New Year, New Hair Habits ✨ Give Yourself A Refresh At Hush Salon and Spa

January isn’t just for gym goals and fresh planners—your hair deserves a reset too. The new year is the perfect time to check in with your routine and build habits that support long-term hair health, not just quick fixes. At Hush Salon and Spa in Guelph, our stylists believe the best results come from small, consistent changes that actually fit into your lifestyle. 

Here are the hair habits we’re encouraging clients to lean into this year:

🌿 Wash Less, Let Your Scalp Rebalance

Over-washing can strip the scalp of its natural oils, often leading to dryness, irritation, and even excess oil production. Washing less frequently gives your scalp the chance to regulate itself naturally. If daily washing feels like a must, try gradually spacing it out—every other day is a great starting point. Dry shampoo can help bridge the gap while your scalp adjusts.

🪮 Detangle With Care

Hair is at its most vulnerable when wet, especially during winter when dryness is already a factor. Using a wide-tooth comb and gently working from the ends upward helps prevent breakage and minimizes stress on the hair shaft. This habit is especially important for textured, coloured, or fine hair.

💆♀️ Prioritize Scalp Health

Healthy hair always starts at the scalp. Adding a scalp massage to your routine—even for just a few minutes—can help stimulate circulation, support healthy growth, and improve overall scalp condition. It’s also a great way to slow down and turn your hair routine into a moment of self-care instead of a chore.

✂️ Stay on Schedule With Trims

Consistent trims every 8–10 weeks help prevent split ends from traveling up the hair, keeping your style looking fresh and your ends feeling strong. Regular maintenance also makes hair easier to style and manage, especially during the dry winter months here in Guelph.

🧴 Choose Gentle, Scalp-Friendly Products

One of the biggest upgrades you can make is switching to a shampoo that supports your scalp instead of stripping it. Our stylists often recommend AG Care Balance Apple Cider Vinegar Shampoo for its ability to gently clarify buildup while maintaining moisture and shine. It’s a favourite at Hush Salon & Spa for clients who want a clean, refreshed scalp without that squeaky-dry feeling.

✨ This year, think consistency over perfection.

Healthy hair isn’t built overnight—it’s created through habits you can stick with. Whether you’re refreshing your routine, growing your hair out, or focusing on scalp health, our team at Hush Salon & Spa in Guelph is here to help you set realistic hair goals and find the products and schedule that work best for you.

New year, new hair habits—and hair that feels better every month. 💛
