New Year, New Hair Goals: 6 Resolutions for Your Best Hair Yet

New year, new mindset — and that includes your hair routine. Whether you’re chasing growth, shine, strength, or simply want to break some bad hair habits, now’s the perfect time to hit reset. Here are six smart, practical hair goals to set for 2026, complete with the professional salon products to help you get there.

1. Prioritise Scalp Health

Goal: Build the foundation for stronger, more balanced hair
Scalp care is often overlooked, but it's where great hair begins. If you deal with oiliness, dryness, or buildup, now is the time to get serious about scalp support.

Try:

• Davroe Scalp Remedy Lotion Spray to calm and rebalance irritated or flaky scalps

• ELEVEN Australia Deep Clean Shampoo for a clarifying cleanse without stripping moisture

• Kevin Murphy SCALP.SPA Scrub to gently exfoliate and detox without disrupting pH

2. Stop Delaying Trims

Goal: Keep your ends fresh and prevent breakage
Skipping trims causes more damage than you think. Set a reminder every 8–12 weeks to keep ends in shape — and use treatments in between appointments.

Try:

• Pure Precious Ends Sealer to disguise split ends and reduce frizz

• Juuce Repair Leave-In for everyday protection and smoothing

• O&M Know Knott Detangler to prevent breakage while brushing

3. Commit to a Weekly Treatment

Goal: Repair, hydrate, and strengthen hair over time
Weekly treatments are the unsung heroes of healthy hair — especially after summer sun, chlorine, and heat styling.

Try:

• NAK Structure Complex Protein Conditioner to restore internal strength

• Kevin Murphy HYDRATE-ME.MASQUE for intense moisture, softness, and shine

• Davroe Luxe Leave-In Masque for hydration without heaviness

4. Streamline and Stick to a Routine

Goal: Build consistency with the basics
An effective routine doesn’t need to be complicated — but it does need to be consistent. Focus on a solid three-step core: cleanse, condition, protect.

Our go-to routine:

• ELEVEN Australia Hydrate My Hair Shampoo and Conditioner

• NAK Hair Repl.ends Leave-In Moisturiser to lock in hydration and protect from heat, UV, and pollution

• K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Oil

Add in extras like curl enhancers, volume sprays or oils only once the core is locked in.

5. Experiment With Colour or Style

Goal: Try something new without the full commitment
Whether it’s adding a fringe, experimenting with a gloss, or learning how to blow-dry properly, the new year is the ideal time to switch things up.

Try:

• Kevin Murphy BLONDE.ANGEL Treatment to tone and refresh cool blondes

• Pure Colour Angel Shampoo for maintaining vibrant colour

• Juuce Sea Air Mist for heat-free waves and lived-in texture

6. Choose Products That Align With Your Values

Goal: Opt for ethical, high-performance haircare
Look for brands that are cruelty-free, sustainably produced, and deliver professional results. More than ever, it's possible to care for your hair without compromising your ethics.

Try:

• O&M Seven Day Miracle Moisture Mask — sulphate-free, paraben-free, and deeply nourishing

• Kevin Murphy RE.STORE Cleansing Treatment — a 2-in-1 wash and repair treatment made with natural proteins

• ELEVEN Australia Gentle Cleanse Shampoo Bar — low-waste, space-saving, and travel-friendly
