Your 2026 Hair Reset Guide: New Year, New Hair Energy

A new year is the perfect excuse to hit refresh, especially on your hair. Whether 2025 left your strands feeling dry, over-styled, or just meh, a 2026 hair reset is all about simplifying, nourishing, and giving your hair exactly what it needs to thrive.

Step 1: Start With a Clean Slate
Resetting begins in the shower. Swap out heavy buildup-causing products for a gentle clarifying wash (once a week is plenty) to remove residue and let your hair breathe again. Think fresh scalp, fresh start.

We recommend:

• KMS Head Remedy Deep Cleanse Shampoo
• Malibu C Hard Water Wellness Shampoo
• Surface Purify Clarifying Shampoo

Step 2: Reassess Your Routine
If your routine feels complicated, it’s time to streamline. Ask yourself:

• Is my hair dry, damaged, or lacking volume?
• Am I using products for my current hair goals?

2026 is about intentional hair care. Fewer products, better results.

Step 3: Nourish From Root to Tip
Hydration is the non-negotiable this year. Incorporate a deep conditioning mask weekly and don’t forget scalp care. A healthy scalp = healthier hair growth.

We recommend:

• Aluram Hydrate & Repair Treatment
• Kerasilk Recovery Mask
• Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask
• Surface Awaken Therapeutic Treatment
• Living proof. Scalp Care Revitalizing Treatment
• Lanza Scalp Therapy Stimulating Treatment

Step 4: Protect Your Progress
Heat and environmental stress can undo all your hard work. Use heat protectants, embrace air-dry days, and opt for protective styles when possible. Small changes make a big difference over time.

We recommend:

• K18 Biomimetic Hairscience HeatBounce Conditioning Heat Protectant
• Paul Mitchell Flexible Hold Hot Off The Press Heat Protectant
• Kenra Professional Thermal Styling Spray 19
• Goldwell StyleSign Smooth Air-Dry BB Cream 2
• Neuma Neu Styling Air-Dry Shaper
• Living proof. Style Lab Air-Dry Styler

Step 5: Set Your 2026 Hair Goals
Length, strength, shine, or volume; whatever your goal, consistency is key. Treat your hair routine like self-care, not a chore.

Your 2026 mantra: Healthy hair first, trends second.
