Hi guys—welcome welcome back. In this video I’m finally showing you my highly requested curly hair routine from start to finish, and I’m taking my hair from day nine (yes… we listen and we don’t judge) to hydrated, defined curls. I walk you through my full wash routine first: I wet my hair with warm water to open my cuticles, then I shampoo with Curlsmith Core Strength focusing only on my scalp. I always double cleanse (and sometimes triple cleanse depending on how dirty my hair is), and on the second cleanse I go in with a scalp massager because it leaves my scalp feeling incredibly clean. After that I deep condition with the SheaMoisture Intensive Hydration mask, detangle with a wide tooth comb, twist my hair into sections, and let the mask sit for 30 minutes. For my final rinse I use cold water to close the cuticles. Then we get into styling: I need my hair drench soaking wet, and I layer products using my “spraying hands method” plus raking—Mielle leave-in, a little Mielle rice water spray, Curlsmith gel, then Aussie Miracle Curls oil. I define with my Denman brush (pulling hair away from my scalp for volume), scrunch, and then diffuse on low heat since it’s freezing in New York. I finish with a little oil to separate clumps so my curls stay bouncy, shiny, and not crunchy.
