Why did Ouidad make it?
Ouidad often takes inspiration for designing hair care products and regimens from the science of skin care. In the same way that you protect your lips and skin from environmental dehydration, you should protect your hair. So, as you would apply a moisturizer to your skin before applying foundations or powders, for curly hair it is essential to moisturize before applying your styling gel or lotion.
How does it work?
New Ouidad Moisture Lock Leave-In Conditioner is a weightless treatment that infuses each individual hair with conditioning proteins. Conditioned hair is the best way to protect it from environmental factors such as heat and humidity, but also to prepare your hair for styling products. Place a dollop in the palm of your hands and rub your hands together. Gently run your hands throughout your hair, spreading the conditioner, and leave the product in your hair. This can be done in the shower without rinsing or once you are out of the shower. Your hair will be instantly detangled and protected with extra moisture so it is ready for styling products to effectively define and manage any curl.
What are the key ingredients?
Natural Arnica, a known homeopathic “healing” ingredient, enhances hair strength, while increasing scalp circulation to promote healthy hair growth. Promotes long-lasting hydration and helps seal the cuticle layer to prevent frizz. Nourishing benefits encourage healthier hair and scalp.
Prickly Pear Cactus seals in moisture for better conditioning. Helps hair hold onto moisture by drawing it from the air and creating a protective barrier against moisture loss. Enables the delivery of intense moisturization without weighing hair down and restores damaged hair to a full-bodied shine – even in the driest weather conditions.
Green Tea and Pro-Vitamin B5 protect hair and restore healthy texture and shine. Antioxidants that smooth and strengthen the hair for optimal protection against damage. Promote long lasting vibrancy for maximum luster, body, and manageability.
What is the end result?
Beautiful, conditioned curls that are protected against even harsh hair environments and prepared with a moisture foundation for styling products.
What type of hair is it designed for?
Moisture Lock is specially formulated for curls that require the highest level of frizz controlling moisture. It is appropriate for most hair types, particularly dehydrated hair, but is not for use on thin or limp curls.
Application Tips
For people with thick, dehydrated hair, it is best to use Moisture Lock after using a conditioning rinse that will help to detangle curls. For regular curls that are not significantly dry, Moisture Lock can be used in place of your regular conditioner, the only difference being you do not have to rinse it out.
For most people, shampoo, rinse with regular conditioner, use the leave in conditioner then come out the shower, use the spray in and style.
After styling if you find the ends still frizzy from the hair not being properly conditioned, it’s a great quick fix to put on the ends to give them a shiny seal.
Moisture Lock is also lightweight and moisturizing enough to be applied to dry hair throughout the day when you need to tame frizz or bring curls back to life, similar to the Botanical Boost Spray In Conditioner.
