Ouidad: The Curl Experts

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!

When it comes to natural beauty, California is one of the most diverse states. We’re not just talking about the great outdoors though, we’re also talking fashion and curls!

Whether you live in a large coastal city like San Francisco or at a mountainous retreat like Lake Arrowhead, curls are always in style. It’s important to treat those voluptuous locks with love and respect. After all, your curls speak volumes about who you are as a person!

To give your hair a loving lift, Ouidad’s PlayCurl Volumizing Foam creates volume while moisturizing and creating long-lasting volume, shine, and manageability. Don’t forget to use our Duckbill Clips to help style and shape your curls at the roots as they dry.  Let Ouidad Show you!

You know, when your hair has a gorgeous sheen, it looks vibrant and healthy. That’s why mountain and city girls alike love Ouidad’s Shine Serum because it fights frizz while allowing your curls to play their own starring role.

Take care of those fashionable California curls and they’ll love you right back!

Waking up to a head full of perfectly pretty curls after a good night sleep sounds like a dream.  Especially when you just don’t have time to redo your ringlets every morning.  Here’s how a little preparation before bedtime —and a little Ouidad—can help you get gorgeous curls by morning.

Well-moisturized hair will keep its curl better while you sleep through the night. So try applying a moisturizing conditioner, like Ouidad’s Curl Quencher, to your hair before going to bed.

Then arrange your curls so that you do not accidentally flatten them as you sleep; try securing your hair into a loose ponytail high on the top or your head, also called a pineapple.  And remember that satin and silk can be a curls best friend! These hair-friendly fabrics allow your curls to stay smooth while they slide on your pillow, rather than catch to the fabric and cause your curls to frizz.  Perfect for keeping your ponytail in place while you sleep.

In the morning, you might be able to revive your curls with little more than a simple shake, style and finish.  So you can finally put an end to messy bed-head forever and maintain your curls while you rest.  Imagine that!
