Brooke Shields celebrates 60th birthday in bikini on the beach
Brooke Shields is proving age is just a number with new social media posts. The "Mother of the Bride" star took to Instagram over the weekend to celebrate her 60th birthday with photos of her lounging on the beach in her bikini. "Woke up today in paradise… and in a new decade of life! This is 6️⃣0️⃣! Thank you for all of the birthday love," she captioned the post. The photos featured Shields sitting in a hammock on the shore in a black bikini, which she accessorized with a sun hat and a chunky gold chain choker and sand-covered feet. Her famous friends quickly flooded the comments sections with well-wishes, with Christie Brinkley writing "Happy Birthday Beauty 60 looks GREAT on you," and Ricki Lake adding, "Yes Queen! Happy milestone Birthday!" In a separate Instagram post, shared on the account of her haircare brand, Commence, Shields spelled out "propaganda we're not falling for" anymore, writing in the caption, "We're not making any more time for nonsense." "That 60 means slowing down. That change is only for your twenties," the list written on the screen said. "That it's too late to learn something new. That my best days are in the rearview. That women 'of a certain age' aren't a force to be reckoned with. That I don't deserve products made specifically for me. That not every day can be a good hair day." "Woke up today in paradise… and in a new decade of life! This is 6️⃣0️⃣! Thank you for all of the birthday love." Shields is no stranger to sharing bikini photos. The star took to Instagram in April, to share photos from her time in the Bahamas, in which she posed on the beach in a black and white bikini. Having started her career at a young age, Shields has often spoken out about how difficult it was to grow up in the spotlight, telling AARP The Magazine in March 2024 she felt as if beauty "was a burden and a responsibility," but that now it "means freedom." "The 'Pretty Baby' documentary definitely empowered me," she explained. "I had never seen my life in its entirety. It made me feel very proud of my resilience and that little girl. I would be shocked as a kid to know that there would come a time that I would feel like I was enough. I would be shocked if I knew that I would one day really be confident and like myself." The 2023 documentary, "Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields," chronicled the actress' life as a sexualized young actress and model, "to a woman who embraces her identity and voice," according to the description on Hulu. When speaking with AARP The Magazine, she explained she has grown accustomed to hearing other people's opinions about her appearance, saying "it's an affront to people if Brooke Shields gets older." "You can't grow up, you cannot age. It's disappointing to them that I don't have the same face I had when I was 16," she said. "But it's been so liberating for me not to worry about it all the time. The pressure of being skinny is just so exhausting. I like food, and I like tequila!" She further discussed aging in Hollywood in her memoir, "Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old."

I'm struggling with thinning hair. I asked an expert what the best treatments are, plus 13 hair product recommendations
I never thought I would be Googling "why is my hair thinning?" in my late 20s. But a few months ago, I found myself scrolling through endless hair care TikToks and reading articles trying to figure out potential causes — and solutions. While it's normal to shed some hair daily, consistent hair thinning can be the result of underlying issues. And whatever the root cause, hair thinning can affect your mood, confidence and self-esteem. This article is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Contact a qualified medical professional before engaging in any physical activity, or making any changes to your diet, medication or lifestyle. For me, it was when I noticed I was parting my hair differently to cover up hair loss that led me to start digging deeper. I tested several products and chatted with Toronto-based dermatologist Dr. Renée Beach to get an expert's perspective. If you're also experiencing thinning hair, below, I break down causes, treatments and products that can make a difference. Jump to: What causes hair loss and thinning in women? Common types of hair thinning What are the most effective treatments for hair thinning? 13 best hair thinning solutions to shop in 2025 Best hair thinning solutions to shop in 2025: Leave-in treatments, shampoos and conditioners The truth is, there isn't one clear cut cause of hair thinning — but there are some common causes. "The top causes are androgenetic alopecia — female pattern hair loss — and telogen effluvium, a type of hair shedding where people see the white bulbs of the hair," says Beach. "It's estimated that androgenetic alopecia will affect about 40 to 50 per cent of women by their 40s, and that, at some point in their life, telogen effluvium will affect 70 per cent of women," she explains. Beach says telogen effluvium "can occur at a variety of ages" and can be triggered by a variety of events such as childbirth, bereavement, blood loss or low iron. It's easy to think hair thinning will start later in life, but it may just creep up earlier than expected, she continues. The location of thinning can say a lot about the underlying causes. These are the most common areas where you might initially notice thinning: Crown: This is the top of the head where one's scalp is more prominent. This is classic for androgenetic alopecia. Temples: You may spot recession here with both androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium. When it happens due to telogen effluvium, fine baby hairs will grow back. When it happens in androgenetic alopecia, the vertex (area behind the crown) will also eventually start to thin. Hairline: This can thin out with traction alopecia. There isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, but there are proven, science-backed treatments that can deliver results. One of the most well-studied and dermatologist-recommended treatments is minoxidil — which some may know as Rogaine or other similar brand names. "5% minoxidil in lotion or foam format has good evidence provided it is applied twice daily and used for 6 months," says Beach. But, once you start, it requires daily and on-going use — unless you're pregnant or breastfeeding. "This is the part that people find difficult to grasp — but just as how you would trim your nails weekly or go to the dentist semi-annually to maintain your teeth, retaining the hair means ongoing use of Rogaine [minoxidil] on some regular schedule," emphasizes Beach. "It's debatable what this schedule may be." One misconception is that you need to actually treat the hair. Beach says that's not exactly the case. "Hair itself is dead, it's the scalp that is alive," she explains. In order to have healthy hair, it all starts at the scalp. The right ingredients can make all the difference when it comes to supporting hair growth. Specific ingredients in hair treatments, shampoos and conditioners that you may want to look for include biotin for strengthening hair, caffeine to stimulate the scalp or saw palmetto to block hair thinning enzymes. But that said, "none of these would replace minoxidil 5 per cent," says Beach. If you're not ready to go with minoxidil yet, Beach suggests incorporating leave-in products with other key ingredients. "Oftentimes, leave on products will be more effective than something that is washed in and washed out," she says. Pumpkin seed Rosemary oil Caffeine Saw palmetto Various amino acids like arginine For me personally, I worked with my doctor to determine my thinning was due to vitamin deficiencies. So I skipped minoxidil, and have been using the Nioxin Hair Fall Defense Serum every night, as well as the Fable and Mane HoliRoots Hair Oil two to three times times a week before washing my hair — and I have seen some great progress so far. After six weeks, I started noticing a difference. Less hair was falling out and I've noticed fuller, more voluminous strands. While it can take several months to fully restore hair density from thinning, early results are very encouraging. By addressing my low vitamin levels and using targeted hair thinning products, I've already seen an improvement, but of course, as mentioned, it's not a one-size-fits-all approach. Always speak to your dermatologist or doctor to determine the cause of hair thinning and come up with a plan to improve your scalp and hair from there. If you're looking to target thinning hair, check out these treatments, including ones I have tested myself and seen progress with. A go-to, proven treatment for hair thinning and loss is topical minoxidil 5%. This is a convenient spray formula that's easy to apply and mess-free. This shopper-favourite rosemary oil has truly earned its hype. Rosemary oil is known to help with hair thinning and promote hair growth, plus the added oils — like biotin, jojoba oil and castor oil — work together to strengthen roots. This Nioxin leave-on serum is packed with hair-loving ingredients including caffeine which is approved by dermatologist, Beach. Plus, it has lauric acid, niacinamide and Sandalore, to stimulate hair follicles and support thicker-looking strands. It's easy to include in your routine and can be used daily — and has been an important part of my hair regrowth. Say hello to stronger hair with this lightweight pre-wash scalp and hair oil. Made with ashwagandha, amla and plant root blend — it helps strengthen hair and promote healthy hair growth. Plus, it has a light floral scent that a relaxing touch to your hair care routine. This is another one that I personally have seen success with. If you're looking to strengthen roots and reduce breakage, this Marc Anthony Grow Long serum is lightweight and formulated with rosemary oil and caffeine to support healthier hair growth. This 100% pure pumpkin seed oil is a simple yet powerful go-to packed with ingredients that help nourish the scalp and create a healthy environment for hair growth. If your scalp is sensitive, this shampoo is gentle yet stimulating enough to fortify hair and promote thickness. It's formulated with vitamins B3, B5, B6 aminexil and panthenol that leaves scalp feeling refreshed. For those dealing with progressed thinning, this peppermint scented Nioxin shampoo needs to be on your list. Formulated with niacinamide, biotin and Activ-Renewal technology clear buildup and create a healthy scalp environment for hair growth. This shampoo is great for fine, thin hair that needs a volume boost, and works to complement any hair loss or thinning treatments given it is infused with a blend of biotin, keratin and collagen amino acids. A healthy scalp is the foundation for strong hair — and this anti-dandruff shampoo formulated with 1% pyrithione zinc, ceramides, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid is gentle yet effective enough to keep scalp free of flakes — which could worsen hair thinning. Thin, breakage-prone hair can benefit from this L'Oreal Ever Pure conditioner that is made with rosemary and arginine to support hair that needs a bit of extra love. The name says it all. This density-boosting conditioner is powered by an energy complex made from caffeine, CoQ10 and green coffee oil, plus biotin and copper peptides. It's a lightweight formula that supports microcirculation for fuller looking hair. This JVN conditioner is lightweight and volume-boosting, formulated with squalane, biotin and bamboo extract to hydrate and strengthen the hair. It's great for fine and thinning hair that's in need of extra volume.
