What is Hair Cycling?
Hair Cycling, this new trend inspired by a widespread practice in Japan, consists of setting up a hair cycle program with the simple aim of keeping your hair and scalp healthy all year round. This technique, which involves personalizing your hair care routine, is suitable for all hair types. Indeed, you can try the Hair Cycling method whether you have oily hair, dry hair, short or long hair, curly or straight. In practice, it involves alternating different hair care routines by changing shampoo, conditioner, mask or serum to cover all the needs of your hair as the seasons, age, environment, etc. change.
How to improve hair and scalp health?
Hair, like skin, is sensitive to variations, whether hormonal, environmental (temperature, humidity, pollution, etc.), but also related to age, lifestyle or even a change in hairstyle. So, whether you have oily, dry, curly, straight, colored, short or long hair... their needs are multiple and variable. The Hair Cycling method allows you to understand this and personalize your hair routine by adapting the choice of shampoos, conditioners, masks or serums to specifically meet the real needs of your hair at a given moment.
To have healthy hair, it is therefore essential to properly identify your hair's needs. To do this, do not hesitate to ask your hairdresser for help. For your part, look at the compositions of the hair care products you use and make sure that they are suitable to avoid, for example, greasing your hair too much or weighing it down if you already lack volume. When you decide to wash your hair, wash it in 2 or 3 steps. Shampoo, conditioner and hair mask are complementary treatments. Finally, it is advisable to apply some good practices such as letting your hair rest by avoiding washing it every day or massaging the scalp well.
Hair Cycling in practice: which treatments should I choose for my hair?
We recommend testing the Hair Cycling method over several weeks. Follow our expert advice to best personalize your hair routine.
1st week: detox program
Start your washing cycle by focusing on detoxification. You can perform a scalp scrub to eliminate impurities, aerate the roots, regulate sebum production and stimulate hair regrowth. Scalp scrub will also have the advantage of preparing the skin for the use of hair care products whose active ingredients will be more effective. To effectively cleanse your hair while taking care of the scalp's protective barrier, use the
Purifying Care Shampoo , formulated with a combination of mild surfactants and capable of eliminating up to 90% of impurities and sebum from the first application.
To restore the hair fiber after this first treatment and strengthen your hair, use a moisturizing treatment. Our
Fundamental Hydration Conditioner , infused with hyaluronic acid, will leave your hair hydrated, softer to the touch and shinier.
2nd week: deep repair
The second step of your program is to repair the hair fiber to limit hair loss linked to hair breakage. Indeed, over the course of coloring, brushing and using a hair dryer, straightener or other heating device, your hair can become weakened, appear dry and split and difficult to detangle. The
Anti-Breakage Moisturizing Care Shampoo is specially designed to take care of hair from root to tip. Enriched with sunflower oil and hyaluronic acid, it makes hair stronger, less brittle and healthier looking.
The
Repairing Balm Mask , composed of coconut oil and argan oil, is a nourishing treatment to repair split ends, help detangle hair and limit hair breakage.
3rd week: specific needs
After your shampoo, choose a treatment that is adapted to one of your hair's specific needs. If your hair lacks volume, for example, use
the Volumizing Conditioner , which improves the volume of your hair and makes it easier to style without weighing it down.
If your hair lacks shine or is prone to frizz, we recommend applying the
Hydrating Essence Serum after washing. This lightweight, leave-in hair treatment is made with a blend of nourishing emollients that can tame your hair for a softer feel and less frizz from the first application.
If you are used to choosing your hair care products based on your hair type, you now know that your hair's needs are more complex than you thought. The Hair Cycling method allows you to target all of your hair's needs by setting up washing cycles over several weeks and ensuring that your hair and scalp are healthy all year long.
