Reviews

STILL EXPERIMENTING

"Started using TRES FX back in 1996 which was GREAT!! Used it for years then stopped like 10 years ago due to the change in the product. Bummer. So I'm still experimenting with this gel. And the bottle was only half full cuz the lid wasn't on completely so most of it was in the box. Gotta get better people to handle and ship your products."

— Christina C. (3/5)

Defines curls without weighing hair down

"This is a holy grail for curly hair! It defines my curls and adds shine. My curls are defined with this gel, and it's light enough not to weigh my hair down. My curls are more defined and less frizzy after using this product for a week."

— Kenna B. (5/5)

"I have loved Ouidad products for 3 decades now!!!"

— Dena (5/5)

Deep hydration without heavy residue

"This product cleanses well without stripping my natural oils. I love how defined my curls feel after using this gel. Fantastic mousse for volume without stiffness."

— Stephen (5/5)

Light hold that feels natural

"Does not dry out my hair, which is rare for a curl focused cleansing product. Simple and effective curl control solution. This styling mousse provides great volume and a light hold. Perfect for my curly hair."

— Eric (5/5)

Brings curls back to life

"Leaves my curls soft and manageable, making styling quicker and much easier every single morning. Deep clean product, but slightly drying. My hair feels incredibly soft after conditioning."

— Eithan (5/5)

Enhances volume without stiffness

"Love how soft and shiny this conditioner makes my hair, but it doesn't help with frizz as much. This gel holds curls firmly without crunch. Great product, but curl definition could be better."

— Jenny (5/5)

Quick curl refresh between wash days

"Fantastic for dry curls. Hair stays smooth all day. My curls are more defined and less frizzy after using this product for a week. This product is too heavy and leaves curls flat."

— Odilia (5/5)

Bad customer service

"The customer service for this company is terrible. I will no longer use the products because of it."

— Kimberly A. (1/5)

Great product, poor packaging

"Hi Ouidad. This is the second time one of the liter/32 oz bottles of product has leaked in the box (where they’re inexplicable stored horizontally) upon delivery. I’ve had to clean up all the containers in the shipment, which is an unnecessary pain. Love your product and will continue to promote the Ouidad brand. But please find a better way to secure and ship those large bottles!?"

— Madeleine C. (3/5)

Q&A

How is Curl Quencher applied? How much do I use? My granddaughter recommended it and I bought it, but I don't think I'm using it correctly.
