A hair schedule isn’t a big deal, you just need to understand your hair’s needs. And that’s what you’re going to learn now.
Hair schedule, you may have heard about it, but do you really know how it works? Don’t worry, we’ll explain what it is and how to do it in your home. It may seem complex and difficult, but the truth is that the schedule is simply a hair care routine.
But what do you mean a routine? You might be thinking, “but I already have my routine”. It turns out that the schedule seeks to meet the specific needs of each hair.
Basically, because each hair has its own specificity. The hair may be dry, brittle or discolored. Each of these characteristics requires different care and that is what the schedule is for.
Reconstruction, hydration and nutrition
The hair schedule is divided into three stages: reconstruction, hydration and nutrition. The step that should be prioritized is defined by the curvature of the thread and its texture. You just need to analyze how your hair is doing to find out which step is necessary.
Hydration
For example, if your strands are dull and dry, your hair needs hydration. It is at this stage that the water in the strands is replenished, which restores the hair’s shine and softness.
Nutrition
If your hair is porous and very frizzy, this means it needs to be nourished. Nutrition is generally carried out with more oily products and even moisturizing that returns the oil that is necessary to keep the hair healthy and aligned.
Curly hair generally needs this step a lot, as the curvature of the strands does not allow the oil produced on the scalp to reach the ends.
Reconstruction
Now if your hair is falling out a lot and looks fragile, it needs reconstruction. In this stage, the hair mass, keratin and all the proteins that are lost when we use a chemical process on the strands are replaced.
Contrary to what many people imagine, the reconstruction process does not leave hair soft and shiny. The rigid appearance is a reflection of the process that has just been carried out, after all, you rebuild the hair fiber.
How to structure my hair schedule?
The hair schedule is structured weekly, one specific treatment per week.
To find out what your hair needs most and define your routine you can do the porosity test, for this you will need a glass of water and a strand of hair.

Place the wire inside the cup and wait a moment. If the hair floats, it means you need to focus on hydration.
If it stays halfway and doesn’t reach the end of the cup, it means it needs nutrition.
If the thread sinks completely, it means it needs reconstruction.
Tips on what to use
By following the hair schedule, your hair will respond better to care, as you will be meeting its specific needs. It is likely that after some time you will notice your hair healthier and more beautiful.
And don’t think it’s very difficult to do this. You can carry out all the steps in the schedule with products you probably already have at home.
Fruits, for example, can be used in the hydration phase. Oils, such as virgin olive oil itself, can be used in the nutrition phase and eggs can be used to rebuild hair.
See how easy it is? You don’t need to spend tons of money on creams to have beautiful, healthy hair.
