The Self-Care Rituals You'll Want to Keep

There’s a big shift around the beginning of the year—to change habits and start new, refreshed routines. And while we all have the best intentions, it’s around now that we start to feel the sparkle fade on that momentum. So instead of talking about unrealistic expectations, we’re here to highlight some of the best self-care rituals that you’ll actually want to keep this year.

It’s the little mindful moments throughout the day that can really change your energy for the better. For some it’s a cup of tea, for skincare lovers, it’s practising gua sha, and for anyone who wants to upgrade their haircare routine—consider taking a moment to add a little shine and repair with a spritz of SHIMMER.SHINE.

This repairing mist is lightweight enough to be applied to either damp or dry hair and effective enough to enhance your look, whether heat-styled or air-dried. Beyond its light reflective technology,

SHIMMER.SHINE is packed with vitamins and extracts to ensure your hair shines from the inside out. Use it as a finishing mist for extra shimmer or as a refreshing spray to define your look—either way, it’s a welcomed moment that allows you to take pause and treat your hair from the inside out.

From breaking up curls to adding volume at the scalp—you know that moment when you look in the mirror, and you just need a little oomph. Similar to the way you might reapply your lipstick, Zhuzhing (or tousling) your hair gives you the lift you need to feel refreshed—and all you need is a moment and the right products.

Whether you’re refreshing your style at-home or on the go, be sure to prep your finished look with DOO.OVER. This refreshing spray adds texture and hold in all the right ways so you can tousle at home or max out on it’s benefits while you’re out. Simply spray DOO.OVER on your finished style, any finish—smooth, waves, curls—will do. Then, insert your fingers around the new growth and give your hair a tousle. If you want extra oomph—add DOO.OVER to your mid-lengths and use your fingers to separate your strands and then lift the hair toward the crown for a perfectly zhuzhed finish.

The way we look at care has drastically changed over the past few seasons. Instead of seeing it as a daytime ritual, we’ve actually figured out that the power of your haircare lies in looking at it as a 24-hour cycle. Many of us are worried about not having enough hours in the day to do it all, but that’s because we weren’t using all our hours to our benefit.

Most products are meant to be applied at a specific time, for example: shampoo in the shower, heat protectants once before styling. But, then comes an array of products that were meant to be reapplied for the best style and care results. Meet the trio we’re talking about: YOUNG.AGAIN, NIGHT.SHIFT and SHIMMER.SHINE. This magical bundle of products takes you from AM to PM and back again with added moisture, protection, strength and shine. Because your haircare should be all hours, always on.

Starting with your AM routine, apply YOUNG.AGAIN to damp strands before styling. This rejuvenating serum is ideal to prep hair for heat styling and replenish moisture. Then, before bed—let us take the NIGHT.SHIFT with an overnight serum that delivers 12-hours of hydration* and 2x stronger hair by morning—no rinse required. If you want an added refresh throughout the day, refresh your look with a spritz of repairing SHIMMER.SHINE—for a complete care routine that delivers a complete finished look.

Prioritising self-care rituals you’ll actually want to keep this season makes the great hair moments last a little longer and gives you some time for yourself.
