After all your Christmas parties, give your hair a rest from styling products  that can dry it out. Instead, treat it to a natural remedy – coconut oil. Just heat up 3 tbsps of the oil and massage it into your locks, from roots to ends. Leave it in overnight.

Apply a hair mask to restore shine and moisture to dull locks. The best ones don’t leave your strands feeling greasy and icky, like this Argan Hair Mask from Bottega Verde, $23.90. Here are our top picks this year!

Hair serums are full of essential nutrients that provide added protection from damaging UV rays and even air pollution. The Tsubaki Scalp Serum, $18.90, is especially refreshing because once sprayed onto your scalp, the formula starts to bubble (it’s quite an experience). Check out our favourite hair serums here!

The next time you shampoo your hair, give your scalp a massage to relieve tension and improve blood circulation. Gently go in circles all over your head, paying especial attention to your hairline and the base of your neck (a sweet spot!).

If you’d rather relax completely, let the professionals take care of your mane for you. Make an appointment at salons that don’t just cut your hair but indulge you in hair treatments (to fix your hair problems or just give you a revitalising massage) and a space to chill out.

Visit: Kimage Cove (above), PHS Hairscience, ClearSK, Chez Vous and more. Here are some of the best salon treatments to try out!

You can also get a fresh new haircut while you’re there – here are some ideas to inspire you.

Deep-cleanse your scalp before entering the new year with a shampoo that does the job without stripping your hair of its moisture! Try the PHS Hairscience ADV Nutrition Scalp Cleanser, $39, that is formulated to fortify your scalp too.
