Plan Your Hair Journey for the New Year: Look and Feel Your Best All Year Round!
As the New Year rolls in, why not plan a hair journey that ensures you look and feel fabulous for all your key moments? Your hair is a reflection of your vibe, confidence, and personal style. Whether it’s for selfies with your loved ones or special celebrations, here’s how to plan your hair routine like a pro!
Step 1: Map Out Your Big Days
Start by identifying the moments that truly matter in your year. Think Easter brunches, birthday bashes, Christmas celebrations, and, of course, ringing in the New Year! Jot down those dates when you’ll want to turn heads, capture memories, and feel your absolute best.
During your next stylist consultation, share your calendar highlights. This helps your stylist align your hair goals with these dates. Whether it’s a stunning blowout, fresh color, or a bold new cut, planning ahead ensures you’ll shine when it counts.
Step 2: Build in the Down Time
Your hair deserves a break, too! Between those dazzling events, use quieter periods to rejuvenate and restore. Incorporate treatments like deep conditioning, hydrating masks, or a scalp detox. This downtime is perfect for taming frizz, mending split ends, or strengthening strands—so your hair can bounce back better than ever for the next big occasion.
Step 3: Prep for Seasonal Shifts
Each season calls for a slightly different hair care approach:
Summer: Combat sun, salt, and chlorine damage with protective sprays and nourishing masks
Autumn: Repair summer wear-and-tear with trims and hydrating treatments
Winter: Tame dryness and static with moisturizing shampoos and leave-ins
Spring: Refresh your look with lighter tones or a layered cut for that airy vibe
Align your hair journey with the seasons to keep your locks in top shape year-round.
Step 4: Style Strategically
For each special event, work backwards from your ideal look. For example:
Want lush, voluminous waves for your birthday? Book a trim and a hydrating treatment 3–4 weeks before.
Planning sleek, polished hair for Christmas? Schedule a keratin treatment well in advance for frizz-free festivities.
Strategic styling means planning ahead so your hair is always on point.
Step 5: Embrace a Routine That Works
Your hair journey isn’t just about the big days; it’s about loving your locks every day! Build a routine that suits your lifestyle, using products tailored to your hair type. If you’re unsure where to start, consult your stylist for personalised recommendations.
