And while Mari shared this natural hair routine, she got candid with fan, adding that this process “Takes me foreverrrrr to do lol, so most times (and what you actually see on 95% of my stories/posts) is literally just wash and air dry.”
If you want to give Mari’s routine a try, here’s what she does: She starts by brushing through her hair to detangle it while it’s dry and then she hops in the shower.
Once in the shower, Mari soaks her hair and massages her scalp before working in her reparative hair wash.
She noted that she continues to detangle her hair with her brush while in the shower before she deep conditions, which she only does once a week.
Mari said that she leaves the deep conditioner in for a few minutes while she does other things, like her skin care routine or shaving.
After rinsing out her hair, she dries it off with a microfiber towel and grabs her post-shower hair products.
For this video, the Bachelor Nation star used a leave-in conditioner and curl control jelly alongside her diffuser on her blow dryer.
Mari finger combs the leave-in conditioner through and scrunches her hair upward so her curls and waves maintains their shape.
She then uses the diffuser on the low cool setting to continue to scrunch and dry her hair. As a special tip for getting volume Mari flips her head upside-down during this step.

The Bachelor Nation star repeats those same steps with the curl control jelly and continues to use the diffuser until her hair is dry.
Mari said the diffuser can create some frizziness, but because her hair takes so long to dry, she’d rather have some frizz than wait for it to air dry.
And outside of her natural hair routine, Mari shared some additional tips including using satin scrunchies, bonnets, and pillowcases to protect your hair and curls.
Her video quickly raked in hundreds of thousands of views and Mari commented on her post, writing, “I just want to say it makes me so happy to see y’all being so kind and sharing tips with each other!”
She also went through the comments and answered fan questions.
