Here’s a simple step-by-step routine for moisturized, less frizzy wavy/curly hair:
Wash day routine
- Before shower
Put coconut oil or avocado oil on the lengths/ends for 30–60 minutes. Avoid too much on the scalp. - Shampoo
Wash your scalp only. Let the foam rinse through the ends. Use a gentle or moisturizing shampoo. - Conditioner
Apply conditioner from mid-length to ends. Detangle with fingers or wide-tooth comb. Leave 3–5 minutes, then rinse. - After shower
Don’t rub with a towel. Use a microfiber towel or cotton T-shirt and gently squeeze water out. - Leave-in conditioner
While hair is damp, apply a small amount of leave-in conditioner. - Curl cream
Apply curl cream to define waves/curls. Scrunch upward. - Oil seal
Add 1–2 drops argan oil or jojoba oil on the ends only to seal moisture. - Drying
Air dry, or use diffuser on low heat/low speed. Don’t touch hair while drying.
Between wash days
Spray hair lightly with water, then apply a tiny amount of leave-in conditioner or curl cream. Finish with 1 drop oil on ends if needed.
Weekly
Use a deep conditioner/hair mask once a week for 10–20 minutes.
Best simple combo: leave-in conditioner + curl cream + argan oil on ends.
