Things I Choose
The products, practices, and everyday things that have earned a place in my life
I’m often asked about the products I use, how I care for my silver hair, and the habits that help me feel strong and healthy. This is where I’ll share the things that have genuinely earned a place in my life—not because they promise to make us younger, but because they help us take good care of the women we are today.
Caring for My Silver
My silver hair has taught me that more isn’t always better. Because my hair is long, coarse and thick, I wash and condition it about once a week. Giving my scalp’s natural oils time to work through my hair helps me maintain moisture and avoid over-drying strands that can already be more prone to brittleness and breakage.
Most weeks, I let my hair air-dry and keep heat styling to a minimum—usually once a week. Maybe twice if a last-minute date night comes along. 😉
I’ve also become much more intentional about the products I use. Better Not Younger is the haircare line that has earned a place in my routine, and these are three products I reach for regularly.
Silver Lining
Purple Brightening Shampoo
I wash my hair about once a week, and this is the shampoo I reach for to keep my silver looking bright. The purple formula helps neutralize the yellow and brassy tones that can show up in gray hair, while still feeling gentle on my coarse strands. I like that it’s sulfate-free, and because I wash so infrequently, I want that one wash to leave my hair feeling clean without feeling stripped.
Silver Lining
Purple Butter Masque
I use this in place of a traditional conditioner after shampooing. My long, coarse hair needs moisture, and this rich masque gives it the extra conditioning it needs while helping keep my silver bright. I especially like how soft and manageable my hair feels afterward without feeling weighed down. Since I only wash my hair about once a week, this has become part of that weekly routine.
No Remorse
Heat Protection & Taming Spray
I use this after every wash, whether I plan to heat style my hair or not. For my hair, it works almost like a leave-in conditioner, helping tame frizz and leaving my coarse silver strands feeling softer and more manageable. With argan oil, avocado oil, and vitamin E, it has become something I reach for every single week.
