Forming healthy hair habits is key to growing strong and nourished strands. This starts with building a simple but effective routine that you can do, no matter the time or place. With a touch of commitment and patience, and an investment in the products that best suit your hair type – anything is possible this year. 

RESOLUTION 1: I WILL INVEST IN THE RIGHT TOOLS 

 

It’s one thing to apply effective products to your locks, or take the best haircare supplements, but if you’re using styling tools or harsh chemicals that cause damage through overheating, snagging or breakage – you’re not going to see the results you’re hoping for. Regular use of hot tools, chemical straighteners or bleach, can sizzle and fray your strands. Although it’s perfectly fine to use heating tools every now and again, our hair can still be affected by intense temperatures. To make matters worse, poor-quality hair brushes and combs can also pull and snag what’s left of your mane, particularly if used with too much tension.  

 

To combat these issues, consider investing in a wide-tooth comb that can detangle gently, and is ideal for use on both wet and dry hair. You might also consider a tool that doesn’t apply heat directly to your strands or has an adjustable temperature gauge and avoid colouring your locks for a few months whenever possible.  

 

 

 

RESOLUTION 2: I WILL GET A TRIM 

 

Hair feeling damaged and brittle from the last few weeks in the water and sun? The quickest and easiest solution is to remove the broken areas and stop the breakage of the split ends from traveling further up the hair shaft. A trim or small cut will also help you enter the new year with a refreshed sense of self. New look incoming. 

 

RESOLUTION 3: I WILL STOP USING NASTY INGREDIENTS 

 

Quality hair products aren’t as hard to come by as they once were. These days, finding formulations that support your hair is easier than ever before. Particularly if you’re a fan of ROBE. Ingredients you might want to avoid include parabens, silicone and sodium laurel sulphates.  

 

Not only can these ingredients cause irritation, they can further damage the hair and scalp. Consider switching to a hydrating and reparative shampoo and conditioning formulations that features protein and moisturising ingredients, and add a leave-in treatment or mask that can be used regularly. ROBE’S formulations include active ingredients that work to repair and maintain optimal overall hair health and are suitable for everyday use. 

 

 

RESOLUTION 4: I WILL MAKE SMALL CHANGES WITH BIG IMPACT 

 

Sometimes all it takes are a few tweaks to your routine to create the best outcomes. This can include air drying your locks naturally rather than using a hairdryer, washing your hair with clean and fresh water after a swim to reduce the amount of chlorine and salt in your locks, or considering a root shadow touch-up. This will allow you to stretch out your colour appointments, which will lessen the frequency and intensity of any chemical damage to your hair. Finally, enjoying a diet high in healthy fats and protein can help to ensure any new hair growth is as strong and healthy as possible. 

 

RESOLUTION 5: I WILL USE AN AT-HOME TREATMENT 

 

Embracing a Leave-In Treatment every few days will do wonders for your locks as it can help to maintain moisture and reduce the harsh effects of any styling tools you’re using. If your hair is prone to split ends or breakage, this will be particularly beneficial.  

 

Our formula works to fill in porous areas and protect dry, brittle or damaged strands, giving your hair a moisture boost while smoothing cuticles to prevent frizz and flyaways. Best of all, it won’t leave your hair feeling oily or dirty and can be applied whenever you want to support your locks.
