The start of the new year is the perfect time to prioritize self care and set goals to help you feel confident and empowered as you move forward into the year. I'm here to remind you not to forget about your hair in those new year intentions!
Let's dive into practical tips to help you achieve your healthiest happiest hair in 2025!
WINTER WOES
We are right in the heart of the season that can leave your hair feeling dry and damaged, not just from the cold but from that indoor heat as well. Most homes and indoor spaces drop drastically in humidity levels in the winter, and the dry air in your home can really take a toll on your hair. It can feel like your hair is constantly thirsty, becoming brittle, frizzy, and more prone to breakage. You might also notice more static from wearing hats and scarves, and an itchy, flaky scalp that just won’t quit. Your once shiny strands might start looking dull and lifeless. To keep your hair happy during these colder months, try using a humidifier in your home to add moisture back into the air, washing your hair with a non-stripping hair cleanser, and using protective leave-in treatments and oils to lock in that much-needed moisture. You can also protect your hair during the winter months by booking an in-salon hydrating treatment and a trim to remove split ends, or treat yourself to one of my steam therapy treatments. Steam helps to detoxify and remove buildup and minerals on the hair and scalp, which is essential to overall scalp health.
Healthy Hair Here
January is a great time to reassess your hair routine. Some of your hair and scalp issues may be especially noticeable right now, and it's important to focus on scalp care always, but especially in the winter. Conventional shampoos only make this problem worse, often leaving you with excessive flakiness or with oily roots and dry ends. This is why New Wash is perfect for correcting this, as it will cleanse and condition your hair without stripping it of all its natural protective barrier. It will even help you balance oil production to go longer between washes! If you need more moisture, use New Wash Rich! If you are dealing with damaged or over-processed hair, you need even more reparative power, the new New Wash with Bond Boost is incredible!
Check in with your crown
We all know that life can get busy, and sometimes our hair care routines take a backseat. However, consistency is key to achieving and maintaining healthy hair. Think about your daily habits—are you using products that truly work with your hair type and its needs? Are you brushing your hair? Are you giving your hair a break from heat styling? Even just taking a day or two off from blow drying or curling can make such a difference. It's all about those small, mindful changes in your routine that can make a big difference in your hair's health over time. It's 2025, we're no longer complaining about things, wishing they could be better and choosing to do nothing about it.
I love helping clients identify areas where their routine might need a bit of an upgrade, which is why I created a free hair quiz that you can submit and I will send you a personalized reply with tips and advice on what you can do to work through some of the issues you’re facing, or if you want to understand your hair more and have a better relationship with it. Take a few moments to reflect on your hair journey and the goals you hair for yourself, whether it be growing your hair longer, scheduling more frequent trims or creating a simple yet powerful daily hair ritual.
Make time to care for yourself
A new year is a reminder that time is passing, and you should always be setting aside some for yourself. A relaxing hair appointment, Reiki Healing session, an intuitive reading, or at home pampering session can all help you recharge. When you incorporate holistic hair practices like choosing non-toxic products and brushing your hair daily, you realize that through this you are able to slow down, take control back and connect deeper to yourself.
Your hair deserves just as much attention as the rest of your self-care routine. By following these tips you’ll be on your way to achieving strong, healthy hair in 2025. Ready to start your holistic hair care journey? Let’s make your hair goals a reality.
