What to do … all that hair, and those curls… blow them straight, pull them tight, go wild and free, condition, treat… feeling confused? Ouidad to the rescue!
First, a deep cleansing breath ….inhale…. ahhhhhhhh, exhale. Feeling better? Now step away from the brush, and let Ouidad show you how easy it is to have perfect curls.
Let’s review three basics:
1. Cut:
Do get a proper cut. If you can’t make it to NYC, LA, or a Ouidad salon, talk to your stylist; curls need a curl-cut. Carving and Slicing is Ouidad’s patented signature curl cutting technique, and the optimum way to bring those beautiful natural curls to their full potential.
Don’t get another choppy cut that leaves you with heavy clumps of curls that messes up your mane.
2. Cleanse:
Do wash and condition your hair. Ouidad says Rinse and RETREAT, not Rinse and Repeat; once is enough. Curls are delicate; less is more. Massage the shampoo into your scalp, working down the length of your hair with a rake-and-shake motion. Rinse the shampoo and move right to the conditioning. And don’t be shy with conditioner; Ouidad suggests using plenty of conditioner, and condition often.
3. Style: This is where you need to step away from the brush, and put your hands to work.
Ouidad says do position your hair with your hands while it’s wet, and let it air dry. But don’t keep touching your hair while it dries; touching disturbs the natural curl, causing unwanted frizz!
Ouidad reminds you to do let your curls thrive naturally and don’t overwork them, trying to “tame the mane”!
