Let’s face it, some things in life are just supposed to be challenging—a good workout for instance. Reviving our favorite curly style after the workout can be just as tough as making it through a sweat session! Don’t let your curls deter you from staying active. Even the US Surgeon General advises you not to let your hair keep you from the gym!

You don’t need to make it harder to refresh those delicate tresses by stretching and pulling them into a ponytail, or smothering them beneath a hot head wrap at the gym. You don’t have to sport a braided style or beg your stylist to cut it short just to keep your curls looking cute.  Do it the Ouidad way and toss those ponytail holders and head wraps – give way to the curls!

Quick Workout Tips for Curls:

1) Give your curls a post workout boost with Ouidad’s Botanical Boost. Designed to soften, moisturize, detangle and fight frizz, this is the perfect pick me up! Our 2.5 ounce travel size is great to leave in your gym bag.

2) To maximize your gym time, you can also multitask by conditioning your hair while you workout.  As you exercise, the heat from your scalp can help some conditioners, like Ouidad’s 12 Minute Deep Treatment, penetrate the hair shaft.  And the best part is the time you’ll save by getting your hair and body healthy at the same time!

Have a Healthy and Curly 2012!

Do you ever wake up frustrated because your curls have that flat “slept on” look and you don’t know what to do? Thankfully, you don’t have to hop in the shower and start a  hair washing routine from scratch. Instead, consider some of these quick and easy curl care tips to beat the morning hair blues:

Toss It!

Tossing your hair back and forth a couple of times when you wake up will help your curls bounce into the day.

Tie It!

If you do decide to wear your hair up at night for a bit of curl control, make sure you wear it in a high, loose ‘do. Use a scrunchie that won’t damage your hair or leave lines.

Spray It!

Ouidad’s Botanical Boost revitalizes your curl pattern in the morning without washing. You can also use it throughout the day as a curl booster. Don’t leave home without it.

Slip It!

Choose a pillowcase that will allow your hair to slip and slide at night. The smooth fabric of silk or satin will help prevent hair breakage and snagging.

See how easy it is for your curls to bounce back every morning?

No need for you or your curls to start off your day frustrated!

Unfortunately, hair trouble often starts at the roots. Do frizzy, dry, and limp sound like familiar descriptions? If so, you’ve come to the right place! With Ouidad’s expert advice, you won’t have to worry about unruly roots any longer.

Ouidad recommends grabbing the PlayCurl Volumizing Foam as well as Ouidad’s Duckbill Clips before sitting down to watch our video on How to Create Volume at the Roots:

Why are the duckbill clips important? These long metal clips are used to position the shape and style of your wet curls as your hair begins to dry. They help direct your curls, create height, style hair away from the face – whatever choice you want – by encouraging the positioning of your roots from the moment they begin to dry. Sharp!

And Ouidad’s PlayCurl Volumizing Foam works hand-in-hand with the Duckbill Clips, providing moisture and long-lasting volume, shine, and manageability.

We’re rooting for you!
