As we enter the new year, many of us are shifting our focus to achievable, long-term beauty goals. This includes prioritizing hair health over fleeting trends, as search interest in “hair health” has increased by 21% in the past year. To help you achieve healthy, long hair in 2025, here are expert tips from leading hair professionals.
Return to Your Natural Hair Colour
After the pandemic, many turned to DIY hair colour alternatives, but in 2025, natural hair looks are making a comeback. Salon owner and CLOUD NINE Ambassador Mathilde Heather suggests that clients are swapping bright highlights for warmer, natural shades. Instead of harshly stripping your hair of colour at home, consider transitioning back to your natural look with the help of a professional. This will not only give your hair a healthier appearance but also help avoid further damage caused by intense colour treatments.
Stick to ‘Healthy Heat’ Styling
If you enjoy styling your hair with heat tools, it’s important to do so in a way that supports your hair health. Marie Nieuwoudt, CLOUD NINE Group Hair Educator, recommends using styling tools that offer lower temperatures, such as straighteners with adjustable heat settings. The CLOUD NINE Temperature Calculator can help you determine the ideal temperature based on your unique hair type. Tools like heated brushes, which use less heat, are also a great option for touch-ups. Consider investing in quality styling tools like the Bondi Boost Airburst Styler or Dyson’s Airstrait to keep your hair healthy while styling.
Use Reparative Hair Treatments
For hair that’s seen better days, Nieuwoudt advises using deeply moisturizing hair masks and leave-in conditioners to restore its vitality. Taking a break from high-heat styling, choosing low-manipulation hairstyles, and incorporating nourishing treatments will help your hair recover. Styles like a smooth, low bun secured with a claw clip can minimize breakage while maintaining a chic look. Products like Cloud Nine’s Magical Remedy and Olaplex’s Bond Protector Nourishing Hair Serum can work wonders in restoring moisture and strength to your strands.
Conclusion
Achieving healthy-looking long hair in 2025 is all about focusing on your hair’s long-term health and well-being. By embracing your natural hair colour, opting for heat styling tools that prioritize hair health, and using reparative treatments, you can nurture your hair and keep it looking vibrant. Remember, the key is to be patient and consistent with your hair care routine. With these expert tips, you’ll be on your way to achieving healthy, beautiful hair that radiates confidence throughout the year.
