With hair growth-stimulating products, consistent use is important; with hair care, hair cycling can be useful
Hair cycling is all about variety. With each wash, you alternate the products in your hair care routine, with the aim of making your hair as healthy as possible. Instead of using the same product at every wash, spread out your use and give your hair a chance to rest. By varying hair care products, different hair problems can be remedied, such as dryness, dandruff or oily hair. At the same time, the overall health and vitality of your hair is promoted. It is important to mention that hair cycling has nothing to do with the natural cycle of hair growth, although some people may confuse this.
Hair growth treatments versus hair care
It is important to distinguish between hair growth-stimulating products and regular hair care. With hair growth-stimulating products, consistent use is critical. The first results become visible after about three months, which is why we recommend using the same hair growth-stimulating products for a longer period of time. However, hair care products can be alternated, as they do not otherwise directly affect hair growth.

Alternation in hair care is essential for an effective hair cycling routine. You can alternate different hair care products, such as shampoo for cleansing your hair and scalp, conditioner for nourishing and detangling hair, hair masks for deep hydration, oils for the scalp, leave-in conditioners and various styling products. A typical hair cycling routine is all about flexibility and adaptability, observing the condition of your hair and scalp with each wash and choosing the products that best suit it.

Wash day 1: cleanse hair and scalp
Healthy hair starts with a clean scalp. During your first wash day, therefore, focus on cleaning your hair and scalp. You do this as follows:
