Ouidad: The Curl Experts

Thanks to Gregzweb.com for the image.

Earlier this summer, we shared some expertise for taming your mane in the seasonal heat. But with more humid weather on the horizon, you’re certain to end up at the beach, in the pool, and out in the sun more often – and the dog days of summer will surely come nipping at your curls! Mount a defense with these hints from Ouidad:

• Before you swim, run a conditioner through your hair. The extra moisture will reduce the amount of damaging chlorine your hair absorbs. For extra protection, slick the conditioner through your hair like you’re making a ponytail.
• After you swim, use a gentle shampoo that removes chlorine, like Ouidad Water Works.
• Beat the heat! Avoid thermal tools like flat irons and hair dryers if possible – these squeeze precious moisture from your hair. Since the heat will dry your hair faster, don’t touch it while it’s drying – if you use a product like Ouidad Climate Control, the frizz will be controlled and the humidity will actually help give your hair volume.
• Cover up. If you can’t keep away from that ultimate thermal tool, the sun, keep your locks under wraps with a fashionable scarf or a wide-brimmed hat. Also, use a product like Ouidad Sun Shield that has small molecules to reflect sun damage away from hair and keep it moisturized.
• Get those soft curls. The one kind of summer hair everyone wants is soft, sexy, beachy waves. Apply a small amount of Ouidad Climate Control, set your hair in Velcro rollers, and you can get them whenever you want.

Your curls don’t have to suffer for you to enjoy the summer. With a little bit of TLC, you can have defined, bouncy, gorgeous hair no matter the weather!
