My 6-Step Curl Routine for Defined Curls ✨”

MY CURL ROUTINE FOR DEFINITION 💕

Here’s exactly how I get soft, shiny & bouncy curls:

1️⃣ Spray bottle with water + a little oil to rehydrate

2️⃣ Detangle gently with my Tangle Teezer

3️⃣ Africa’s Best Herbal Oil to seal in moisture

4️⃣ Skala Divino Potão curl cream for hydration & frizz control

5️⃣ Cantu Define & Shine Custard + diffuse to dry

6️⃣ Finish with OGX Argan Oil to soften & remove crunch ✨

The result? Defined, moisturized curls that last all day 🥰
