Say "Oui Oui" to Ouidad

What?!?...It's made in the USA?  Well, for a short while I thought I was using some fancy French product, but oh well...I love my country!  Ouidad touts themselves as the curl experts.  Products to tame those unruly curls and fight frizz!  I myself have wavy hair, no spiral curls, no tight ringlets, no frizzy fizzies! :)  Still...waves can appear messy and frizz can add to an unkempt look.  That's what I get if I don't blow dry and try to go with a wash-and-go style.  I was looking for a new mousse or gel which styled my waves into curls, controlled frizz, and felt like I had absolutely nothing in my hair.  I decided to try Ouidad after reading on their website that it would help create volume without weighing hair down.  Most gels/mousses/sprays I have tried in the past sell the same promise and still make for a sticky icky head of hair :(

Until I picked up this...

Ouidad Tress Effects Styling Gel.  Here's what the description says...

"Ouidad's Tress Effects Lightweight Styling Gel keeps curls soft, defined, frizz-free and super smooth without weighing them down. Its protein and vitamin B-5 packed formula leaves curls shiny, manageable, and prepared for even the most intricate special occasion style. Botanicals and collagen help smooth uplifted cuticles to prevent frizz and tame flyaways. With Tress Effects, you can achieve beautiful, salon-quality styling every time."

And that's exactly what I get every single time!!! 






There are suggested use instruction on the bottle, but here's how I use it...
- I wash my hair the night before
- I blow dry for only a few minutes the crown of my head and by flipping my hair over for the back
- While my hair is still wet/damp but not dripping...I flip all my hair into a bun at the top of my head.
(Note...I will one day post a picture of this because of the looks I get from my family, but they have all learned it's necessary for the awesomeness that befalls me the next day.  Its a bun at the highest part of your head you can put it and its done with a....SCRUNCHIE!.  Yes people, and indoor only scrunchie.  I own two for this use only.  You will never see me wear them out...Promise!  But they are much more effective on not pulling your hair and creating little kinks like regular hair ties will do.  You WILL get bouncy, natural, even curls from a scrunchie!!!)
- In the morning, I undo my bun and take a nickel size amount of Ouidad in my hands and then scrunch through my hair.  And it doesn't even feel like a scrunching but I use the word to give you the image!  It feels like no product at all!

Try Ouidad if you are in the market for a new hair tamer!  On some occasions however, you may want a stronger hold...for that I recommend a hairspray by Redken (post to come!)
