We don’t know about you but since the pandemic hit, we’ve been experimenting with our hair. Overall, the pandemic has made a lot of people realize how dependent they are on clinics and beauty spas to keep their skin and hair healthy. Most of these people are wanting to take back their health and look after their hair, nails and skin in a more natural way. Whether this is through a Naturopath Kingston, homemade treatments, or testing different natural products, this process is definitely beneficial to our health.
Of course, this doesn’t mean we aren’t also using this time to experiment — cutting ourselves bangs, dyeing our hair the crazy colour we always secretly fancied or even trying out those harder straight weaves styles, we’ve gone a bit crazy! Some of us are trying to get used to outgrowing extensions, roots and maybe even just trying to embrace the natural look. Somewhere along the pandemic timeline, everyone has been tempted to try something a little different with their hair. Sometimes out of boredom, but mostly because being stuck at home means we can safely hide any hair mishaps we may experience. Thankfully there are lots of wonderful hair care products to get us back to healthy hair, no matter how much we experiment.
If you are in need of some hair rescue, look no further than these incredible haircare products from Neutrogena, Healium Hair, Soapbox Soaps, Ecoslay, Mother Dirt, TO112 (to-one-one-two), VitaClean, ATTITUDE Living, and Kinkistry. No matter your hair issue, these hair products can get you back to healthy hair. Get to know them all below.
1. Neutrogena Healthy Scalp Haircare Collection
There’s a song from the old movie/play, South Pacific, called “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair”. In 2021, we’re going to be washing 2020 out of our hair with the Neutrogena Healthy Scalp Haircare Collection. Thankfully you don’t have to wait until 2021 to begin this cleansing process. The four healthy hair cleansers are currently available at Walmart and www.walmart.com, with a national launch next year. The four daily shampoos and conditioners, available for $11.99 each, are clinically proven to cleanse and moisturize your scalp without stripping your hair strands.
These haircare formulas are infused with powerful skincare ingredients, like gentle micellar water and hydrating hyaluronic acid. They treat your roots, hair, and scalp with the same love you show your skin, every single day. The collection includes Hydroboost with hyaluronic acid, Clarify & Shine with pink grapefruit, Gentle & Soft with micellar water, and Soothe & Calm with tea tree oil.

3. Soapbox Soaps Haircare
Loving our hair is a wonderful thing. Now imagine if loving your hair also made the world a better place. It can, thanks to the amazing hair care products from Soapbox Soaps. You can help get soap bar donations to those who need it, as you say goodbye to build-up, dry scalp, and frizzy hair and hello to healthy hair. That’s right, with every Soapbox Soap purchase, like the above Tea Tree Hair Mask, Argan Oil Smoothing Serum, or even a Shampoo Bar, one bar of soap is donated to someone in need locally or globally. Soapbox Soaps has been doing this since 2010 and they go one step further by allowing you to find out the specific project that benefited from your purchase through their Hope Codes program. We’ll definitely be sharing more from this inspiring brand.
