What is Hair Cycling?

Hair cycling is an innovative approach to hair care that involves rotating different hair care products to address the evolving needs of your hair and scalp. Just as your skin has changing requirements based on factors like weather, lifestyle, and stress, your hair and scalp also benefit from a varied and responsive care routine. By alternating between products with distinct functions, you can help maintain a balanced scalp, prevent buildup, and ensure your hair receives comprehensive care tailored to its specific needs at different times.

How Does Hair Cycling Work?

Hair cycling works by incorporating a mix of products designed to perform various roles, such as detoxifying the scalp, boosting volume, smoothing frizz, and repairing damage. This approach can help you avoid overloading your hair with a single type of product, which can lead to issues like buildup and reduced effectiveness over time.

Here’s how you can integrate Freewill products into a hair cycling routine:

Example Hair Cycling Routine

Week 1: Detox and Clarify

• Scalp & Detox Shampoo: Start your week with a deep cleanse using the Scalp & Detox Shampoo. This product helps to remove buildup, excess oil, and impurities, leaving your scalp refreshed and revitalized. It’s a great way to prepare your hair for the rest of your routine.

• Restorative Repair Conditioner: Follow up with the Restorative Repair Conditioner to provide deep hydration and nourishment. This conditioner helps to strengthen your hair and repair any damage, making it an essential step after detoxifying.

Week 2: Volume and Strength

• Volume Boost Shampoo: For the next phase, switch to the Volume Boost Shampoo. This shampoo helps to add body and fullness to your hair, perfect for those looking to enhance their natural volume.

• Curls & Coils Conditioner: Pair the volume boost with the Curls & Coils Conditioner. This conditioner is designed to provide moisture and definition, especially for curly and coily hair types, ensuring your hair remains hydrated and bouncy.

Week 3: Smooth and Sleek

• Smooth & Sleek Shampoo: Use the Smooth & Sleek Shampoo to tame frizz and provide a sleek finish to your hair. This shampoo is ideal for smoothing out the hair cuticle and reducing flyaways.

• Color Care Conditioner: If you have color-treated hair, the Color Care Conditioner can help maintain the vibrancy of your color while providing the smoothness and shine you desire.

Week 4: Intensive Repair and Nourishment

• Restorative Repair Shampoo: Return to the Restorative Repair Shampoo for a week of intensive care. This shampoo is enriched with ingredients that help repair and restore the health of your hair from the inside out.

• Blonde Care Conditioner: If you have blonde or highlighted hair, the Blonde Care Conditioner helps to maintain your color's brightness and prevent brassiness while deeply conditioning your hair.

Incorporating Skinification into Your Hair Routine

The concept of "skinification" of hair involves treating your hair and scalp with the same level of care and attention you give to your skin. This means focusing on hydration, nourishment, and protection, ensuring your scalp is healthy and your hair is strong and vibrant.

Key Steps in Skinification:

• Cleansing: Use products that cleanse without stripping essential oils.
• Hydration: Incorporate conditioners and masks that provide deep moisture.
• Protection: Use serums and treatments that protect from environmental damage.
