A simple routine for curly hair: 3 steps to healthy, beautiful curls
A simple curl routine consists of three steps: gentle washing with a sulfate-free shampoo bar 2–3 times a week, conditioner on wet lengths after every wash, and protection at night with a satin pillowcase. When performed consistently, these three steps result in softer, more defined curls.
A good curl routine doesn’t have to be complicated. It needs to be consistent. With the right products and a few simple steps, you can achieve healthy, shiny curls without a long and complicated routine.
A simple 3-step routine for curly hair
1. Wash gently
Ocean Waves Shampoo bar is formulated specifically for curly and wavy hair. Sea salt provides natural texture and definition, while Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate cleanses gently without drying out the hair. Wash 2–3 times a week.
2. Add moisture with a conditioner bar
Apply DREAMY hair conditioner bar to wet lengths after washing. Leave it on for 3–5 minutes and rinse with cool water. For extra-dry or damaged hair: use it as a deep-conditioning treatment with a shower cap for 20–30 minutes, 1–2 times a month.
3. Protect your curls
Scrunch the curls upward with your hands while the hair is wet. Air-dry or use a diffuser on low heat. Sleep on a satin pillowcase to reduce friction and maintain curl definition overnight.
