Madison Reed non-toxic hair color products – Some Baby Boomer women have bitten the bullet, gone gray and look gorgeous. The rest of us color our hair every 6-12 weeks. That usually means glopping harsh toxic chemicals on our heads. Madison Reed has developed a fantastic line of non-toxic hair color, root touch up kits, and color reviving gloss that keeps your hair soft and gives it gorgeous luster. What I love is that you can keep your hair looking fabulous between color treatments simply by brushing on its root touchup kit that you can also use to fill in your eyebrows or their wonderful color reviving gloss.

Thinning hair products for mature women

Cerafill by Redken – A while back I had the opportunity to try out Redken’s Cerafill products for thinning hair. My hair was ending up in my brush every time I used it.

I recommend it if your hair is falling out or getting thinner as you age. Review Here.
