New Year, New Haircare Routine

January is a good time for small, practical hair care changes, nothing complicated, just a few habits that help everyday hair feel easier to manage.

1. Detangle with care

Brushing with a rough or harsh hairbrush is often where damage starts. Hair stretches and snaps when knots are forced apart, especially when it’s dry, textured, or wet. Switching to a gentler brush can genuinely change how your hair behaves over time.

The The Belle Brush Original is designed for everyday use across all hair types and is extension-friendly. Its soft dual bristles help detangle without pulling, smooth the hair, and enhance shine, without causing damage. It’s one of those tools that quietly improves hair health simply because you use it daily.

The The Baby Belle offers the same benefits in a softer, more flexible design. It’s ideal for fine or fragile hair, sensitive scalps, and is especially loved by little ones. The flexible head helps reduce tension while brushing, making it a gentler option for anyone who finds brushing uncomfortable.

If brushing hurts or feels aggressive, that’s usually a sign to make the switch.

2. Upgrade to silk

Have you ever noticed a line of breakage or a deep crease where your hair tie sits? Traditional elastic and satin hair ties can cause more damage than we realise, especially when used daily.

Our Silk Scrunchies are made from 100% mulberry silk, which is naturally smooth and gentle on the hair. Mulberry silk creates less friction, meaning fewer creases, less breakage, and less stress on fragile strands. It also doesn’t pull or snag, making it ideal for wearing hair up.

Silk isn’t about being delicate, it’s about reducing unnecessary friction where you can.

3. Use the right styling tools

Understanding how to style your hair is often the finishing touch in showing off your healthiest, strongest hair. Gentle techniques paired with the right tools can make styling more controlled and far less damaging.

• The The Smoothing Brush helps create sleek, controlled styles while smoothing frizz and flyaways.

• The The Wave Comb is designed to maintain the structure of waves, perfect for Hollywood waves. Flip it around and use the pointed end to create softer, beach-style texture.

• The The Flexi Comb is a true multi-use tool. It’s especially good for gently adding volume at the roots through light backcombing, or helping curls hold by softly backcombing from the ends upward.

Often it’s the little things that make the biggest difference.
