New Year’s resolutions tend to fall apart by February – usually because they’re too complicated. When it comes to hair, the rules are simpler. Healthy hair in 2026 isn’t about doing more; it’s about doing the right things consistently.

These are the three hair resolutions our Hershesons stylists are committing to this year – and the habits worth adopting if you want better hair long after January.

Work with your hair, not against it

In 2026, let your hair do what it wants to do – just better. That means choosing a cut that enhances your natural texture, using products that support movement rather than weighing hair down, and easing off excessive heat styling. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s hair that feels healthy and looks effortless. 

A lightweight styler like Almost Everything Cream helps smooth, define and enhance natural texture without masking it – perfect for days when you want your hair to look polished, but still like your hair.

Put scalp care first 

Look after your scalp for healthier hair. It’s a simple principle: because hair grows from the scalp, unhealthy skin here often leads to unhealthy hair. Prioritise scalp care by regularly removing product build-up and pollution, and consider incorporating targeted scalp treatments – such as serums or masks – designed to nourish, rebalance and support the skin in the area.

Experiment with a new style

Of course, we wouldn’t be hairstylists if we didn’t suggest a new cut or colour. Sometimes, the smallest change – like a fresh hair look – can make the biggest difference to how you feel. And we’re here to make it happen. Book an appointment with one of our expert stylists (see the full list here), and they’ll work with you to create the hair of your dreams.
