Camille’s 10-Minute Clean Styling Protocol
Start with freshly washed, air-dried hair—about 80% dry is ideal. Apply a pea-sized amount of argan oil to your palms and smooth it over the mid-lengths to ends. Then, gather your hair loosely at the nape, twist it upward in a relaxed spiral, and secure with a claw clip. The goal is a gentle lift, not a tight pull.
For a chignon, create a low ponytail with a soft scrunchie, twist the length into a loose bun, and clip it in place. Let your hair finish drying naturally or use a diffuser on low heat for 5 minutes. This low-tension technique keeps ends protected and reduces breakage, especially overnight—just wrap your hair in a silk scarf before bed.
