Often referred to as the classic blond bombshell, Marilyn Monroe knew the beauty of her curls. Whether it was short, sexy waves or soft classic layers; she was easily recognizable as a curly haired beauty.

Marilyn’s comedic charm and beauty radiated throughout her films, capturing the hearts of both men and women with her glamorous qualities, along with her approachable and vulnerable side. Some of her most memorable films include the classic The Seven Year Itch & Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, in which she dons those iconic platinum blonde curls!

Marilyn’s hairstyles set lasting trends throughout her career and across the country, and yes, well into the 21^st century. That “Marilyn look” and those distinctive curls continue to grace the red carpet today on celebrities like Katherine Heigl and Gwen Stefani, nearly 50 years after Marilyn’s untimely death.

With the great products and styling tools Ouidad has to offer, you too can style your locks into those classic Hollywood curls. And if your hair is color treated like Marilyn’s, make sure to use Ouidad’s Clear & Gentle Shampoo.

To the delight of mothers everywhere, tear-free shampoos have been around for a while. These shampoos, which still get nice and sudsy but don’t sting tender eyes, are perfect for our littlest bathers. But until Ouidad came along, no tear-free shampoo was designed specifically for kids with curls!

Thank heavens for Ouidad’s No Time for Tears Shampoo! This product is the perfect combination of gentle cleansers and curl-enhancing ingredients. While your child’s delicate eyes are protected, their delicate curls will be made healthy and strong thanks the formulation’s nourishing proteins and amino acids.

Just massage a small amount into scalp and through the wet hair with your fingertips. Then, distribute the shampoo through the hair with outstretched fingers. (Never bunch or scrub the hair!) Rinse with warm water and follow with KRLY Kids No More Knots conditioner.

With Ouidad’s shampoo, bath or shower time can be a wonderful experience. No more tears and fantastic curls too …what more could a parent (or a KRLY kid) want?!
