A hair schedule is essential to keep your hair healthy. Basically, it is a sequential treatment of the hair with specific and interspersed care. Therefore, a routine of steps is created depending on the needs of the locks.
In this sense, we all want well-hydrated and silky hair, but we forget that our strands also need to be nourished. In other words, hair loses vitamins, nutrients and proteins every day, which is why we must replace them. It’s as if your hair feels hungry and thirsty.
On the other hand, have you ever stopped to think that hydration alone is not enough? So it is! Our hair needs a hair schedule to be treated as needed. The coolest thing is that you can do it at home.
What is a hair schedule?
The hair schedule is divided into three stages, each of which is very important to achieve the goal of hair recovery. It is suitable for all hair types, requiring four weeks to completely restore hair health. After that, just maintain the scale as your hair reacts.
- Hydration: It is the best known of hair treatments. Furthermore, hydration is responsible for replenishing water and essential nutrients in the hair. This will prevent dryness, ensuring the hair’s softness and natural bounce.
- Nutrition: This treatment is to protect the hair against frizz, dryness and weakening of the hair fiber. Also, hair nutrition must replenish lipid, which is the natural oil in the scalp.
- Reconstruction: This treatment is for very damaged and elastic hair. Generally, when they are brittle, thin and porous due to chemical procedures. In this case, it is necessary to replace the protein in the hair, especially with keratin.
Hair schedule step by step
First of all, you need to know your hair. Whether it is straight, wavy or frizzy. Perhaps, understand if it gets tangled easily or has a lot of frizzy, unmoving strands.
Be that as it may, it is extremely necessary to understand how your hair deals with external factors. For example: Curly hair tends to be drier at the roots, so frizz is more likely.
1- Understand the texture of your hair
Have you ever heard someone say they have type 2B or 3C hair? Calm down, I’ll explain to you what it means. This theory was created by American hairdresser André Walker, who created hair types in codes to make choosing products easier. The numbers go from 1A to 4C.
Type 1 is straight hair, type 2 is wavy, type 3 is curly and type 4 is frizzy. The letters differentiate textures and curves.
2- Know what your hair needs
If even though you understand the structure of your hair, you still don’t know what it needs, take the porosity test. This way, you will know if your hair needs hydration, nutrition or reconstruction.
Pour some water into a transparent glass and throw your hair into it. Then, analyze the result according to the guidelines below.
3. Learn how to create your hair schedule
In general, the hair schedule table always starts with hydration. Meanwhile, during the month manage to balance hydration, nutrition and reconstruction. So that you can customize according to your hair’s needs, use the results of the previous test.
For example: Increase the quantity of the one you need most and reduce the other. Here in this table below there are three examples, one for very damaged hair, another for slightly damaged hair and finally for healthy hair. This way, it is possible to identify the difference in each phase of the wires. In short, each step achieves a goal.
4. Key assets to use at each stage
The main products can be used at each stage mixed with other creams or applied directly to the hair. Only the nutrition stage, specifically, has the options of moistening with vegetable oil applied to the hair before washing. As well as nighttime moisturizing applied to dirty hair before going to sleep and washing only the next day.
