Are you a man sporting naturally handsome curls? If so, you’ve come to the right place. Ouidad makes it easy for men with curls to live frizz-free! Here’s how:

1. Ban the brush

Brushing curls is a mistake a lot of people make each morning. Unfortunately, if you do this when your hair is dry, it can lead to unwanted frizz. Instead, try gently running your fingers through your curls in an effort to bring back the bounce. Or try our Double Detangler which helps keep your locks frizz-free.

2. Learn which product works for you

So many men are afraid to wear anything but gel in their hair. However, it’s perfectly acceptable to use whatever product will make your hair look and feel great. A product like our Botanical Boost will revive your curls and help fight frizz.

3. Let your hair fly free

Don’t be afraid to sport your curls around town. This is easy to do when you know how to care for your curls. Next time, leave the hat or elastic band at home and feel what it’s like to live with curl confidence.

Go curly!

The Marx Brothers—Groucho, Chico, Harpo, Zeppo and the lesser known Gummo—were known for the wild stage and film antics in their comedies, made in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. Each brother had a different showbiz “character” and a trademark personality. Our favorite? Why Harpo, of course! With his signature curly hair, a top hat and his horn, Harpo’s curly character stole the show in nearly every scene … and all without speaking a line!

So what about this curly Marx brother’s hairstyle? Well, when Harpo was young and not “in character,” his hair was a nice brown color and the curls were dense and —dare we say it?—rather sexy!

But later, as he performed as the loveable but mischievous Harpo in the classic Marx Bros films and stage productions, Harpo favored that famous and zany curly wig that can only described as outrageous! It definitely worked for his character—and makes a great Halloween costume still today—but we would not recommend the hair style to our Ouidad clients!

Harpo’s name was actually Arthur Marx; he was a gentle and talented member of the popular and brilliant theatrical family.  As his son notes on his website: “There were two Harpos—the actor and the man.  The actor was the one who horsed around with his brothers and pulled all sorts of junk from that bottomless pit of a trench coat. But it was also the dedicated family man who sat down and played the harp.”

So here’s to Harpo (or Arthur) … may his curls live on as some of the most notable and hilarious in entertainment history!

Ouidad has shown us that curly hair can be styled quick and easy. Good thing for actor John Turturro, who seems to be always busy at work. Throughout a career that has spanned four decades, the talented curly-haired Italian actor has appeared in films ranging from The Big Lebowski and Barton Fink to The Nutcracker in 3D

And just since 2009, Turturro has starred in six films (including upcoming 2011 releases, Transformers 3 and Somewhere Tonight). He has also directed the movie, Passione, served as writer and director of the Italian film,Prove per Una Tragedia Siciliana, and played himself in the documentary Lost Bohemia. Those curls better be easy to handle!

John refuses to be pigeon-holed, and he spoke about the variety of roles he has played –

I knew that movies were predicated on how you look.
But a few people gave me the opportunities to do other
[types of roles] and I just took it and ran with it.

Here at Ouidad we can’t help but think John’s curls have helped propel the cerebral, award winning actor into a variety of sophisticated and entertaining roles. And always working? Credit the curls!
