Nacho Typical Curly Hair Routine: Real Talk, Tips & Swifty Vibes

Let’s get one thing straight (well, not too straight) — curly hair takes work. In this special bonus episode of Nacho Fitness Coach, things take an unexpected twist as Caleigh and Sara dive headfirst (literally) into their curly hair routines. From Taylor Swift vibes to upside-down towel rituals, no strand is left unturned.

Whether you’re a seasoned curly-haired queen or just discovering your texture, this episode is full of laughs, product recs, and the kind of trial-and-error that every curly girl can relate to.

What We Covered:

💁‍♀️ Curly Hair Identity Crisis

• Caleigh finally embraces her natural curls after years of assuming she just had “wavy” hair.
• Sara’s been a curly girl for life — but you wouldn’t know it, thanks to her trusty extensions.

🌀 The Step-by-Step Routine (Spoiler: It’s Intense)
Caleigh drops her full daily curly routine, including:

• Gym ➝ shower ➝ condition the ends only
• Comb upside-down in the shower with a wide-tooth comb
• Microfiber towel wrap (no terry cloth allowed)
• Apply Kinky Curly Custard using the praying hands method
• Optional: Go full ‘90s with LA Looks gel for extra hold and volume
• T-shirt wrap technique, followed by upside-down diffusing
• Finish with hair oil — clapped in, not rubbed (frizz is the enemy!)

💬 Sara’s Take:
Sara swears her curly hair routine is way faster than straightening. Her day-to-day?

• Wash only once or twice a week with clarifying shampoo
• Microfiber towel, air dry, then oil if needed
  No diffusing unless she’s got a hot date!

🧴 Product Shout-Outs

• Suave Conditioner: The underrated hero for co-washing
• Garnier Fructis Pure: Great for greasy roots
• Shampoo bars: Surprisingly effective, especially with extensions
• Conditioner bars? Meh. Hit-or-miss for curl definition.

🤷‍♀️ The Struggle Is Real

• Curly routines aren’t one-size-fits-all.
• What works for one hair type might wreck another.
• The learning curve can be frustrating, but it’s also empowering.
