Camille’s 10-Minute Clean Styling Protocol
Start with a sulfate-free shampoo that won’t strip your natural oils—my go-to is a rosemary and aloe blend. Massage it into your scalp with your fingertips, not nails, to stimulate circulation without irritation. Follow with a lightweight conditioner, focusing on the mid-lengths to ends, and rinse with cool water to seal the cuticle and boost shine.
After gently towel-drying, apply a few drops of jojoba oil to your palms and smooth it through the ends. For styling, I recommend air-drying or using a low-heat diffuser on a cool setting—this preserves your hair’s moisture and prevents frizz. Once dry, use a wide-tooth comb to gently lift the roots for volume, then tuck the bob under your hijab with a silk scarf lining to minimize friction.
