Hair Goals: Revamp Your Routine for The New Year

Don’t ask us why, but the new year is one of the best times to start a new routine. And when it comes to routines that have little commitment and a major impact, hair care always falls at the top of the list. From switching up a few products or scheduling in a new treatment, these self-care choices will help you enhance your new year routine with little effort but great effect.

There are no restrictions, no intense schedules, or rules really — when creating a new beauty routine, it's all about indulgence, and that’s something everyone can get behind. The key to upgrading your rituals and sticking to them comes down to making a plan that you can stick to. A 7-step haircare routine might not be in the cards but adding one or two details here and there can help you make headway while also being enjoyable. Find practices and products you’re comfortable with and build from there.

As one of the most overlooked areas when it comes to hair care, taking care of the scalp is essential for your skin and your style. It’s a little too easy to forget about your scalp between shampoo’s, but if your hair volume has been feeling lackluster or you notice your curls don’t seem to curl like they used to — start with your scalp.

Easing the effort, start with SCALP — choose one or choose all, anything you add will only help the cause.

Starting fresh and sloughing it all away, SCALP.SPA SCRUB is a great way to remove impurities and build-up. It’s ideal as a pre-wash treatment and also doubles as a body scrub, making it an effortless addition to your shower. From here, SCALP.SPA WASH was created with Micellar Water to purify and soothe leaving you with expertly cleansed, yet moisturised strands. Taking the routine out of the shower, SCALP.SPA TREATMENT or SCALP.SPA SERUM are excellent ways to treat your scalp to a spa day. The TREATMENT is ideal as a pre-wash addition — a lush foaming product that delivers a healthy amount of hydration for a balanced, happy scalp. While the SERUM is a perfect little pick-me-up whether you’re getting ready for your day or winding down — it can be applied at any time to soothe, target problem areas or give your scalp some sweet relief. 

You don’t need a bob or a pixie to schedule regular trims. Planning to remove dead ends before they start is all part of creating a healthy hair routine. Because, if you want to long — usually when the ends feel sticky (you know what we’re talking about), you’ll often cause more damage and undue breakage. Get ahead of the problem and create a schedule that works with you and your hair type/style. Depending on your lifestyle and cut, every 4-6 weeks can be great for shorter hair while every 8-12 is ideal for longer lengths depending on how often you heat style or colour your hair.

Starting the new year off in style, the best thing you can do for your hair is add heat protection. Beginning before the ball drops, heat protectants should be applied each time you style — no matter whether you’re blow-drying, curling or flat ironing. To add invisible protection all year round, HEATED.DEFENSE is the ideal addition. Because it’s so lightweight with an invisible foam texture, you can add it right into your normal routine without even knowing it’s there — besides the fact that it will provide heat protection up to 232˚C / 450˚F.

In addition to heat protection, investing in a solid leave-in treatment is an easy, yet effective way to instantly upgrade your hair routine. It takes virtually no time to add a leave-in treatment to your wash day, but it makes all the difference in the world when it comes to increasing the health of your hair. You can continue the bond-building protection with the help of EVERLASTING.COLOUR LEAVE-IN, turn back the hands of time and rejuvenate your strands with shine with YOUNG.AGAIN, detangle with ease with UN.TANGLED, repair damage and promote elasticity with STAYING.ALIVE, or nourish seriously damaged hair with a helping hand and heat protection up to 200°F / 93°C with LEAVE-IN.REPAIR.
