My Simple Curly Hair Routine in this video

Step 1: The Essential Clay Wash

Start your routine with a clay wash, renowned for its ability to cleanse and enhance your natural curl pattern. Before jumping on the bandwagon of the latest product trends, test what you already have. Try new products on thoroughly clarified hair. This clay wash became a staple for me after months of experimentation. Remember, it’s about what’s truly effective—not just what’s popular.

Step 2: Deep Conditioning with Intention

Deep conditioners are crucial, but before you buy the one everyone raves about online, consider your unique hair needs. My go-to conditioners deliver a perfect balance of moisture and protein. Your curls will thank you when you choose products based on their needs, not online hype.

Step 3: Simplifying with Multi-tasking Products

When it comes to styling, less is more. Opt for products that serve multiple purposes, like a styling cream that moisturizes and a gel that locks in curls. More products don’t always equal better results; focus on performance and simplicity.
