Let’s face it, some things in life are just supposed to be challenging—a good workout for instance. Reviving our favorite curly style after the workout can be just as tough as making it through a sweat session! Don’t let your curls deter you from staying active. Even the US Surgeon General advises you not to let your hair keep you from the gym!

You don’t need to make it harder to refresh those delicate tresses by stretching and pulling them into a ponytail, or smothering them beneath a hot head wrap at the gym. You don’t have to sport a braided style or beg your stylist to cut it short just to keep your curls looking cute.  Do it the Ouidad way and toss those ponytail holders and head wraps – give way to the curls!

Quick Workout Tips for Curls:

1) Give your curls a post workout boost with Ouidad’s Botanical Boost. Designed to soften, moisturize, detangle and fight frizz, this is the perfect pick me up! Our 2.5 ounce travel size is great to leave in your gym bag.

2) To maximize your gym time, you can also multitask by conditioning your hair while you workout.  As you exercise, the heat from your scalp can help some conditioners, like Ouidad’s 12 Minute Deep Treatment, penetrate the hair shaft.  And the best part is the time you’ll save by getting your hair and body healthy at the same time!

We now have an excuse to be a bit “over the top” with our hair. The braid trend, was more of a loose unkept, look. The holiday updo trend is more of a smooth finished braid that’s pinned around the top of the head. This works for mid to long length hair.
