Ouidad: The Curl Experts

Los Angeles is one of those cities where you and your hair need to be ready for anything. You start the day at a Malibu beach party, then go shopping for the latest fashions on Robertson Blvd., and end up that night at a swanky nightclub dancing the night away beside a tabloid princess. It’s a happening lifestyle!

What does this mean for your curls though?

Being on-the-go in L.A. means being prepared for both brisk ocean breezes and curl drying heat, all while looking great and partying the night away! So Ouidad has some thoughts to help keep your L.A. locks gorgeous and under control:

• Visit our flagship salon in Santa Monica. Our stylists love to share curly hair care techniques and show you how you can embrace and easily manage those special spirals.
• Be prepared. Because you’re always on the go: keep some key products in your purse, like our Shine Glaze, which helps your curls make that quick transition into the nightlife.
• Read through our blog! As Los Angeles is near both Death Valley and the Mojave Desert – check out our great curl care tips on the Ouidad blog. We’ve got you covered for all occasions and seasons, like keeping your curls well hydrated and in top shape in those Hot, Hot, Hot! California Deserts!

As the quintessential Californian, Randy Newman sings about L.A. – “We love it!”

The song California Girls has lived on in music history long after it first hit the airwaves in 1965. While the Beach Boys (who hail from Hawthorne, California) wrote the song for all you west coast gals, Ouidad wants to also celebrate the Curly Californian guys too!

We’ve given the girls pointers on how to keep curls looking fabulous in the warm California sun. Guys however, have a different set of concerns. Here is some advice for dudes with curls, because Ouidad knows that men can wear their curls long or short, and still look great. Especially while out enjoying the surf! (We know surfers start pretty early out west.)

Whether you’re taking a trip to Venice or hiking the Half Dome in Merced, you need to keep your curls from becoming too frizzy. Use our Climate Control, a product that works with the temperature to maintain your locks. Or, if you’re looking for a classic pomade, try our Clear Control Styling Glaze, which is packed with conditioners to control frizzy, fly-away curls!

Want more guidance or looking for a new curly look? Visit us at our Santa Monica salon where we, of course, also cater to men! Actually, ‘we wish you all could be California curlyyyyy-men!’

Home of Yosemite National Park, the Golden Gate Bridge and the Hollywood Hills, California is home to some of the most remarkable attractions in the country. Here at Ouidad, some of our favorite sights are all those fabulous California-born, curly-haired celebrities!

Lisa Bonet of The Cosby Show is one of those beautifully coifed celebs. Hailing from San Francisco, Bonet is best known for her role as Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show. She is still flaunting her acting skills (and that great hair!) most recently, on the series Life on Mars.

Lovable comedians and fellow SNL stars, Will Ferrell and Andy Samberg come from Irvine and Berkeley respectively. These fabulous funny guys have got some seriously fabulous curls, too. Check out what Ferrell had to say about his own hair in this hilarious Q & A!

Los Angeles born, Ugly Betty star America Ferrera is far from ugly. In fact, People Magazine named this curly girl one of the 100 Most Beautiful People! We definitely agree, and also mark her down for a top 100 head of soft flowing curls!
