Camille’s 10-Minute Clean Styling Protocol
Start by washing with a sulfate-free shampoo—I love one with rosemary hydrosol to stimulate the scalp. Apply a lightweight conditioner, then rinse with cool water to seal the cuticle. Gently squeeze out excess water, and while your hair is soaking wet, rake a pea-sized amount of argan gloss through the mid-lengths to ends. Don’t touch the roots—that’s where the volume lives.
Plop your curls in a cotton t-shirt for five minutes to remove excess water without frizz. Then, either air-dry or use a diffuser on low heat, scrunching upward to encourage curl definition. Once dry, flip your head over and spritz the roots with rosemary hydrosol for a lift. I always tell my clients: never brush curly hair dry—use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb in the shower only.
