Camille’s 10-Minute Clean Styling Protocol
Start with a sulfate-free shampoo, focusing only on the roots, and let the suds rinse through your ends gently. Then, apply my chamomile hydrosol as a leave-in—it calms the scalp and preps the hair for moisture. Follow with a pea-sized amount of argan oil, emulsified between your palms, and rake it through mid-lengths to ends.
Now, the drying: don’t touch your curls with a towel. Instead, use a microfiber cloth to squeeze out excess water, then flip your head and diffuse on low heat for 10 minutes, using a bowl-shaped motion to encourage the curls to form. Finish by letting it air-dry for the last 20 minutes, and gently scrunch in a few drops of aloe vera gel to lock in the shape.
