Ari Lennox's bare-bones beauty routine is working for her

Her Instagram Lives are highly quotable. Her music has probably brought a few new humans into the world. Her beauty routine, though? Super- chill.

When I spoke to Ari Lennox, she was in the middle of a round of interviews to promote ‘If You Want Me to Stay, a new cover of the original Sly and the Family Stone tune. Ari appears on the song with Anthony Ramos.

At the moment, she’s focused on taking care of herself, which includes keeping her beauty routine pretty chill. Those gorgeous trademark curls? It turns out she doesn’t need to manipulate them much.

G: What are some of your favorite products to use on wash day?

ARI LENNOX: I use a natural shampoo that’s paraben-free and free of toxins and chemicals. Afterward, I [use] shea butter and grapeseed, olive or jojoba oil. I wash [my hair] whenever I feel like I need to.

G: Do you ever use curl enhancers?
