Camille’s 10-Minute Clean Styling Protocol
Start with a sulfate-free shampoo, focusing only on your scalp. Then, apply a generous amount of aloe vera gel as a leave-in conditioner—it defines curls without crunch. Gently detangle with a wide-tooth comb while your hair is still dripping wet, then use a microfiber towel to plop for 10 minutes. This removes excess water and sets the curl pattern.
For styling, flip your head upside down and scrunch in a pea-sized drop of jojoba oil, then diffuse on low heat with a bowl diffuser. Keep the dryer moving, and don’t touch the curls until they’re 80% dry. Finish with a cool shot to lock in shine. I always say: low heat, low touch, high reward.
