Anyone else developed poseable hair in their 40s? I look like a troll doll :-/

I used to have lovely soft, mobile hair, although it always tangled easily. Now I wake up in the morning and it's literally starburst out from my head like Doc from bloody Back to the Future! It's worse at the front where it's starting to go grey and coarser. This morning there was a shock of hair standing completely upright from my forehead Sad

Is there anything that can be done to restore the texture? Is this it now? It's thinning as well, quite noticeably in places.

Laughing sorry OP. Mine is getting thinner and more and more limp and just untidy looking.

I'm relating to all these posts.
Fuck knows what my hair thinks it's doing one day to the next, but the common theme is that it looks so shit. Like I've brushed it with a balloon.
I'm seriously thinking about rocking the Queenie headscarf look, the kind you tie under your chin. It'll hide my crepey gizzard neck too.

For me the key has been a ghd glide hot brush, its amazing I wish Id had one years ago. I also use the 8 second stuff but that only works if I also hot brush my hair. I also rate the John Frieda Frizz-Ease Miraculous Recovery Intensive Masque, I use it most days as a conditioner and then the 8 second water at the end, dry my hair quickly with blow dryer, comb put knots and then a few sweeps with the hot brush to finish. Then my peri meno frizz looks sleek and swishy. I dont bother every day!
