspray on the handle of the comb and gently stroke it. (Mr. Chiharu)

[1 minute styling 7] After tying your hair, you can see the shape of your head by pulling out the hair bundle at the back of the head.

“If you leave it tied, the back of the head will look like a cliff. While holding down the elastic part, pinch the hair at the back of the head and lightly pull it out to create a three-dimensional effect. I recommend something that has a glittery feel to it.” (Chiharu)

[1 minute styling 8] Reduce frizz with hair oil on rainy days

“On humid days, the moisture in the air moves in and out of the hair, which breaks the bonds in the hair cells and makes them easier to swell. This phenomenon can be prevented by coating the surface of the hair.” (Mr. Sato)

[1 minute styling 9] When you press the bee, the top will naturally lift

“If you lightly press the left and right bees (the protruding part between the top of the head and the ears) and lift the top, it will be easier to create a diamond-shaped silhouette. Let’s hold the bees, not the bees.” (Mr. Sato)

[1 minute styling 10] The correct answer is not a brush but a hand comb! The final check is a full-length mirror

“Hair with a moderate amount of movement looks more natural and modern than ‘uniform hair.’ Instead of using a brush or comb, straighten your hair roughly with your hands. The correct answer is to look at it.” (Mr. Yokomori)

Reader model also challenges styling for 1 minute!

Three reader models, Terumi Naito, Michie Kaizaki, and Shizuko Oyama, take Minako Yokomori’s advice and challenge styling for one minute! What changes can you see before and after styling?

Sweep your bangs diagonally to make your face look slimmer

“When Mr. Naito has all his bangs down, it looks like he is wearing a black helmet and looks heavy. It looks small.”

Wear one over your ear if you want it to look sharp

“People’s eyes feel sharper when things are asymmetrical. Mr. Naito also divides the face into 2:8 ratios and puts one side in tight, just like this. The jaw line looks so beautiful.”

Hair that has not grown out is blown out to give a light impression

“For hair that is starting to grow like Mr. Kaizaki’s, it doesn’t look too heavy if you move the ends of your hair rather than tying it up neatly. Lightly curl outward.”

Contouring makes your face look slimmer and smaller

“Mr. Oyama looks so neat just by tying her long hair. However, if you tie your hair carelessly, it will give you a sense of life. , looks fashionable

You can see that all three of them look great after styling with a little effort.

Daily 3-step care for a glossy look

The important thing is to keep not only the hair itself, but also the moisture of the scalp. If you regain the cycle that grows glossy and healthy hair, you will also get rid of the swell caused by dryness. Change your hair quality to make your styling look even better with daily 3-step care.

[Step 1: Wash] Set the shower temperature to 38°C to prevent the scalp from drying out.

Just like washing dishes with hot water can dry out your hands, it can also dry out your scalp. When washing your hair, keep the temperature of the shower low enough to avoid catching a cold. It is also recommended to use a moisturizing shampoo.

[Step 2: Dry] Apply the dryer downward to prepare the cuticle

The cuticle of wet hair is easy to come off, and if left alone, it will become dry. Dry it with a hair dryer immediately after taking a bath. If you apply it downward without going against the overlapping direction of the cuticles, you will get a glossy look.

[Step 3: Moisturize] Moisturize daily with scalp lotion after age 50

When you become the Halmek generation, you need moisturizing care for your scalp, just like applying lotion to your face. Apply lotion after shampooing and before drying. If you massage your scalp with your fingers to improve blood circulation, the moisturizing effect will be further improved.
