How to Care for Your Hair Like a Pro in 2026
A new year is the perfect opportunity for a fresh start — and that includes your hair. While trends come and go, healthy, well-cared-for hair never goes out of style. In 2026, we’re encouraging our clients to focus less on quick fixes and more on long-term hair health. Here are four New Year’s hair resolutions that will help your hair look and feel its best all year round — with a little expert help from your stylist along the way.
Put Your Hair Health First
Healthy hair is the foundation of every great style. In 2026, focus on nourishing your hair properly with the right shampoo, conditioner, and treatments for your hair type and concerns. Your stylist can help you choose professional products and in-salon treatments that strengthen, hydrate, and protect your hair, so it looks and feels its best all year round.
Get Regular Trims to Keep Frizz at Bay
Regular trims are essential for keeping your hair looking fresh and preventing split ends from travelling up the hair shaft. Even if you’re growing your hair, maintenance trims support healthier, stronger growth. Ask your Shape Hair Design stylist how often you should be booking in based on your cut and goals — a simple schedule can make a big difference to your hair’s overall condition.
Care for Your Colour Properly
Whether you’re blonde, brunette, red, or grey, your colour needs gentle care to stay vibrant and healthy. Using colour-safe products helps maintain shine, tone, and longevity between appointments. Your stylist can recommend the right home care and refresh services, such as glosses or toners, to keep your colour looking salon-fresh for longer.
Be Smarter With Heat Styling
Heat styling is part of everyday life for many of us, but how you use heat matters. Lower temperatures, quality tools, and proper protection can reduce breakage and dryness that leads to that dreaded frizz. If you’re unsure how to style safely at home, ask your stylist to show you the best techniques and products to protect your hair without compromising your finish.
