How to Get (Almost) Naked Curls- Your Softest, Shiniest Hair Yet
How to Get (Almost) Naked Curls- Your Softest, Shiniest Hair Yet
If you've ever wondered what your curls would look like without heavy styling products- but still healthy, defined, and glowing- you’re going to love this new curl routine.
Meet Barbie's Almost Naked Curls technique: a lightweight approach using just leave-in and water to bring out your hair’s natural shine, bounce, and shape. The Curl Wow Flo-etry Vital Natural Serum is at the center of it all.
Here’s how to recreate this ultra-natural look at home, and why it works way better than you might think.
What Are "Almost Naked Curls"?
Think of Naked Curls as curls without any product at all- raw, real, and untouched.
Almost Naked Curls? That’s your curl pattern… but better.
You’re still using product, but it’s so lightweight and curl-compatible that it looks and feels like your hair- just shinier, smoother, and more defined. No crunch, no buildup, and no weighed-down roots.
This new routine is all about minimalism with maximum impact. And yes, you can try it for yourself with this month’s featured product in Curls Monthly- the Curl Wow Flo-etry Vital Natural Serum.
The Almost Naked Curl Routine: Step-by-Step
Here’s exactly how to get this fresh, effortless look:
Step 1: Start With a Fresh Wash
Shampoo and condition your curls as usual. For best results, opt for lightweight, hydrating products that won’t coat your strands too heavily.
Step 2: The Bowl Method
Fill a bowl or sink with warm water. Then, mix in a good amount of Curl Wow Flo-etry. This is your magic serum, it mimics your scalp’s natural oils, adds slip, and helps distribute moisture evenly through your hair.
Step 3: Dunk & Brush
Dip your hair into the water-serum mix and brush it through while it’s submerged. A detangling brush works best for this step, it helps distribute product and water evenly so every strand gets attention.
Step 4: Scrunch, Don’t Skip
Once your curls are fully saturated, scrunch in the water and serum. Repeat 3-4 times to enhance your curl pattern and lock in definition.
Step 5: Air Dry or Diffuse
Let your curls dry naturally or diffuse on low heat. That’s it! You’re done.
But... Is It Really Just Leave-In and Water?
We know what you're thinking: How can just a leave-in and water give me curls this defined?
The key is in the formulation.
Curl Wow Flo-etry isn’t your average leave-in. It’s powered by Profaxil-18 Complex, a patented blend designed to mimic the structure of natural oils in your scalp. It gives your curls moisture and slip, without the greasy residue or heavy buildup.
So while this routine feels minimal, the results are anything but.
