The capillary schedule is a type of intensive hydration treatment that can be done at home or at the beauty salon and is particularly suitable for people with damaged or curly hair who want healthy and hydrated hair, without having to resort to chemicals, and without there is a need to perform straightening, permanent, brush and board.
This schedule lasts 1 month and right at the end of the first week you can notice a big difference in the before and after of the hair, because it is much softer, hydrated and shiny, even the day after having done the hydration, nutrition or reconstruction.
How to make
The capillary schedule can be done according to the characteristics of the hair and what you need to stay nourished. A good way to know if your hair needs hydration, nutrition or reconstruction is to test the porosity of the hair, placing a hair in a glass of water. If the wire floats, it needs hydration, if it stays in the middle it means it needs nutrition and sinking it needs reconstruction. See more about the yarn porosity test.
Thus, according to the characteristics and needs of the hair, it is possible to make the schedule, in which the hair must be washed 3 times a week, and in each wash one of the treatments that improve the appearance of the strands must be carried out:
Phase 1: When the hair is badly damaged
| Wash 1 | Wash 2 | Wash 3 |
Week 1 | Hydration | Nutrition | Reconstruction or Cauterization |
Week 2 | Nutrition | Hydration | Nutrition |
Week 3 | Hydration | Nutrition | Reconstruction or Cauterization |
Week 4 | Hydration | Hydration | Nutrition |
Phase 2: When the hair is slightly damaged
| Wash 1 | Wash 2 | Wash 3 |
Week 1 | Hydration | Nutrition or Wetting | Hydration |
Week 2 | Hydration | Hydration | Nutrition or Wetting |
Week 3 | Hydration | Nutrition or Wetting | Hydration |
Week 4 | Hydration | Nutrition or Wetting | Reconstruction or Cauterization |
For maintenance: when hair is healthy
| Wash 1 | Wash 2 | Wash 3 |
Week 1 | Hydration | Hydration | Nutrition or Wetting |
Week 2 | Hydration | Nutrition or Wetting | Hydration |
Week 3 | Hydration | Hydration | Nutrition or Wetting |
Week 4 | Hydration | Nutrition or Wetting | Reconstruction or Cauterization |
How long to do the capillary schedule
The capillary schedule can be carried out for up to 6 months, being possible to stop for 1 month, where it is enough to use shampoo, condition and comb cream, if necessary, and then you can return to the schedule. Some people have no need to stop the schedule because their hair is neither heavy nor oily. If this happens, it may be necessary to change the products and a hairdresser will be able to indicate what stage your hair is in and what is the most suitable schedule for your needs.
The ideal is that the hydration schedule is maintained for long periods because it is the best way to keep hair beautiful and hydrated, with frizz-free strands or split ends. A good indication that the treatment is working is not feeling the need to cut your hair, not even the ends.
When results can be seen
Usually in the first month of the capillary schedule you can notice a good difference in the hair, which is much more beautiful, hydrated and without frizz. However, when the hair is badly damaged due to the use of chemicals such as progressive, relaxation or permanent, the best results can be seen in the second month of treatment.
Those who are going through the hair transition and do not want to straighten their hair artificially can take 6 to 8 months to get their hair to be completely hydrated and with good definition of the curls, without having to resort to chemicals. But this is only possible if in addition to the schedule, there are daily care with the wires.
