Hello, 2021! While we aren’t in the clear quite yet from Covid-19 and are surely still seeing the consequences of both political and Mother Nature unrest, we can all certainly take a collective sigh of relief knowing that 2020 is over. To lighten things up a bit, let’s go ahead and make a promise right here and right now that 2021 won’t include botched at-home haircuts and panic highlighting! Let’s make 2021 a year of collective health and fabulous hair. Here are three start-today trends you’ll be sure to hear about and see as we make our way through this brand-new year.
Fall in Love with Your Natural Hair Texture
This year, instead of trying to tirelessly maintain stick straight hair or bouncy curls when your natural texture is the opposite, try embracing your beautifully unique hair! Regardless of your hair type—fine, straight, thick, curly, wavy, frizzy, unruly, dry, oily, whatever—there is undoubtedly a product line specifically dedicated to helping bring out your natural radiance. Don’t fight what you’ve been given, embrace it, and learn to love it! Plus, think of how much time you’ll save by letting your natural hair out to play!
Natural texture, natural color (or at least within your natural color spectrum), and natural air dry are IN for 2021.
Use One System of Shampoo and Conditioner
While many of us use a hodge-podge of haircare products, in 2021 try using one product line for your shampoo and conditioner. While mixing and matching isn’t necessarily bad, many brands develop their products lines to specifically complement one another. So, for best results, try using the shampoo and conditioner that were meant to go together.
Take Care of Your Scalp
Just like the rest of the skin on your body, your scalp also needs to be cleansed, exfoliated, and moisturized on a regular basis. According to the London Dermatology Centre, “You need to maintain the perfect condition for five elements of a healthy scalp: moisture and oils, pH balance, cleanliness, circulation, and protection.”
Fortunately, scalp care is quite simple and since this was a big trend that carried through 2020, there are amazing clarifying, exfoliating, deep conditioning, and balancing hair care products on the market. Paris Claire Salon’s signature product line includes everything you need to take care of your scalp. Try their Apple Cider & Pectin shampoo or Energizing shampoo for a squeaky clean, pH balanced, and happy scalp!
