HAIR SALON FOUNDER REDEFINING AGE-APPROPRIATE BEAUTY IN YOUR FORTIES
Season 8 Episode 7
💇‍♀️“Your hair isn’t just about style; it’s deeply connected to identity, confidence, and the season of life you’re in.”
In this insightful episode of The Forties Formula podcast, hosts Jasmin Dhillon and Amanda Lim sit down with TONI OVENDEN , a seasoned hair expert, educator and Founder of Love Hair HK & SG, to unpack the powerful relationship between hair, hormones, life transitions, and self-expression in your 40s and beyond.
We explore why big life moments like breakups, pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause often trigger the urge for drastic hair changes, and when those changes help versus when they hurt. Tony breaks down the science behind hair loss, shedding cycles, postpartum regrowth, and scalp health, while offering grounded advice on how to decide if a transformation is intentional or purely emotional. The conversation also dives into generational beauty trends, confidence, and why working with your hair’s natural patterns matters more than chasing what’s trending.
Tune in to learn how to make hair choices that support your real life, protect your confidence, and evolve with you, not against you. This episode is a must-listen for women who want their hair to feel aligned, healthy, and empowering in this decade and beyond.
Together, they break down:
• Why “age-appropriate” hair is a thing of the past and how personalized choices boost confidence
• How hormones, stress, lifestyle, and climate influence texture, shedding, and frizz
In midlife, hair often becomes a canvas where life’s changes are visibly reflected. Yet, the key to embracing hair in this season of life lies not in following trends or rigid rules but in understanding, caring for, and celebrating what works best for each individual.
