claw clip

Women’s hair clips, pack of 4: $11.99 (was $18.99)

Claw clips were all the rage in 2022, and for good reason. With so many relying on a unique sense of style to express their personality, claw clips have come into their own and created an easy way for people to capture that 90s cool girl vibe.

People wore them with low-maintenance hairstyles like half ponytails, messy buns, and braids, creating quick yet stylish looks. In 2023, claw clips don’t seem to be going away anytime soon. Used to complement a casual hairstyle or to evoke nostalgic vibes with a more formal look, they won’t be forgotten in 2023 either.

scalp care

As everyone in 2022 has started to fully embrace personal care, scalp massage shampoo brushes have become the latest indulgence. Their ability to evenly distribute hair care products while providing a relaxing massage has made them easily accessible and affordable, enjoyed by people of all ages and backgrounds.

Though initially dismissed as a fad, these handy little tools quickly gained popularity among hairstylists and beauty enthusiasts as people realized what a difference they could make. With their ergonomic design and low cost, Scalp Massage Shampoo Brushes were perfect for giving your scalp the luxurious treatment it deserves.

olaplex

Amazing before and after videos from influencers combined with celebrity endorsements, and it’s no wonder why these products have become so big. We will likely see even more advanced formulas released in 2023 as this trend continues; after all, you can’t follow a good hair care routine.

curls without heat

This style has become popular with the advent of sustainable hair styling tools, such as curling irons. Whether it’s soft beach waves or bouncy curls, beauty enthusiasts have found the freedom to find the perfect curl with minimal use of heat tools.
