The Skincare Approach to Hair: 4 Innovations for Shine, Strength, and Protection
The latest haircare launches show a clear shift toward hybrid formulas that nourish, protect, and restore, much like advanced skincare. These products lean on botanical extracts and biotech-driven actives to tackle frizz, boost shine, protect against heat, and even support fuller-looking hair.
Aveda – Miraculous Oil High-Shine Hair Concentrate
Aveda, known for its plant-powered approach and commitment to sustainability, introduces a concentrated hair oil designed to boost radiance and manageability. Infused with Tsubaki seed oil, Daikon seed oil, and Camelina oil ferment, this formula instantly delivers 195% more shine and 2x smoother hair, while offering heat protection up to 450°F. With its lightweight finish and signature pure-fume™ aroma crafted from 25 botanicals, it’s both a treatment and a sensorial ritual.
Pacifica – Smooth Seas Style Prep Smoothie
Pacifica brings a playful, ocean-inspired take on leave-in care. The Smooth Seas Style Prep Smoothie is packed with blue sea kale, Irish moss, and nori for marine hydration and strengthening. Combined with Kalahari melon seed oil and tamanu oil, this lightweight smoothie tames frizz, smooths texture, and enhances softness without buildup. Its soft vanilla and ocean breeze scent adds an uplifting touch, making it ideal for frizz-prone waves and curls.
Nécessaire – Rosemary Serum
Best known for minimalist, body-focused care with a clean aesthetic, Nécessaire expands into scalp care with the Rosemary Serum. Featuring 70% rosemary water, oil, and extract along with 5% Capixyl™ peptides, this daily-use serum supports fuller, denser, healthier-looking hair. Proteins and ceramides strengthen both scalp and strands, while the clear, quick-dry texture ensures no residue. The focus on rosemary—a time-tested botanical—bridges tradition with clinically backed innovation.

K18, a brand built on biotech breakthroughs, introduces the HeatBounce Conditioning Heat Protectant, designed to defend hair against deep structural damage. Powered by resilicore™ technology, inspired by proteins that withstand extreme heat, it penetrates into the inner cortex to fortify where breakage starts. The conditioning blend detangles, softens, and smooths, while reducing breakage by 85% after blow drying. This heat protectant redefines protection, making it more reparative than surface-level.
