The holiday season is always full of hustle and bustle, with social gatherings, last-minute shopping, and endless to-do lists. But amidst all the chaos, it's crucial to carve out time for yourself—a moment to nurture your mind, body, and, of course, your hair. That’s what "getting off the grid" is all about.
Whether it’s turning off your phone, cozying up with your favorite blanket, or treating yourself to a hair treatment, we’re here to help you make this season a little less stressful and a lot more relaxing.
Tip 1: Unplug and Unwind
Start by setting the vibes in your sacred space. Light our Temple Oud Candle and scent the scene with oud, Australian sandalwood, warm musk, night-blooming jasmine, Haitian vetiver, and violet leaves. Put your phone on ‘do not disturb,’ turn on your favorite music, and focus on relaxation. Disconnect from the digital world, while you focus on the present.
Tip 2: Indulge in a Deep Conditioning Session
When it comes to self-care, your hair deserves some love too. After all, it’s been through a lot—cold winds, indoor heating, and maybe a lot of styling for holiday events. Our Moisturizing Deep Conditioner is the perfect way to restore your hair’s softness and shine. This ultra-rich, buttery formula, packed with 12 nourishing butters and oils, restores hydration, improves manageability, and provides long-lasting moisture.
Pro Tip: Apply a generous amount of the Moisturizing Deep Conditioner to the hair after double cleansing with our Clarifying Shampoo & Scalp Scrub and Hydrating Shampoo, and cover with a shower cap. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes while you enjoy a warm cup of tea or read your favorite book. Rinse it out to reveal softer, more nourished hair.
Tip 3: Repair and Strengthen with a Hair Mask
For those who need more intense care—think color treatments, heat styling, or the aftermath of holiday party glam—our Reconstructing Treatment Mask is your go-to. Think of it as "hair repair in a jar." This mask is clinically tested to reduce breakage by 2x* and restore strength and shine after just one use*. It’s packed with Bioactive Keratin Ferment, which helps replenish lost proteins and seal the cuticle for a smoother, healthier look.
Pro Tip: Apply it generously after shampooing and leave it on for 15-20 minutes while you soak in the tub or meditate. Let the mask work its magic, then rinse to reveal hair that feels more resilient.
Tip 4: Strengthen and Nourish with the Fermented Rice & Rose Protein Ritual
Looking for a treatment that gives your hair an extra boost of strength? Try our Fermented Rice & Rose Protein Ritual. This treatment is a fortifying hair rinse, designed to make hair 3x more resistant to breakage* and improve length retention. The combination of hydrolyzed rice protein, rose powder, and biotin strengthens your hair from root to tip. It's a perfect way to keep your hair strong and vibrant during the colder months.
Pro Tip: Mix 1 pouch of Rice and Rose powder into 24 oz of warm water, apply it to your freshly shampooed, damp hair, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly, apply the silk rinse to restore softness to the hair. After even distribution, rinse the hair again and follow up with a hydrating conditioner to lock in all the goodness.
Tip 5: Lock In Moisture
After giving your hair some much-needed TLC, make sure to lock in that moisture so your strands stay soft, hydrated, and frizz-free throughout the holiday season. Our Moisture Sealing Lotion is perfect for sealing in hydration and adding a smooth finish to your hair. It’s lightweight and versatile, making it ideal for both curly and straight styles.
Pro Tip: Use it as a leave-in moisturizer on damp hair after conditioning, or apply a small amount to dry hair to refresh your style and keep frizz at bay. For an extra dose of shine and smoothness, pair it with a few drops of our Nourishing Hair Oil, which helps add a radiant finish without weighing your hair down.
Tip 6: Embrace the Small Joys
Remember, self-care isn’t just about products—it’s about taking time to enjoy the little things that make you happy. Curl up with your favorite movie, enjoy a long walk, or bake some holiday treats. Whatever it is that fills your cup, make time to do it this season. You time isn’t selfish – it’s Cécred.
