Cooking is an endeavor full of creativity and exuberance, so maybe that’s why there are so many vivacious, curly chefs out there! Now comes curly-clad Kristina Kuzmic, joining the ranks of cooks with curls like Nigella Lawson, Bobby Flay and legend Julia Child. This talented and beautiful woman recently competed for—and won—a television show on Oprah’s new OWN network.

Naturally Curly spoke to Kristina to find out more about her and her hair, and reported that she loves the fact that she doesn’t have to wash it every day. She also mentions that she’s on the lookout for a great styling line … and Ouidad certainly hopes she’ll give some of our styling products, like Tress Effects styling gel and PlayCurl volumizing foam a try!

It’s wonderful to see a beautiful head of curls bouncing around a television kitchen. We couldn’t agree more with Naturally Curly, which said “It’s so refreshing to see someone in the media who embraces her curls instead of pressing, relaxing or hiding them to appeal to the public.”

Ouidad’s Facebook friend flaunts her beach curls!

With all the sun and fun still to be had this summer, relaxing days at the beach would do us all some good.  But there’s an added bonus to taking a trip to the shore when you’re a curly-haired guy or girl.  This is one of the many places that we really get to flaunt our amazing waves, curls and kinks.  It’s the sea salt—with its curl intensifying action—that brings out the natural curl pattern and texture of our hair and makes us the envy of all the straight-haired beach bunnies!

However, the beach is not the only place to find this natural curl enhancer.  These days, many products list sea salt as an active ingredient with the promise of creating that casual, “beachy” texture that comes so naturally to us.  But when the day in the sun is done, all that salt can be very drying to curls, and only a thorough wash and rinse will get them back in great condition.  That’s where we can call on Ouidad to help.

To return to manageability and shine after soaking your curls in the sun and salt of the seashore, try Ouidad Water Works Clarifying Shampoo.  It is made to deep clean curly hair and wash away that drying sea salt residue.  And it won’t strip your hair even if it’s color-treated.  This way, your curls won’t only look great at the beach—they’ll look great for days after too, and so will you!
