How To Hair Cycle
-
Step 1: Detox (Wash 1)
First, use the Clarifying Detox Shampoo to deeply cleanse excess oil, impurities and pollution from your hair and scalp. This product gently removes buildup and balances hydration without stripping your hair.
Next, use the Clarifying Detox Conditioner. This lightweight yet hydrating formula boosts scalp health and invigorates hair. It also helps to further remove impurities while infusing hair with the power of aloe, peppermint, charcoal and nourishing oils.
-
Step 2: Repair and Nourish (Wash 2)
On your next wash, you’ll switch to the Restorative Repair Shampoo. Ultra-hydrating and fortifying, this formula improves overall hair health by using natural protectants.
After cleansing, use the Restorative Repair Conditioner to deeply moisturize. This works wonders, especially on dry or damaged strands, restoring the look of healthier hair.
For an extra dose of hydration, use the Overnight Restorative Mask. The intensively nourishing formula restores health, luster and strength.
-
Step 3: Smooth & Hydrate (Wash 3)
It’s time for a bit of a rest day. On your third wash, use only the Frizz Smoothing Shampoo to give your hair a break while still maintaining moisture. This product fights frizz and leaves your hair sleek, shiny and more manageable. Pair it with the Frizz Smoothing Conditioner if your hair needs an extra hydration pick-me-up.
Hair Cycling Tip
Keep in mind that Wash 2 is when you can start to get creative with your products. Feel free to incorporate what suits your hair needs (e.g. Color Preserve or Volume). You can swap out your Shampoo and Conditioner for ones from another targeted collection, depending on what you’re feeling on that wash day.
Supplementing Your Hair Cycling Routine
Now that you’ve got the basics down, you can start incorporating other products to tailor your routine to your specific hair goals. All Freewill products were designed to work in harmony — so no matter which combo you choose, you’re on your way to better hair days.
-
For Daily Hydration
You can use the Soothing Scalp Serum every day to maintain scalp health and hydration. The no-residue, water-based formula soothes dry, flaky scalps while balancing moisture and alleviating irritation.
-
For Easier Styling
Use the Repair Leave-In Conditioner and Detangler to reduce detangling time and mitigate the risk of damage while brushing and styling. This product also helps your hair retain moisture and softness between washes.
-
For Sleek Blowouts
Who doesn’t love rocking a fresh blowout? Take your look to the next level with the Frizz Smoothing Blowout Cream. The silky formula locks in moisture while styling, leaving your hair ultra-shiny, soft and smooth.
-
For Removing Buildup
Even after a good detox sesh, your hair and scalp can still retain buildup, especially if you have low-porosity hair. Use the Gentle Exfoliating Scalp Scrub once a week to cleanse and remove flakes and excess oils.
