Camille’s 10-Minute Clean Styling Protocol
Start with a sulfate-free wash, focusing on the scalp. Massage gently with your fingertips, then rinse with cool water to close the cuticle. Apply a deep conditioner with shea butter and let it sit for 10 minutes under a shower cap—your curls will thank you. Rinse and blot with a microfiber towel, never rub.
While hair is damp, rake a small amount of marshmallow root leave-in through from roots to ends. Then, using a wide-tooth comb, define your curls in sections. For styling, I love a low-heat diffuser on a cool setting—hover it around your head, don’t touch the curls. Let it air-dry the rest of the way, then gently shake at the roots for volume. No brushing, no fuss.
