Camille’s 10-Minute Clean Styling Protocol
Start by brushing your hair with a wooden comb to distribute natural oils, then wet it thoroughly. In the shower, massage a low-lather, sulfate-free botanical shampoo into your scalp with your fingertips—not nails—for two full minutes. Rinse with cool water, then apply a chamomile and aloe infusion as a leave-in mask: steep two chamomile tea bags in hot water, cool, and mix with two tablespoons of aloe vera gel. Work it through your lengths, then let it sit for five minutes while you wash your body.
Rinse with a final apple cider vinegar dilution (one tablespoon per cup of water) to close the cuticle and boost shine. Squeeze out excess water with a microfiber towel—never rub—then apply a pea-sized amount of rosehip oil to your ends. For styling, let your hair air-dry 80% of the way, then use a diffuser on low heat for five minutes, scrunching gently upward. Finish with a cool shot of air to set the gloss.
