Your Winter Hair Guide from PolishedMane

The holidays hit fast — even here in Long Beach, California, where winter feels more like a heat wave. Between events, photos, travel, and constant styling, this season is still the time when hair takes the biggest beating. Dry air, heat tools, and indoor heaters all work against healthy, shiny hair. Which is exactly why we’re bringing something new into the salon.

MEET ALLURAM

At Polished Mane, we don’t bring in anything we haven’t tested on ourselves, our clients, and our extension installs. Alluram checked every box:

• clean ingredients
• lightweight shine and softness
• plays well with blondes, lived-in color, and is extension-safe
• delivers real results outside of a salon photoshoot

We’re adding Alluram because it works beautifully alongside Oribe — not instead of it.
Clients get that soft Oribe luxury finish, and Alluram gives you that perfectly polished finish.

THE WINTER EDIT: THE 5 PRODUCTS WE’RE BRINGING IN FOR HEALTHY, SHINY, MANAGEABLE HAIR

1. High Shine Glossing Treatment

Think of this as your instant holiday glow. It boosts shine, smooths the cuticle, and gives your hair that expensive, glassy finish. Perfect before photos, parties, or whenever you want your color and extensions to pop.

2. Leave-In Conditioner

Your daily winter essential. It hydrates, softens, and makes your hair brushable without weighing it down. Extension-safe, color-safe, and perfect for keeping ends healthy in dryer weather.

3. Anti-Frizz High Shine Blowout Spray

Your blowout’s new ride-or-die. It protects against heat, blocks humidity, and keeps everything smooth with zero heaviness. If you love a sleek finish that lasts — this is your product.

4. Coconut Water Texture Spray

Soft, effortless texture without drying your hair out.
This gives that “undone but still polished” movement without the crunch or roughness most texture sprays cause. Perfect for adding body to finer hair or bringing life back to second-day styles — and it’s extension-safe.

5. Smoothing Cream

Winter frizz’s worst enemy.
This cream gives you sleek, silky hair with a clean, natural shine. It’s amazing paired with a blowout or used on dry hair to tame static and flyaways. It layers beautifully with Oribe, which makes it easy to customize your routine.

6. Silk Sleep Turban

This is how you make a blowout last. Silk keeps your hair smooth, holds the shape of your style overnight, and cuts down frizz. It also prevents tangles and matting at the root if you wear extensions. Extension or not, silk protects your style so you can actually wake up still looking polished.

2026 HAIR TRENDS WE’RE SEEING AT POLISHED MANE

1. Expensive Shine + Glassy Finish

Clients want hair that looks healthy, reflective, and high-end — not over-styled. Alluram’s shine products make this trend achievable at home.

2. Smooth Blowouts With Soft Movement

Think: clean roots, smooth mids, a soft bend at the ends. Effortless, polished, modern.

3. Low-Effort Luxury Hair

Minimal styling, maximum payoff. Shine, hydration, and clean lines are the focus going into 2026.

4. Fuller, Natural-Looking Hair With Extensions

Not dramatic length — believable fullness. Clients are budgeting for this and want solutions that blend seamlessly.

5. Healthy Hair Over Heavy Heat Styling

Better routines. Smarter products. Protection, moisture, and shine are the priority now.

6. Winter “Barrier Care” for Hair

Haircare is following skincare trends: protect, hydrate, seal. This is exactly what Alluram’s trio supports.

7. Soft, Blended Dimension

Lived-in blondes and brunettes are shifting toward more refined, subtle transitions with high shine.
