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!
