Something is sizzlin’ by the pool this summer and it’s not just the sun. While the temperatures are climbing, and those luscious Latina locks are looking so good, curl envy is rising by the minute!

And everyone wants to know, especially las chicas, how you manage to keep those curls looking so good under the hot sun, and while slipping in and out of a chlorinated pool. Thankfully, it’s not that difficult and the recipe isn’t exactly a secret: Ouidad knows that it’s as easy as 1-2-3!

1. Love your curls. If you embrace your curls and love them as they are, you’re already well on your way to sporting pretty pool locks, because you understand your unique, curly personality.

2. Use the right products. At the pool, Ouidad’s Sun Shield Sun & Sport Leave-In Conditioner is your not-so-secret weapon that protects your curls against damaging environmental factors. It also helps to create softer, smoother, and shinier curls.

3. Gently towel dry your hair. A huge mistake Latina beauties make when getting out of the pool is roughly drying their hair. Check out this quick Ouidad video on how to gently towel dry your curls:

So take care of those curls this season, and don’t leave home without your Ouidad (and your sunscreen)! ¡Disfruta el verano!

It’s hard to believe, but the sizzlin’ summer sun and fun is here! The heat waves have started, and Ouidad is already getting questions from chicas around the country about how they can turn up the heat up on their own Latina waves this swim season.

The first thing we recommend is to put away that hair dryer for the summer! Heat from a hair dryer can damage your curls. Instead, towel-dry your hair and use the Rake & Shake technique for beautiful, defined rizos.

Another key component in maintaining beautiful summer curls is protecting your hair from the sun, salt, and chlorine. Ouidad’s Sun Shield Sun & Sport Leave-In Conditioner creates an invisible, breathable shield to lock out the elements while leaving your hair shinier and smoother. Make sure you spray some on before your next trip to the pool or la playa.

Whether you’re headed out on a hot summer day or stylin’ those Latina locks for a fun night out on the town, you’ll want to get rid of frizz and flyaways. Ouidad’s Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel leaves curls cool, calm, and collected while your amigas wonder how your hair can look so good after a day at the beach.

Enjoy the heat … and your seriously hot hair!

Nobody likes frizz. It makes your curls unmanageable and difficult to enjoy. Thankfully, with the right product, you don’t need to deal with any frazzled frizz. Ouidad is here!

Latina magazine knows that too and recently recommended the Botanical Boost as an “Instant Frizz-Fixer” go-to product that’ll help you tame that ‘do fast. The article recommends you rehydrate hair with Botanical Boost Conditioning Spray, then “twist each one-inch section. Let hair untwist and dry into your natural curl pattern.”

This conditioning spray is actually a leave-in conditioner that is designed to soften, moisturize, detangle, fight frizz, and protect your hair from the sun! It’s a great all-in-one product that leaves your curls healthy and manageable!

Keep a bottle of Botanical Boost handy for an instant curl boost in the middle of any busy day.
