When it comes to hair care, the beauty market offers a multitude of specific products for each texture. However, before guaranteeing well-hydrated locks, with a strong tone and away from split ends, for example, it is necessary to invest in a correct routine. At that moment, the hair schedule enters the scene.
THE CNN , Lucas Miranda dermatologist and member of the Brazilian Society of Dermatology, says that the schedule is a structured treatment that aims to recover and maintain the health of the hair, combining three main steps: hydration , nutrition and reconstruction . “It is adapted according to the specific needs of the hair, promoting greater resistance, shine and softness”, he points out.
But after all, does all hair require a hair schedule?
The answer is no. The technique, according to the professional, is best suited for hair that suffers from damage caused by factors such as the use of chemicals, excessive heat and pollution.
“However, even healthy hair can benefit from a schedule, as it helps prevent future damage and maintain hair visibility,” he adds. “The schedule enhances hair health by replenishing essential nutrients. Each stage of the schedule has a specific function”, he says.
Hydration, nutrition and reconstruction: understand the stages of the hair schedule
- Hydration: aims to replenish water and moisture in the hair, which is essential to combat dryness and ensure softer hair;
- Nutrition: replenishes lipids and natural oils, improving shine and reducing frizz;
- Reconstruction: replenishes proteins – such as keratin – and is recommended for more fragile and brittle hair, as it strengthens the hair structure.
Also to CNN , Thiago Martins biomedical, professor and master in Aesthetic Medicine, warns that carrying out the hair schedule incorrectly can cause damage to the locks.
“Excessive hydration can leave hair heavy and dull. Excessive nutrition can cause oiliness and product accumulation, making the hair opaque. Exaggerated reconstruction, on the other hand, can leave them stiff and brittle, as excessive keratin replacement tends to stiffen the hair fiber.”
Setting up a hair schedule at home
According to the expert, it is possible to create a hair schedule at home, with special attention to specific needs.
“If your hair is dry, hydration should be prioritized. For frizz and dull hair, nutrition is essential. Hair with breakage or deep damage requires reconstruction. Based on this analysis, it is possible to distribute the steps over the weeks, balancing the hair’s desires”, he states.
Although the order in which the technique is followed may vary, a common sequence begins with hydration, followed by nutrition and, finally, reconstruction. “Hydration can be done more frequently, while reconstruction, which uses proteins, should be carried out every 15 days or depending on the condition of the hair”, he adds.
“It is worth mentioning that scalp care is also essential for hair health, as it is the basis from which hair grows. A healthy scalp provides a suitable environment for the development of strong, resilient hair. When proper care is not taken, problems such as excessive oiliness, dryness, dermatitis and even hair loss can arise”, concludes Thiago.
