Prepare for shinier, healthier, fuller locks and loads of good hair days.
If you dream of good hair days, take a shine to transformative haircare. Consistent nurturing with nourishing products can enliven legendary locks. Whether you are adding texture, smoothing out, repairing damage, reviving the dull, or all of the above, healthy hair essentials will build strength, volume, and radiance.
Make It a Mane Attraction
A holistic approach to tip-top health shows up in your strands. Every single part of miraculous you is connected on similar wavelengths. Caring for yourself from the inside out inspires overall wellness and positive vibes…you and your hair deserve TLC.
Regular use of scalp-savvy oils, serums, creams, scrubs, masks, shampoos, and conditioners is vital for a strong and lustrous look. You only have one head of hair, treat it with voluminous affection.
“When it is healthy and hydrated, hair can thrive in its beautiful natural state…making it far easier to style as well,” says celebrity hair stylist Mara Roszak of Mare Salon and creator and founder of RŌZ – a new hair care collection flying off the shelves. “When hair is dehydrated—often from environmental or weather changes, hard water, swimming—it can be a daily struggle; hydrating treatments are a key part of your hair looking its best."
Minimize Stresses for Your Tresses
Stressed out? Your hair may feel the strain. Not enough zzz’s, skimping on vitamins, too much pressure, too little Zen, and lack of self-care can all factor into split-ends, hair thinning, or follicle fallout. Transformative haircare can help alleviate negative side effects from life’s challenges.
Selecting products with aromas to calm your mind or trigger fond memories can be therapy for transformative hair. “The scent of a hair product lives with you, in your hair, throughout the day…and we know how much scent can affect our mood,” says Roszak, whose clients include Emma Stone and Cara Delevingne. “The Santa Lucia fragrance I created reminds me of my favorite place in the world, Big Sur. Every time I smell it, I am transported to the misty mountains and clean, crisp, earthy air.”
Take a deep, restorative breath. Once you start giving yourself (and your hair) more attention, your lifetime health may improve. Pampering and positivity go a long way for soul and scalp renewal.
Rescue Your Roots
Love your locks yet they’re not loving you back? Get to the root of the problem. Science proves that in nature, (and yes, we are all natural beings) hearty roots sustain robust plants. Special care at the core provides fundamental nutrients for bounteous beauty.
“I am a huge believer that your hair is absolutely stunning and a part of what makes us unique,” says Roszak. “Any damage can be repaired with proper haircare. If you feel your hair is not looking its best, nourish it with moisture. You will start to see incredible results quickly."
Tending to your scalp with healthful products is like planting a seed and watching it flourish. Grow baby, grow.
Repair, Rinse, Repeat
Wash away habits that don’t serve you and make meaningful haircare part of your self-care. Like a physical workout, becoming stronger takes time. Keep pumping the transformative haircare iron and you will see a difference. Simple rituals can spark impressive results.
Researchers say habits can be made in as few as 18 days. Stay the course and in less than one lunar phase, your tresses will be transformed. Remember, practice makes perfect.
“Treatment and self-care don’t have to be a major time commitment or expense,” adds Roszak. “Keep a waterproof brush in your shower and every time you condition or mask your hair, brush through thoroughly, remove every tangle, and ensure the product is dispersed evenly and penetrates the hair.”
“After your shower, use a lighter weight hair specific towel. I have far less frizz when I use these towels, making it easier to style or air dry my natural waves,” she says. “Out of the shower, I use the RŌZ Santa Lucia styling oil to hydrate, protect, and add shine. Sometimes day two if not washing, I spray my hair with water in a mister, add a bit more styling oil and that is all!”
Beauty Au Naturel
Conscious companies are formulating transformative products that are good for people and planet. Environmentally friendly, organically farmed, plant-based, recyclable, and guilt-free - pure genius. Earth-focused and sustainable practices will help preserve our precious, fragile world.
Leonor Greyl partners with stewards like The SeaCleaners and Beeopic; Vegamour supports fair-trade communities that ethically harvest all natural ingredients and never ever harm animals; RŌZ is committed to environmental preservation; and the list of do-gooders goes on.
“There has been shift in our understanding of how the products we use daily can affect both our health and the environment,” says Roszak. “It’s exciting to see how many brands are taking initiative and formulating in a clean way.”
“We definitely don’t claim to be perfect at RŌZ,” she says. “But I really look at things holistically, taking a very mindful approach, going beyond being just a clean formula. We make sure the ingredients we source, as well as our packaging, is sustainable – helping to ensure there is not extra harm to the ecosystem and the environment. We partner with BOOX for reusable shipping boxes; they are doing away with the old model of single-use cardboard that gets thrown in the trash.”
You can feel good about transformative haircare that embodies brilliant ingenuity. Consider these game-changing products that are here to stay.
