Y’all voted for it, so here it is: my updated winter curly hair routine for 2025—because my hair has been SO dry lately (like… dry as the desert outside). In this video I walk you through exactly what I do to get soft, hydrated, frizz-free curls in the winter, even when the air is sucking every bit of moisture out of my hair. The biggest thing I’ve learned recently is that my hair is pretty thin, and my routine had way too many steps, which was weighing my curls down and making them sag. So I simplified everything and focused on lightweight moisture. I start on dripping-wet hair (iconic wet hair t-shirt on my lap, always), then rake in a super lightweight, moisturizing leave-in (the “blue Skala” I finally tried), add a little mousse to keep the curl clumps clumping, and then brush style in sections for volume and definition. I finger coil the front pieces because I like them extra defined around my face, then I go in with a harder-hold gel since my other products are so light. My biggest winter tip: I wait about 10 minutes before diffusing because my low porosity hair gets frizzier if I dry it immediately. Once I diffuse, I’m basically done—no oil needed to scrunch out the crunch with this routine.
