Camille’s 10-Minute Clean Styling Protocol
Start with a sulfate-free wash using a gentle cleanser that won’t strip your natural oils. I love a formula with rosemary hydrosol—it stimulates the scalp and adds a subtle shine. After rinsing, gently squeeze out excess water with a microfiber towel—no rough rubbing. Apply a leave-in conditioner with aloe vera to damp hair, then use a wide-tooth comb to distribute it evenly, working from ends to roots.
For styling, I either let my clients air-dry or use a diffuser on low heat. If you’re diffusing, cup the curls gently and lift toward the scalp to boost volume. Once dry, I finish with a few drops of argan oil warmed between palms, then scrunch it into the ends to seal in moisture and add gloss. The result is a soft, bouncy bob that holds its shape for days.
