Camille’s 10-Minute Clean Styling Protocol
Start with freshly washed, air-dried hair (about 80% dry). Spritz a rose hydrosol to add slip and a subtle shine, then work a pea-sized amount of argan oil through the mid-lengths and ends. This botanical base keeps the hair supple and prevents breakage when you style.
Next, apply a light aloe vera gel to your palms and smooth over the surface to tame flyaways. Gather the hair at the nape, twist it into a loose coil, and secure with U-shaped pins, leaving two face-framing strands free. For a heatless finish, let the updo set for 10 minutes, then gently loosen a few pieces around the crown for a romantic, effortless vibe. No heat, no damage—just pure botanical care.
