Ritual

A practice kept for its own sake rather than for its completion.

Soumm · Practice

Definition

As Soumm uses the word: a small, repeatable practice valued for the attention it involves rather than the tasks it completes.

Distinguished from a routine, which is measured by whether the steps were done.

Why the distinction is used

Practices that give something back are the ones people maintain over years.

A note on evidence

Hair responds to many things at once: sleep, nutrition, hormonal changes, scalp condition and stress among them. Published here for education only; individual concerns should be discussed with a qualified healthcare professional.
