Fall is upon is and Winter isn’t too far away! We all know how important it is to keep our luscious locks well conditioned, but the thought of a leave-in conditioner may concern some of us. But not to worry, you and your curls and can rejoice: Ouidad’s Moisture Lock-In Leave Conditioner is a lightweight moisture treatment for curly hair, inspired by skincare science to lock in moisture–and helps de-frizz those curls!

Ouidad reminds us often to remember that conditioning is the foundation for maintaining your hair’s health and beauty. Due to a curl’s tendency to lose nutrients and moisture, Moisture Lock-In Leave Conditioner is the perfect addition to your daily nourishing treatment. Moisture Lock is the perfect light weight conditioning system to nourish, detangle, and protect your curly waves. Similar to your skincare, it creates a moisture foundation for your hair to stay healthy

The Moisture Lock Leave-In Conditioner can be used in the shower after shampooing or right after you shower: place a dollop in the palm of your hands and rub your hands together, then run your hands throughout your hair, spreading the conditioner and leaving the product in your hair. Make sure to pay extra attention to conditioning your gentle ends! The Moisture Lock Leave-In Conditioner will help detangle and protect your curls instantly, readying them for styling products to effectively manage your curls. For very dehydrated hair, use as a styling lotion and seal it with the Styling Mist.

After styling if you find the ends still frizzy from the hair not being properly conditioned, Moisture Lock is a great quick fix to put on the ends to give them a shiny seal.

For a perfect finish as you style, spritz your hair with the Ouidad’s Styling Mist to really seal in the moisture and nourishing benefits of the Leave-In Conditioner. Then you and your Curls are good to go out into the cold!

Mientras otros padres se cobijan con sus hijos para contarles un cuento a la hora de dormir, aquellos que tienen niños con pelo rizado se preparan para uno de los momentos más problemáticos del día: la hora del baño y a desenredar el pelo. En lugar de besos y armonía, las noches pueden acabar en llanto y frustración.

Afortunadamente, unas técnicas sencillas y los productos de pelo adecuados pueden hacer placentera la rutina a la cama.

Lo mejor es desenredar el pelo antes de lavarlo. Y, si usas un peine como el Double Detangler podrás sentir la diferencia. Sostén el cabello estirado para empezar a peinar, comienza por la parte inferior y sube poco a poco hasta peinar desde la parte superior hacia abajo.

Después de desenredar y lavar, asegúrate de acondicionar el cabello con el acondicionador KRLY No More Knots.

Si sigues estos consejos te darás cuenta que, después de todo, ¡sí hay tiempo para un cuento en la cama! ¿Quieres alguna recomendación? Qué mejor que el clásico cuento infantil “Ricitos de Oro y los Tres Osos”. ¡Dulces sueños con Ouidad!

Thanks to Ouidad, you already know how to fight the frizz. But to be sure you’re always donning perfectly defined curls, it’s just as important to know why frizz happens. Let us help you get at the root of the cause, so your hair can forever be frizz-free.

Let’s get one thing straight; Frizzy hair is dehydrated hair.  And the three keys to healthy, luscious curls are: moisture, moisture and moisture! If your hair is dry and malnourished, your hair will undoubtedly frizz. And while it’s true that your frizzy hair might be hereditary (for example, if your mother has always had frizzy hair, it’s likely that you too are used to taming the frizzies) there are other reasons that frizzies occur.

If you are not careful to protect your hair from environmental elements like the scorching sun and the arid winds, hair can easily become dry and frizzy. For this challenge a nourishing leave-in conditioner can be used.

Likewise, regular blow drying, brushing or over-handling your hair can disturb your natural curl pattern and create frizz.  Remember that curly hair should never, ever be brushed—whether it is wet or dry. And opt for an air diffuser over heat styling to ensure healthy, beautiful curls no matter the weather or whatever curly inheritance your mother gave you!
