From hydration to trims: 10 hair habits to master in 2025

Regular scalp massages Stimulate hair growth and improve blood circulation with weekly scalp massages using natural oils.

Hydration inside and out Keep your hair moisturised with deep conditioning treatments and stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.

Limit heat styling Minimise the use of hot tools like straighteners and curlers to reduce damage and maintain natural texture.

Protective hairstyles Use protective styles to minimise breakage and give your hair a rest from daily styling.

Trim split ends regularly Schedule regular trims every six-eight weeks to prevent split ends and maintain healthy hair growth.

Switch to satin or silk pillowcases Reduce friction and prevent hair breakage by sleeping on silk or satin pillowcases.

Use gentle hair products Opt for sulfate-free shampoos and natural conditioners and avoid harsh chemicals that strip your hair of its natural oils.

Protect from UV rays Use hair products with UV protection or wear a hat to shield your hair from sun damage.

Adopt a healthy diet It is important to have a balanced diet but you should focus more on foods rich in biotin, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins for strong and shiny hair.

Avoid overwashing Wash your hair two to three times a week to maintain natural oils and prevent dryness. Anything more than that damages the hair.
