Hair calendars started making noise on TikTok during the latter half of 2024. In these videos, Black women detail the different hairstyles they intend to do throughout the upcoming year in a bid to take the stress out of deciding on a style and keep hair “done” all year round. As part of the hair calendar, Black beauty creators also share their hair goals, from retaining length and sticking to a healthy hair routine to rebranding their image. When I first started seeing these videos, I thought, “This is genius; why hasn’t anyone thought about doing this before?” It’s such a simple concept, but it had never crossed my mind to plan out my hairstyles months in advance.
