Once upon a time, there was a little girl that could never understand why she was hurting so much when she was trying to brush her hair in contrast to her friends that seemed to feel no pain at all. And as the time went by the girl turn into a teen and again she could never get why she should look like King Mufasa every morning, so she promised to visit her hairdresser three times a week for hair straightening by an expert! And by her 16 years she realized that her hair was destroyed by the heat and all these bad hair products she was using. But most of all, she realized that almost all people around her were mentioning how beautiful her hair was when not done by the hairdresser. And the result? Now, she is in her twenties and she is absolutely in love with her hair, in a not-touch-it degree! True story! Because, after so many years, she finally realized that curls are gorgeous -any type of them- with just one integral prerequisite: you have to give them the best to take out the best of them! Literally, if you want your curls to keep giving you all these admiring comments, then you have to treat them as they deserve, as a living organism that needs protection and adornment. And there is nothing better out there than Ouidad, “The Curl Experts”.
And since you always were the winners of “Guess Who?” as kids, you probably already know that the girl with the curly and unruly hair is me. Absolutely! I’ve been through hard times trying to manage my hair, trying to sleep without getting soaked, and emptying entire bottles of foam and sprays to keep them in place. But it was all before I got introduced to Ouidad, which finally gave me the opportunity to make the most out of my curly hair, to look always like I just came out of the salon (saving tons of money because I would otherwise need to) and to stop blaming my DNA; on the contrary, I thank my parents for my hair (and much more, but that’s another story). And not only that, Ouidad finally gave to my curls vitality because after so many attempts to stylize them with the wrong products, I’m lucky they are still at place! And apart from Ouidad, I also love my job since I can buy as many salon-quality products as I want and save big time with our exclusive Ouidad promo codes.
Again, since you know that curls can’t be left as they are after washing them, we need some styling products. In that case, I’ll take two different directions. First of all, for those days that you want to amaze the crowd and let your gorgeous hair get all the attention, you need something to add volume and energy. For that case, I use the Playcurl Volumizing Foam, which although you’ll find it under the wavy hair category, it works perfectly for any kind of curls. In my case, I first used it because although my hair are curly, they are also very thin. This amazing foam has among other things Pro-Vitamin B5 that protects your hair while providing the best of lifting aids together with total control. And honestly, this is the easiest way to get volume and defined curls that will give you a salon-like look. Wash your hair, apply the foam with your fingers, let them dry naturally or not (it depends on the time you have until you leave the house) and you are all set and gorgeous! And if you want this look to stay untouched until the end of the day, then add the Playcurl Volumizing spray, the best setting and holding spray for curls, for long lasting hold but also movement –you don’t want your curls to look plastic.
Secondly, because of the season and the heat you might prefer to have your hair up. With Ouidad, you can have any hairdo you want. If you love buns that add a lot of glam to our style, 
you need to add to damp hair the Tress Effects Styling Gel or the Moisture Lock Define & Shine Curl Styling Gel-Cream that keep your hair moisturized, soft and shiny but also allow for maximum flexibility for different hairdos. I use either one of this products when I want to adopt a more formal look and need not only volume but shine and control too. And again, it’s way too simple: wash, stylize, dry and make your bun! And I guarantee you’ll look fab! After you do that, add a comb, a fascinator, a clip or just leave it as it is and finalize your style with the Styling Mist Setting & Holding Spray. Now, you’ll look so good you can even attend a wedding, graduate or just go to the office with a professional hairdo created by the expert “You” -with the aid of Ouidad of course.
Last but not least, at Ouidad.com, apart from everyday products, you can also shop for main hair treatment products that can solve any curl issue: frizz, thinness, dryness and damaged hair. I use the Shine Glaze Serum which offers smooth and shine with its amazing silky formula. You only need a couple of drops and your hair will look fabulous! And… I was gonna keep that for me, but I have to play fair. The most adorable Ouidad product is beyond any concern the Wave Create Sea Spray! Just one product to give your hair that hot, flirty look you have after your days at the beach! But please, don’t spread the word!

Please provide a detailed description or memoir on your HAIR-stimony: Well, my hair tribulations must have started around age 6. My mother would have to wake me up extra early every morning before school because it took an entire hour to do my hair. Come to think of it I don’t know why since she always ended up putting it up in a bun. My poor little elementary school head would throb every morning, and it wasn’t because of my overly excited teacher asking if we did our homework today. Eventually, my mom became so tired of having to deal with my pouf, she called in professional reinforcement. That’s when I was introduced to the mecca of manes–the hair salon. Little did I know, I was about to undergo a grueling science experiment packed with stinky chemicals and suspicious heated devices. These nice older ladies whipped out the magic white crème that would turn my hair into pin-straight heaven. I will never forget that first time they relaxed my hair and made me look normal. Growing up with this new-found love/hate routine, I never had to worry about looking like a caveman from those Geico commercials. All I had to do was wash my hair, blow-dry and GO! Sadly, like cavemen’s extinction, my hair solution would soon meet a similar demise. As I got older, my hair began to fall out, leaving me with bald spots. To make matters worse, every single summer brought on major damage as sunlight and chlorinated pool water would team up to make my hair extra brittle and tangled. Washing my hair was more of a nightmare than I ever imagined. The tangling was so bad that scissors became a close companion as I resorted to cutting knot balls out of my hair in futile attempts to tame it. This launched my hair insecurity to a whole new level of “WHY ME?! IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT MOM, WHY COULDN’T I HAVE GOTTEN DADDY’S HAIR GENES?!” Once I got over the fact that I was a patchy poodle, I waited until my 19th birthday to finally say ENOUGH to the relaxer. My mission for healthy hair was sparked by my fellow curly haired girls posting their testimonies on YouTube. They shared great tricks and tips for getting your natural hair back, but the one thing that they all mentioned is that once you rid yourself off all the relaxer, you will begin to see your natural curl pattern. Only then will you be able to determine exactly what you need to maintain your hair. Two years (and a lot of haircuts) later, I managed to take my hair from “dreadful-locks” to gorgeous spiral curls. To my surprise, I actually had full ringlets that you would see Shakira or Beyonce rocking. The only thing is, I still remained a frizz ball and needed a little bit of help from my friends–that is, my friends from Sally’s Beauty Supply! They must have heard my hair-prayers because they answered by sending me this blessing (cue the harp and choir): sooth soothe
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “She did not just put some special effects to make it look like it’s actually glowing”. Well… I did. It’s only right to match the picture to the miracle elixir in the bottle!
First off the scent is unbelievably divine! What gets this creme smelling yummy is the sweet almond oil that aids in conditioning unruly hair. You will also find a blend of exotic Moroccan Argan Oil which is packed with anti-oxidants and Vitamin E. It even has primrose oil that helps nourish the scalp while Sesame oil delivers emollients that soothe and seal in moisture. The only thing left for me to do was follow the instructions to witness the transformation. Each one of the claims listed on the bottle (creates silkiness, rejuvenates overstressed hair, improves elasticity, lightweight, deeply penetrates, seals in moisture, protects from heat styling) stood true except the last one as I did not use heat. Here’s a quick pictorial to show how I achieved heavenly hair:
1. First I sectioned my hair in two parts as this method helps me wash & condition my hair efficiently. Whilst showering, I washed the first section of hair, rinsed and then applied the Miracle 7 Heavenly Healer Leave-In Conditioner while de-tangling with a wide-toothed comb. This is crucial for achieving your defined curls because this helps distribute the product throughout the whole head to ensure optimal definition.
2. This is the result after coming out of the shower and beginning the air-drying process. You can already see my natural curl pattern showing, and how shiny my hair became.
3. After my hair has been completely dried, I like to section off the parts of my hair that tend to frizz up more. These are the sections that will need some extra TLC in the last step.
4. Use a spray bottle with a mixture of water and some leave-in conditioner and spritz the sections that need that extra oomph while scrunching to encourage volume.
The results?
Soft, voluminous, fierce hair!
