Camille’s 10-Minute Clean Styling Protocol
Start with a sulfate-free shampoo, focusing on the scalp, then follow with a hydrating conditioner. While your hair is soaking wet, apply a leave-in with marshmallow root and a touch of shea. Use the ‘praying hands’ method to smooth, then scrunch upward to encourage curl formation. Gently blot with a microfiber towel—never rub.
Diffuse on low heat for about 10 minutes, keeping the dryer moving so you don’t over-dry one spot. Finish with a spritz of rosemary hydrosol to lock in definition and give your scalp a gentle wake-up. Let the hair air-dry the last 20% for a soft, natural hold. If you’re in a hurry, use a cool shot at the end to set the curls.
