How to build a hair care schedule around wash days
A hair care schedule, known in Brazil as a cronograma capilar, rotates hydration, nutrition and reconstruction treatments, usually over four weeks. The trick is not to add extra treatment days, but to place each step on a day you already wash your hair.
Five steps to build it
- Write down the days you wash now, for example Monday and Thursday, or every other day.
- Set the balance from your hair: more hydration if it is dry, more reconstruction if it is damaged.
- Over 4 weeks, place one step on each wash day. Never put two reconstructions back to back.
- If you skip a wash day, move that step to the next one and shift the rest along.
- After 4 weeks, check how your hair feels and adjust the balance.
Example: washing twice a week
| Week | Wash 1 | Wash 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | Hydration | Nutrition |
| Week 2 | Hydration | Reconstruction |
| Week 3 | Hydration | Nutrition |
| Week 4 | Hydration | Nutrition |
When your wash frequency changes
Changing how often you wash does not mean starting over. Re-place the remaining steps, in order, on your new wash days.
