What is hair cycling actually?

Hair cycling is a "new" method to ideally respond to your hair needs with different products.

That's when we noticed: This isn't really new for us curly-haired people. At least our Lockenbox subscribers have long known the advantage of having different products at home so that they can react with the right product at the right time.

Because that’s exactly what hair cycling is all about : responding individually to your hair needs with different product types (ingredients) at the right time .

Different hair needs and the right products for them

Hair cycling is about responding to your hair needs with the right products . What are your hair needs and which products should you use?

shapeless hair

Sometimes the curls are flat, shapeless and without volume. Then use products with proteins or add protein drops to your products. A clarifying shampoo can also free your hair of build-up.

Brittle hair

Sometimes your hair feels brittle and straw-like . Then it's time to use products without proteins . On such a day, use moisturizing conditioners or hair treatments without proteins and shampoos without proteins.

Itchy scalp

Does your scalp itch or is it prone to dandruff? Then use the scalp scrub more often to remove skin particles.

Hair Cycling in Styling Products for Curly Hair

Hair cycling doesn't stop with the washing and care routine. Paying attention to your hair's needs can also make a crucial difference when it comes to styling your curls .

Leave-in: This product is applied to damp hair after washing and gives your hair moisture and strength. Leave-ins are a care product that is suitable for almost all curly hair because they add moisture and often proteins to the hair. There are leave-ins with a lighter or more intensively nourishing formula , tailored to the respective hair needs. For a balanced care base, alternate between leave-ins with and without proteins .

Curl cream: For the perfect combination of styling product and moisturizer . The curl cream also gives definition to the hair. If you then use a curl gel, the shape of the curls and the moisture added will be locked in by the gel. A perfect care product and styling duo ! A curl cream also helps to prevent frizz and nourishes your curls with valuable ingredients. For a balanced care base, alternate between curl creams with and without proteins .

Curl gel: Curl gels give your waves and curls hold . When applied, the gel has a soft consistency and is very easy to spread. The gel then hardens and the curls can keep their shape perfectly. As a finish, the hardened gel film is kneaded out with your hands, leaving perfectly defined curls. A real all-rounder among the curl gels is the Magical Flaxseed Gel from Pretty Curly Girl without proteins. Add a few protein drops from the popular Chey Protein Drops to the gel in between.
