San Diego loves curls, curls, curls! When you think about it, this Southern California city has a really great climate for maintaining vibrant, bouncy curls all year long.

Thanks in part to the mild weather and its beachside location, San Diegans have a uniquely laid-back view of life. Whether at the office, enjoying a leisurely brunch, or hitting up the Gaslamp Quarter with friends, you can be sure your curls will look effortlessly fantastic!

Here are a few tips from Ouidad for maintaining laid-back San Diego curls:

• When the weather is almost always perfect, who needs a blow dryer? That’s right, we’re giving you permission to give it a rest and let your curls dry in their natural splendor!

• As a desert city right at the Pacific Ocean, Ouidad’s Climate Control Heat and Humidity Gel will help protect your hair from frizz, whether taking a stroll on the beach or heading out for a night downtown.
• Don’t forget to keep those curls hydrated when you’re spending a lot of time in the famous California sun. Our Sun Shield Leave-In Conditioner does the trick leaving your hair soft, smooth, and protected.

We love that San Diegans really embrace their curls as part of their laid-back lifestyle. Thank you!

Los Angeles is one of those cities where you and your hair need to be ready for anything. You start the day at a Malibu beach party, then go shopping for the latest fashions on Robertson Blvd., and end up that night at a swanky nightclub dancing the night away beside a tabloid princess. It’s a happening lifestyle!

What does this mean for your curls though?

Being on-the-go in L.A. means being prepared for both brisk ocean breezes and curl drying heat, all while looking great and partying the night away! So Ouidad has some thoughts to help keep your L.A. locks gorgeous and under control:

• Visit our flagship salon in Santa Monica. Our stylists love to share curly hair care techniques and show you how you can embrace and easily manage those special spirals.
• Be prepared. Because you’re always on the go: keep some key products in your purse, like our Shine Glaze, which helps your curls make that quick transition into the nightlife.
• Read through our blog! As Los Angeles is near both Death Valley and the Mojave Desert – check out our great curl care tips on the Ouidad blog. We’ve got you covered for all occasions and seasons, like keeping your curls well hydrated and in top shape in those Hot, Hot, Hot! California Deserts!
