Why Your Hair Routine Suddenly Stops Working—And How to Fix It
Just when you think you've perfected your hair care routine, you realize it's no longer delivering the same results. You’re following the same step-by-step process, yet your hair isn’t behaving as it once did. The simple solution is to adjust your routine—but how do you determine the best approach?
Your hair's response on wash day is influenced by numerous factors, including the level of moisture retention, proper detangling, product choices, and overall hair care habits leading up to that moment.
For example, if you regularly wear protective styles for extended periods—such as two months without additional maintenance—your wash day routine will likely differ from someone who washes their hair multiple times a week.
How to Reset Your Hair Routine
To regain consistency in your results, I recommend keeping a detailed journal of the products and techniques that have worked for you in the past. Paying close attention to every detail can make all the difference.
Evaluate product changes – Identify which products you’ve stopped using and the reasons behind it.
Reintroduce effective products – If a product was beneficial but phased out, consider incorporating it again, unless there’s a valid reason not to.
Research compatibility – Your hair concerns may stem from product incompatibility, such as using oil-based products that don’t provide adequate hydration compared to water-based formulas.
