Long Hair Horrors

Ouidad to the rescue

Ouidad Hair!!!!

For about four years (If I am not mistaken) Ouidad Botanical Boost has been my Knight in Shining Armor. No joking, very serious. I have very long, naturally curly hair. Washing it, and trying to comb it out use to be a nightmare, seriously, it was a horrid! I would break my hair, split ends were beyond bad, than one day by luck, Ouidad waltzed into my life.

I have to use a detangler on my hair everyday and use a special detangler comb. Without them, my hair is crazy. This spray is a blend of nourishing botanical, anti-oxidants and conditioning aloe. It smells wonderful, it is not heavy at ALL, it works great as a detangler. Best of all, each time I use it, my hair feels refreshed and moisturized. I use mine on my wet hair. In the warmer months, I use it on dry hair as well because it helps to keep the frizz down and it adds a soft moisturizer. LOVE this products seriously!!

Not two long ago, I was looking for a good hair gel that did not make my hair stiff and yet tamed the frizz and made my hair look natural but also I wanted it to stay in place. Wow, was I looking for a lot huh? Well, I found Ouidad Curl Quencher Moisturizing Styling Gel, and I WILL never use a different gel on my hair again.

This is a hydrating gel that works from the inside out with your hair and gives you beautiful hold. It contains meadow-foam seed oil that is rich in fatty acids and infuses moisture into the hair cuticles. Arnica (one of the best herbs in the world! in my humble opinion) plumps and seals dehydrated hair strands.

After I comb my hair out using the Ouidad Botanical Boost on my hair, I will take about a quarter size amount of the Ouidad Curl Quencher and rub my hands together. Than I rub and shake it into my hair, if that makes sense. I have found by doing that, it makes the large loose curls like in the picture above. So you rub the gel starting at your roots, and work it down the strands of your hair, shaking the hair to loosen it and than scrunch it. I use a blow dryer and dry my hair a little again by shaking it as I blow dry it.

**PLEASE note: I do not mean shake your head back and forth, but take a hold of your hair and light shake it loose with your hand.

You will be amazed how continue use of these products will make your hair feel. If you already use it, please share below!!
