Curly wavy hair

 Here’s a simple step-by-step routine for moisturized, less frizzy wavy/curly hair:

Wash day routine

  1. Before shower
    Put coconut oil or avocado oil on the lengths/ends for 30–60 minutes. Avoid too much on the scalp.
  2. Shampoo
    Wash your scalp only. Let the foam rinse through the ends. Use a gentle or moisturizing shampoo.
  3. Conditioner
    Apply conditioner from mid-length to ends. Detangle with fingers or wide-tooth comb. Leave 3–5 minutes, then rinse.
  4. After shower
    Don’t rub with a towel. Use a microfiber towel or cotton T-shirt and gently squeeze water out.
  5. Leave-in conditioner
    While hair is damp, apply a small amount of leave-in conditioner.
  6. Curl cream
    Apply curl cream to define waves/curls. Scrunch upward.
  7. Oil seal
    Add 1–2 drops argan oil or jojoba oil on the ends only to seal moisture.
  8. 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.
