Build a Curly Hair Routine

Let’s be real—building a curly hair routine can feel so overwhelming.
There are a million voices on the internet telling you what you should and shouldn’t do with your curls. And honestly? It’s confusing AF.

But here’s the truth: it’s gonna feel difficult... until it gets easy. 💁🏽♀️
Once you understand the basics and stick to a simple curly hair routine, everything starts falling into place. These steps I’m about to share? They’re the real deal. No fluff, no drama—just the essentials your curls actually need.

Follow these and girl, you’re set. Ready? Let’s do this.

Step 1: Know Your Curl Type

Before we dive into products and techniques, it’s important to know what kind of curls you’re working with. Are you a loose 2B wavy babe, or a coily 4C queen? Your curl type will help you figure out what your hair actually needs.

🌀 Quick tip:

Fine, loose curls = lightweight products
Thick, coily curls = richer, more hydrating products

Knowing this from the start can save you so much trial and error.

Step 2: Gentle Cleansing Is Key

Repeat after me: “Clean doesn’t mean squeaky.”
Sulfate shampoos strip your curls of their natural oils, which is a big no-no. Your scalp needs a cleanse, yes—but your curls need moisture.

✨ Use this: Our Untangled Shampoo is a total game changer. It’s sulfate-free, lathers just enough, and leaves your curls clean, soft, and happy. Your scalp gets the love it needs—your curls get to keep their bounce.

Step 3: Deep Condition Like a Ritual

This is the part where your curls get their life back.
Deep conditioning once a week is non-negotiable. It helps repair damage, hydrates your curls, and makes detangling a total breeze.

💧 Try this: Our Hydrate Don’t Hate Deep Conditioner is packed with rich butters and oils (without the grease). Leave it in for 15-30 mins while you scroll, stretch, or binge a K-drama.

Step 4: Detangle Gently (Yes, Gently!)

Curly hair isn’t meant to be yanked or brushed dry.
Always, always detangle when your hair is wet and coated in conditioner. Start from the ends, and work your way up like the patient goddess you are.

🚫 Avoid: Detangling dry curls (unless you’re into breakage and frizz… and I know you’re not).

Step 5: Style on Wet Hair for Best Results

Now we style—and this is where the magic happens.
Apply your curl cream and gel while your hair is still wet. This helps lock in moisture and define your curls from the start.

🎀 Our power duo:

Define & Shine Curl Cream (for moisture + softness)
Aloe Vera Gel (for hold, shine, and frizz control)

Apply in sections using praying hands or raking method—whatever works for your curls.

Step 6: Diffuse or Air Dry (The Right Way)

Drying your curls properly can make or break your routine.
Air drying is totally fine, but if you want extra volume and definition, diffusing is your BFF.

🔥 Pro tip: Use a microfiber towel or a cotton t-shirt to scrunch out excess water—never a rough towel. Then diffuse on low heat and low speed. Flip your head upside down for max bounce.

Step 7: Protect Your Curls at Night

You did all that work—don’t ruin it while you sleep!
Use a satin bonnet or a silk pillowcase to reduce friction and keep your curls frizz-free and fabulous till morning.

💤 Must-have: Our Slip Satin Pillowcases and Bonnets are literal lifesavers. Wake up with curls that still look styled, not squashed.
