The Biggest Hair Trends For 2023
1. Hair Care
Hair care may not be the most exciting trend, but it is the most important one, especially for this coming year.
Overall, hair care is becoming an important aspect of personal grooming and self-care, and people will invest more time and money to achieve the perfect hair. Why you ask? As hair trends come and go, one important factor never does. Your hair health and integrity of your hair is what most women are seeking more of these days.
Why Women Are Making Scalp Care A Priority
Many women are seeking answers for hair loss since Covid because Covid causes temporary hair loss in some.
And, with the rise of social media, people have become more aware of the importance of maintaining healthy hair. This has led to a greater demand for hair care products and treatments. So new hair treatments that make scalp care a priority are trending big time. Taking good care of your scalp with a hair care routine that promotes a clean scalp, and a well moisturized scalp.
Your head of hair depends on your scalp. To understand the health of our hair, you need to look at the root of the problem. You will have shinier, stronger, and fuller locks if your scalp is healthy.
So many women deal with dry scalp from the build-up of hair products like dry shampoo, etc.
The Most Popular Scalp Treatments
There are a variety of scalp treatment products that can be beneficial for maintaining a healthy scalp. Some of these include:
- Scalp exfoliants: These products, such as scrubs or brushes, can help remove dead skin cells and build-up from the scalp, promoting healthy hair growth. Look for natural products that are chemical free that won’t dry out the scalp.
- Shampoos and conditioners: Look for products that are specifically planned for the scalp, such as those containing ingredients like tea tree oil, salicylic acid, and menthol, which can help soothe and clarify the scalp.
- Oils: Oils such as coconut, argan, and castor oil can be massaged into the scalp to moisturize, strengthen, and promote hair growth.
- Leave-in treatments: Look for leave in treatments that contain ingredients like biotin, which can help strengthen and nourish hair, or panthenol, which can help moisturize the scalp.
It’s important to note that everyone’s scalp is different, so what works for one person may not work for another. It’s also important to do a patch test before using any product, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Healthy Locks
“The best thing a woman can learn is balance. Protein and moisture are the two components that make hair high quality. Protein is the natural strength of your hair, (we often use Olaplex, or K18 to restore protein). Moisture is the natural elasticity for the hair to bend and return to shape. (we often use product like Amika Soul food nourishing masque, Kerastase Nutritive Masque)”
Joni Levi- Stylist
Healthy locks means proper moisture, protein and shine.
When we use a protein based product, you can deplete the amount of moisture in the hair very quickly, so do not use protein very often and do moisture masks more often!
