 Great for wavy hair, too March 13, 2010
L. Pappas (Doylestown, PA)
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
My hair only has a slight wave in it and I usually wear it straight, so I wasn't sure how this product would work for me. I am delighted to say that not only did it work very well, I feel like I have a whole new "look" at my fingertips. My husband LOVES it and so do I!
I followed the instructions on the first day and got great results; not as curly as someone with true curly hair, but a nice "lioness" bedhead waves look. The curls were distinct, but soft and natural.
The second day, I refreshed with the botanical spray, and scrunched and got the same results. Same for every day after that and a few days I also put the climate control product in and scrunched some more. I did find that with my hair type, the scrunching worked better than her "rake and shake" method; that really didn't do anything for my hair. I wondered about the product building up, but it didn't seem to. Day after day, just looked great.
I did this for a week (I am not kidding!) and it worked well every day. I put it in a ponytail, leaving some strands out, rolled it away from my face with pins and gathered in the back with a ribbon, tried barrettes... it truly was a new look and as you can probably tell, I had a ball with it. I think that I could have gone longer than a week as the style was still there and looking great (the hair kept getting fuller with more body), but felt it was a little gross to go that long without washing it, so washed it, repeated the process (without the intense conditioner as I had used it all up) and got the same results.
I can only imagine what this product would do for someone with real curls and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has curly hair as well as someone who has a slight wave. Very impressive product! I am actually grateful someone came up with it; I didn't think I could carry this look and am pleased to find that I can!
Great Products for Wavy Hair March 6, 2010

As I am always looking for new ways to tame my thick wavy mane of hair, when I happened upon Ouidad products in a promotional email sent to me by Sephora, I decided to give them a try.
Seventy-five percent of the battle over controlling wavy/curly hair is a good haircut. I am pleased to say that I use a wonderful stylist in my area that works for an Aveda Salon and knows exactly how to cut my unmanageable tresses. When she styles my hair she uses "Be Curly" products--especially the leave-in hair cream that is meant to enhance the curl (Aveda Be Curly Enhancer, 6.7-Ounce Tube). I have purchased this product and do use it at home with mixed inconsistent results.
To style my hair I use the clip method outlined in both Curly Girl and Curl Talk: Everything You Need to Know to Love and Care for Your Curly, Kinky, Wavy, or Frizzy Hair. The clips add height from the crown and position the curls in a pattern that enhances the natural flow of the curl yet looks like a more sophisticated style rather than just a jumble of hair. When I use "Be Curly" my hair doesn't exactly organize itself in the shape that I want it to be in. For the most part there is always a bigger pouffier side that needs retweaking before I consider myself done.
When I tried Ouidad's Curl Essential Starter Kit, I was uncertain about the shampoo. It definitely cleansed my hair, but it did not have a creamy consistency like the Be Curly counterpart. The Ouidad conditioner is great; I raked it through my hair and let it sit there for about three minutes. I used a wide tooth comb to make sure all the snarls and knots were eliminated. I pat my hair dry--never rub it--that would just produce more knots--and then just comb it into place with my fingers. I rubbed the Climate Control Heat and Humidity Gel on my hands and then onto my hair and added little Aveda Confixor Liquid Gel, 8.5 Ounces) just because I like the fragrance. Once all my clips were in place, I dried with a diffuser. Before it is 100% dry, I remove the clips to check the progress. I dry it a little more without the clips and then replace the clips (not as many) to tweak the hair into shape.
Wow! I have got to say that Ouidad made the styling so easy! My waves/curls look shiny, well formed and have no hint of frizziness. Unbelievably fast!
Now I don't wash my hair everyday--especially when the weather is cold. To eliminate the inevitable bed-head, I spritz on the Botanical Boost, do a little more raking with my fingers and reclip. The shower or hot tub helps steam the curls into a hairstyle; I keep the clips in while I get dressed and do my make-up. Once the clips are removed--all done!
Bottom line? I am extremely satisfied with the Ouidad Curl Essentials Starter kit--so much so that I will definitely order full sizes of each of the components. As an Italian American with thick wavy hair, I can wholeheartedly recommmend it for those with similar hair traits. Highly Recommended.

Curls Out of Control!! May 17, 2010

I have spent a lot of time and money trying to control my curly hair. As I have aged the wildness has gotten worse. I saw the ad for Quidad Curl Essentials and felt it was worth trying. I am so pleased with this product. It is light on hair where some products are so heavy you have to wash your hair each day to get the goo out. Not Quidad, I can use it once a day and wash my hair once a week. I bought the Starter Kit and will be ordering the larger bottles and using the starter kit for travel size with the great carrier case. Great, great product!
I AM VERY SURPRISED! May 14, 2010
Debra Rae (Music City, USA)
I was using a product that I was "ok" happy with. I ordered Curl Confidence because I wanted more definition and less frizz. MAN! I got it! The frizz is gone. My frizzy, messy hair now has ringlettes I never knew it had. YET SOOOO SOFT!!! I straighten it sometimes but when I want to just get out of the shower & just leave it alone, this stuff makes it gorgeous! I got a lot of comments the first day as well. Now I don't have to be a product-hound. I only use this stuff and WEN shampoo. Nothing else.
 Really works for me! May 18, 2010

I bought the travel kit to test out these products on my combination wavy, straight, sometimes curly, sometimes frizzy hair. Nothing seems to work for me, and I hate the stiff sticky look and feel. I've been using this for about a month now, and I finally feel like I have something that works. I spray the Botanical Boost on my wet hair, and no more frizz! I don't always use the gel, only if I am going to blow dry. Otherwise, it feels a bit stiff. I love the shampoo and conditioner, but as with everything else, I need to switch to a clarifying or moisturizing shampoo once every two weeks or so. I would recommend at least giving the small sizes a try. I'm buying a set for my daughter who keeps taking my botanical spray to use on her thick wavy hair. She loves it too!
