A complete guide to the best curl routine


Curly hair, with its exceptional, unique beauty, sometimes requires a little extra care and attention. At Skins, we know that taking care of this hair type is a personal journey full of individual needs and products. In this blog, we share a step-by-step guide that optimises your curly hair routine. From the initial pre-treatment to the final finishing touch, learn how to give your locks the attention they deserve so you can enjoy beautifully defined, healthy curls every day.

Start by prepping the scalp

Curly hair often requires a comprehensive routine consisting of different types of hair products. During the week, we often add products to this to give curls a refresher. The frequent use of many hair products can sometimes result in irritation of the scalp, or build-up of product residue. Therefore, we recommend treating the scalp carefully before washing your curls. To do this, use Philip B's CBD Scalp and Body Oil, which effectively reduces redness and irritation of the scalp. About 30 minutes before showering, apply a few drops of oil to the scalp, gently massage it, and let it soak in.

Follow up your routine with a deep cleanse

Moisten the hair and apply Christoph Robin's Cleansing Purifying Scrub with Sea Salt to the scalp, massage until it starts to foam lightly, then rinse well. The scrub contains sea salt, which ensures that the scalp is intensively cleansed and all product residues are removed. In addition, the scrub contains soothing ingredients, making this product very suitable for sensitive scalps.

Take care of the scalp with a treatment shampoo

After deeply cleansing the scalp and removing product residues, we want to rehydrate it. We do this by adding a second cleanse to the routine. This is a milder cleanse that ensures the scalp is cared for. Try Virtue's Curl Shampoo, which protects against heat and reduces frizz. Alpha Keratin 60ku protein offers volume to finer hair, making it look fuller. Apply the shampoo directly to the scalp and massage the product in with Virtue's Flourish Manta Brush. The fine bristles of the brush stimulate blood flow to the scalp, resulting in a balanced scalp and optimal hair growth.

Moisturise the curls with a conditioner or hair mask

After cleansing the scalp, continue with a conditioner or hair mask. If your curls sometimes sag quickly, using a conditioner that does not further aggravate the hair but still provides sufficient hydration is advisable. Virtue Curl Conditioner is perfect for this. The conditioner not only conditions the hair but also protects the curls from heat and frizz. Could your hair use a little extra? Then use a hair mask now and then; it penetrates deeper into the hair and therefore offers ultimate hydration. Try Rahua's Hydrating Mask, a conditioning mask enriched with oils from the Amazon. Apply the conditioner or hair mask to the lengths of the hair and leave it on, then rinse thoroughly.

Expert Tip: Use warm water when washing your hair with shampoo. The warmth of the water causes the hair follicles to open, helping to cleanse the hair more intensively. By rinsing out your conditioner with cold water, the hair follicles close again, which helps to retain the moisture in your hair better. This ultimately results in hydrated and less frizzy hair.

Discover the magic of styling

Two elements are essential for styling curls: hydration and hold. With a curl cream, we condition the hair, and with a gel, we create defined curls. Start by applying Larry King Haircare's Nourishing Curl Enhancer. Enriched with conditioning oils and natural ingredients that enhance curls, this cream protects hair from humid conditions. The product adds volume, helps reduce frizz and offers protection against heat. Squeeze the product well into the hair and then apply Virtue's Curl Defining Gel. The hold of this gel will keep your curls looking great all day. Then, let the hair air dry or blow dry with a diffuser. Complete your routine with the Rahua Amazon Oil. Apply a few drops of oil to your hands and gently squeeze the curls to break up the gel's firming layer. This will reveal a beautiful, natural bunch of curls.
