Ouidad: The Curl Experts

Summer is ending , so now your curls and color have faded from the beach the pool and the sun! It’s time to refresh and renew!

Demi-Color is a wonderful way to refresh your curls or try something new for Fall. It is very low in ammonia, has a lot of conditioning properties and leaves no line of demarcation. This means that you don’t have to be committed to repeating the process, just have fun trying something new. As you know curly girls like it simple.

Deep shades are in! Chestnut and deep chocolate browns like Kim Kardashian, or just change it all together trying rich red shades.You can keep your natural shade or change ever so slightly…

At Ouidad Certified Salon, Salon Ciseaux in Winter Park, FL, we made the process  fast and easy. Hair is shampooed with Ouidad Waterworks Clarifying Shampoo , towel blotted, then color of choice applied. Timing is 20 minutes and what a new you…Because of the moisture factor it works on girls with curls. Giving you shine manageability, and longivity. Since Ouidad clients don’t shampoo as often the color will last longer, 6 to 8 weeks. So the next time you are in…Ask your stylist for a touch of color!

Ouidad Certified Salon: Salon Ciseaux

Well, I wish I was showing you what’s in my Louis Vuitton or my Chanel bag…..but it’s just my trusty Target purse!  I have a nice camel colored cross bodied bag that I bought from Target when I was out of town and the purse I had brought broke. Well the good thing is, I got a purse that I love and have been wearing it for about the past 3 months.

So what’s in my bag?

I HATE having dry lips, so anytime they feel a little dry, I put some of this on which happens to have natural Milk Protein and Honey in it.

2.5 oz. Botanical Boost Moisture Infusing and Refreshing Spray

I keep a sample sized Ouidad Botanical Boost on me for days when I need to spruce up my curls. This is definitely a must have for me to keep a refreshing spray on me.

bareMinerals is the EASIEST makeup to use. I love the fact that it is quick and easy. I keep a travel kabuki brush me and I am good to go.

MAC “Queen Bee” lipglass from the Naked Honey line from 2009. (photo via maccosmetics.com)

I just recently was at a CCO where they sell several discontinued makeup from several major brands such as MAC, Bobbi Brown, etc.. I found this perfect peachy shade called “Queen Bee” which is described as a mid-tone apricot with multidimensional pearl. I feel in love and I just found it in 2011…Where was I in 2009 when this came out?

I received this from a beauty blog giveaway and I have been in love ever since.  It has a felt tip pen and is super convenient so someone who isn’t that great at eye liner.  The Eye Ink glides on so smoothly AND it stays put throughout the day. Best thing is, it’s only $5.49!

Essential Earring Set from Forever 21 (photo via forever21.com)

My mother always gets on me about not wearing any earrings. A lot of times I rush out the house and forget earrings…and if my mother and I are together….she will pull into the mall or somewhere and stop and buy me earrings. I get the packs of 3 or 4 earrings from Forever 21 that has various colors like black, gold, pearl and silver so that way one of them will match with my outfit. The perfect solution…

Hair Elastics (photo via sallybeautysupply.com)

I always, always keep hair elastics (only the ones with the protective covering) at all times. I never want to be caught out in the rain, or maybe just a good hair day gone bad without them. It makes it easy and simple and I just throw my hair in a ponytail or bun.

Do you ever wake up frustrated because your curls have that flat “slept on” look and you don’t know what to do? Thankfully, you don’t have to hop in the shower and start a  hair washing routine from scratch. Instead, consider some of these quick and easy curl care tips to beat the morning hair blues:

Toss It!

Tossing your hair back and forth a couple of times when you wake up will help your curls bounce into the day.

Tie It!

If you do decide to wear your hair up at night for a bit of curl control, make sure you wear it in a high, loose ‘do. Use a scrunchie that won’t damage your hair or leave lines.

Spray It!

Ouidad’s Botanical Boost revitalizes your curl pattern in the morning without washing. You can also use it throughout the day as a curl booster. Don’t leave home without it.

Slip It!

Choose a pillowcase that will allow your hair to slip and slide at night. The smooth fabric of silk or satin will help prevent hair breakage and snagging.

See how easy it is for your curls to bounce back every morning?

No need for you or your curls to start off your day frustrated!
