Camille’s 10-Minute Clean Styling Protocol
Start with a sulfate-free cleanser suited to your porosity—I love a gentle botanical shampoo with rosemary or lavender. Massage the scalp with your fingertips, not nails, and rinse with cool water to seal the cuticle. Follow with a lightweight conditioner, focusing on the mid-lengths to ends, then rinse thoroughly.
After towel-blotting, apply a pea-sized amount of jojoba oil or a leave-in botanical cream to damp hair. If you’re air-drying, use a wide-tooth comb to distribute the product and let it set naturally. For a sleeker finish, use a round brush and a low-heat dryer, directing the air downward to smooth the cuticle. Finish with a cool shot of air to lock in shine and hold the bob’s shape.
