We all know that the new year is a perfect time to review our habits, and perhaps start new habits that will set you on the right track for the upcoming year. At Gisou, we’re big advocates for creating a few New Year hair resolutions! Here are 5 hair resolutions that will help you achieve and maintain healthy, glossy and soft hair in 2026 and beyond.
1. Start with a healthy hair routine
The first hair resolution should be to start with the basics: your haircare routine. Your routine is very personal to your specific hair type and concerns, and will help you achieve your hair goals. Creating and maintaining a good haircare routine with the right products and treatments will help you get your healthiest hair yet!
Steps for a healthy hair routine:
In our Honey Gloss Ceramide Therapy Routine*, each step is carefully formulated to complement and enhance the next—working together to deliver scientifically proven** transformational hydration, strength and glossy shine, without weighing hair down.
1. CLEANSE WITH HONEY GLOSS CERAMIDE THERAPY HYDRATING SHAMPOO
Our shampoo gently yet effectively removes buildup while supporting the scalp’s microbiome.
HOW TO USE: Emulsify to create a luxurious lather. Massage into wet scalp and hair, then rinse.
2. NOURISH WITH HONEY GLOSS CERAMIDE THERAPY HAIR MASK
Our hair mask works at the fiber level to strengthen, nourish and repair.
HOW TO USE: After shampooing, squeeze out excess water and evenly apply to mid-lengths and ends. Wait for 5-7 minutes. Rinse thoroughly.
3. POLISH WITH HONEY GLOSS CERAMIDE THERAPY HYDRATING CONDITIONER
Our conditioner intensely smooths and seals hair cuticles, locking in moisture for a mirror-like shine effect.
HOW TO USE: Squeeze out excess water and distribute evenly from mid-lengths to ends. Leave for 1-2 minutes, then rinse.
4. SHINE WITH HONEY INFUSED HAIR OIL
Our hair oil delivers instant shine, hydration, heat protection and lasting frizz control with every drop.
HOW TO USE: Apply a few drops into your palms and rub your hands together. Distribute evenly from mid-lengths to ends to lock in moisture, tame flyaways and add glossy shine.
Creating and maintaining a healthy hair routine will help you stick to your New Year hair resolutions, so start with the basics and consider the steps (and hair care products made with natural ingredients) you might be missing in your routine currently.

2. Always protect your hair
This might be the most important step out of all of these hair resolutions, especially if you regularly use heat tools on your hair, such as curling or straightening, or if you blow-dry your hair. Always, always use a heat protectant on your hair before styling, like our Honey Milk 5-in-1 Styling Cream. This multi-tasking styling cream protects the hair up to 230ᵒC/446ᵒF while also prepping hair for blowouts, waves, curls and straight styles
The key ingredients in this creamy formula are Mirsalehi Honey and hydrolyzed milk protein. Mirsalehi Honey is a powerhouse ingredient rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids and potent antioxidants. Sustainably sourced from our Mirsalehi Bee Garden, it provides long-lasting hydration and glossy shine. Hydrolyzed milk protein is rich in amino acids, the essential building blocks of keratin, which help strengthen hair and reduce breakage.
3. Take care of your scalp
Scalp care might be one of the most overlooked steps in any haircare routine, but is actually one of the most important ones. A healthy scalp is the basis of healthy hair, as your scalp is where it all starts! So if you’re making one hair resolution this year, it should be scalp care.
The scalp contains thousands of hair follicles, each acting as the growth center for a single hair strand. These follicles rely on a healthy scalp environment to function properly, drawing nutrients,oxygen and natural oils from the surrounding skin. When the scalp becomes irritated, congested or inflamed, this process is disrupted, which can slow growth, weaken strands and contribute to thinning hair, hair breakage and loss of shine.
The best cleansing routine for a healthy scalp
The best scalp care routine starts with the right shampoo. For the best results, choose a shampoo that is kind to your scalp, like Gisou’s Honey Gloss Ceramide Therapy Hydrating Shampoo. Powered by fermented Mirsalehi Honey and biomimetic ceramides,our 92% naturally derived hair wash is certified KIND TO BIOME. This means it’s microbiome-friendly and gentle on the scalp, ensuring a balanced and healthy foundation for stronger, glossier hair.
If your scalp is dry, you’ll want to be especially careful to avoid overwashing. If your scalp is oily, avoid harsh shampoos that can strip away the natural oils and trigger even more oil production.
Pro tip: Use a scalp massager with your shampoo to gently exfoliate the scalp, remove excess oils and boost circulation for a refreshed, balanced scalp and healthier-looking hair.
4. Add nourishing treatments to your routine
If healthy, shiny hair is your goal, adding weekly deeply nourishing hair treatments should definitely be a part of your hair resolutions. Hair mask treatments are an easy at-home method that can help tackle specific hair concerns such as damage, dullness and dryness and improve the overall appearance and health of your hair.
Hair Mask Treatment
Use our Honey Gloss Ceramide Therapy Hair Mask when your hair is in need of a deep hydration boost. Apply a generous amount of the Honey Gloss Hair Mask to damp or dry hair from mid-lengths to ends. Leave on for 5-7 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with cool water.
For a more nourishing treatment, apply to dry hair from mid-lengths to ends. Leave in overnight, then wash your hair the next morning with shampoo and conditioner. Repeat once a week for optimal repair and restoration.
5. Take a break from heat styling
We all know that heat is one of the main causes of hair damage. Heat strips the hair of moisture, lifting and cracking the hair’s cuticle, making it more vulnerable to breakage. This is why giving your hair a break from heat styling - blow drying and using heated styling tools - is a good idea.
If you have curly hair, you can enhance your natural curls on the days you’re taking a break from heat styling. If your hair is straight or wavy, there are plenty of ways you can add curls and texture to your hair using heatless styling hacks alongside our Honey Milk 5-in-1 Styling Cream.
