Mexican golfer Lorena Ochoa seemingly has it all. Not only is she Mexico’s top female athlete, but she also happens to sport the most amazing head of curls!

Many Hispanics in the United States look up to Ochoa, who has been a somewhat permanent fixture on the LPGA Tour for several years. Amazingly, she has held the No. 1 spot for the last three!

Ouidad knows…we always keep our curly score up to date!

So how does the world’s best female golfer keep her curls from going loco while playing under a scorching sun, in one hundred percent humidity? We recommend our Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel. It’s perfect for active people who want to keep their hair manageable, whether playing above or below par!

And while the 28-year curly–clad Lorena recently retired from the professional golf tour, we’re convinced that she’ll miss the action, and then make a huge comeback… so we wish her the best of luck and can’t wait to see her – and her curls – back on the course!

You might recognize Kerry Washington from the Academy Award winning films Ray or The Last King of Scotland. No matter where you’ve seen her, it’s her great curls that always steal the show!

A Screen Actors Guild Award nominee, Washington has definitely proven her acting chops alongside some of Hollywood’s greatest stars.  She’s also a political activist and did her fair share of campaigning during the recent presidential race. So with a busy schedule of acting, modeling and political involvement, we know she’s not just another pretty face…but what a face, and what curls! Many of us would like to try those curls on for size, so, let Ouidad show you what you need to get a movie star quality coif.

Begin with a great starter kit, like our Curl Quencher Collection.  The moisture rich shampoo and vitamin packed conditioners will keep any set of curls looking healthy and vibrant. Plus, the curl defining gel hydrates your locks and maintains their style all in one. Then, just follow along with our step-by-step style guide to achieve your perfect look!  Voila!  Now you’ve got Kerry Washington-worthy curls, ready to go out and conquer this curly world!

Spotlight on: Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel


Bestselling authors can’t live without it. Balmy days are no match for it.  Your curls will thank you for it. What are we talking about? Our Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel.

Not just any ordinary hair styling product earns the Glam Best Frizz Fighter Award, Allure’s Best of Beauty Award and a Shecky’s Best of the Best in Beauty Award. Ouidad’s Climate Control is anything but ordinary.

It features a heat-activated European Wheat Protein that protects the hair shaft and prevents it from expanding. What makes this product so unique, though, is that it actually works with the muggy temperatures, blocking out excess humidity that creates frizz.  Plus, its Amino Acids and Vitamin A nourish and hydrate hair, leaving it super-shiny.

So how can you achieve the same great prolonged hairstyle? Just rake it with your fingers evenly through moist, sectioned hair beginning with underneath layers. Then move from the crown to ends and temple to crown, ensuring that all hair is evenly covered. That’s it! An added bonus: Climate Control is great for straight styles, too, protecting hair from blow-dryer heat.

We think Lisa sums it up best in this review;

“This is the best product I’ve ever used. I have been searching all of my life for good products for my hair and these are the only ones that truly work”

Betty White’s Hair: Curly, Cute and Consistent!

It’s official: Everyone loves Betty White! The “Golden Girl” with the dry wit and maternal smile has had a career on TV and in the movies that spans decades … and she only seems to get better with age. As much as we love her acting, we at Ouidad may be most impressed by her hair. Betty’s hair is an incredibly endearing—and enduring—part of her look. Her signature curls have framed her lovely face since for over sixty years!

During her many years on television’s Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Golden Girls, Betty’s hair was perfectly coiffed. And lately, with her comedic performances in the hit Sandra Bullock movie, The Proposal and on Saturday Night Live, she never has a hair out of place. Perhaps most impressive is the fact that even when being tackled during the Snickers commercial that became the viewers’ best-liked ad during this year’s Super Bowl, her hair still stayed cute and curly. Now that’s a feat worth cheering about! (Maybe she was using Ouidad’s Styling Mist, which sets and holds curls in place …?)

So, with that, we say here’s to Betty White…may all curly ladies age so gracefully!

Happy Father’s Day to Curly Dad Will Smith!

It’s Father’s Day, and curly haired actor and dad Will Smith is making our day here at Ouidad.  The Grammy Award winning actor, rapper and producer boasts a fantastic career that includes over thirty films. He has been called “the most powerful actor on the planet.” Well, you just have to add  “some of the most powerful tresses on the planet” too!  And like a good dad he is passing down his curly ways to his children, who are following in their father’s performing footsteps and adding gorgeous curls and twists!

Willow and Jaden Smith

Smith’s two youngest curly kids – Jaden and Willow – can also list a few on screen successes of their very own. Jaden was his father’s co-star in the poinent film The Pursuit of Happyness, and is now the star of the upcoming film The Karate Kid.  And Willow appeared as Smith’s daughter in I Am Legend and was also in the hit movie Kit Kittredge: An American Girl.

This only proves that Will Smith and his family are great at giving us fans a variety of entertainment options. And while Smith often wears his curls short, we’re glad to see his kids raising the bar on the curly look with style options with true staying power!

Happy Father’s Day to all our curly (and yes, even the not-so-curly) dads!

Halle Berry’s Daughter is a Dream in Curls!

Even before she was born, we just knew that Halle Berry’s baby would have to be a beauty! What we didn’t necessarily expect was that she’d be a beauty with a gorgeous head of natural curls!

From the moment the public first got to lay eyes on her, we’ve been mesmerized by Nahla Aubry. Between her too-cute face, her sunny personality and her soft, wavy hair, baby Nahla is absolutely delightful to behold.

Mom (and Dad, model Gabriel Aubry) have allowed her baby curls to grow long and naturally, and her locks have only gotten prettier as she has grown. (Could she be using Ouidad’s KRLY Kids products?)

Now that she’s a full-fledged toddler—she turned two in March—Nahla’s curls are long enough to put into what might be the cutest pig-tails in Hollywood.

Though her parents seem to prefer short haircuts (and Mom sometimes goes for the long and straight look,) it appears that, at least for now, Halle and Gabriel are letting Nahla’s curls grow naturally…and beautifully! And more curls in the world is just the ticket to make Ouidad very happy!

Of course we remember the curly haired Holly Robinson Peete for her roles on 21 Jump Street and Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper.  After all, the actress has been entertaining television audiences with her remarkable talents, while donning a crown of luscious curls, for over two decades.  She definitely exudes the kind of curl confidence that we at Ouidad applaud!

Aside from acting, Peete is a mother, author and activist who always keeps’ up with the latest curly style trends. In the eighties, she wore it big. In the nineties? Loose and wavy.

These days, we are watching Peete proudly don a classic curly ‘do as she fights for the charity closest to her heart on Celebrity Apprentice, proving that she too, like Ouidad, is curly with a cause!
