Camille’s 10-Minute Clean Styling Protocol
Begin with freshly washed, air-dried hair—about 80% dry is perfect. Spritz a rose hydrosol from root to tip to rebalance moisture, then warm a few drops of argan oil between your palms and smooth over the lengths. This creates a silky base that prevents breakage as you style.
Gather your hair at the nape of your neck, twist it gently into a loose rope, and wrap it into a low coil. Secure with U-shaped pins, tucking the ends under. For a softer look, pull a few strands loose around your face. Finish with a light mist of aloe-based setting spray, and let it air-dry completely. This heatless technique locks in the style while keeping your hair’s natural integrity.
