Gone are the days of using an actual iron to straighten your hair, 3-in-1 shampoos that do more harm than good, and dousing hair in Sun-In for “natural” looking highlights. Nowadays, it’s all about caring for your hair – and we don’t see that changing any time soon. Here are seven haircare trends that prove healthy hair reigns supreme.
Embracing Your Natural Hair
Loving your natural hair is just one of the many ways to show yourself love; it’s an extension of you, after all. One hair trend that we hope never goes out of style is loving and caring for your hair the way you love and care for your best friend.
Overnight Scalp Serums
Overnight scalp serums are creams or oils applied to your hair before bed that repair your locks while you sleep so you wake up with Instagram-worthy hair. Overnight is the perfect time for your tresses to switch to repair mode as it takes a break from heat, styling, and other health risks.
Our Pick: Divi Scalp Serum ($48, shop here)
Better Brushes
There’s a chance you never thought twice about your hairbrush, but these days, we are taking our brush options more seriously. Everybody’s hair is different, which means everybody has different brush needs. Choosing the right brush for your hair can make a difference in your hair’s health and appearance.
Our Pick: Crave Naturals Glide-Thru Detangling Brush ($19.99, shop here)
The Rise of Rosemary
Rosemary was all over our TikTok feeds for months – for good reason. Rosemary boosts shine, strengthens hair, soothes the scalp, promotes thicker hair, and more. (Plus, it smells lovely!)
Our Pick: Mielle Organics Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil ($9.99, shop here)
Miracle Waters
You may have heard that micellar water is part of an effective skincare routine, but it can also work wonders on your hair by gently cleansing, regulating sebum, and removing harsh minerals, dirt, and pollution. Micellar water won’t strip the scalp of its natural oils, making it gentle enough for everyday use.
Our Pick: L’Oreal Paris Elvive 8-Second Wonder Water ($10.99, shop here)
Enhancing Natural Shine
Smooth, shiny hair is nothing more than hair with locked-in moisture. Shiny, hydrated hair also means you’ve parted ways with a dry, itchy, flaky scalp. To achieve this, sleep on satin pillowcases, rinse hair with cold water, load up on healthy foods, and use a clarifying shampoo once a week.
Our Pick: Slip Silk Pillowcase (starting at $89, shop here)
Hair Masks
Once again, our haircare routine is taking a page from our skincare routine. Hair masks provide nourishment, hydration, and intense conditioning. We recommend using a hair mask no more than twice a week; applying too frequently can leave you with greasy, weighed-down locks.
Our Pick: Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Coating Protein Treatment ($8.40, shop here)
