Arrived with broken pump tops and leaking theough the box

"Three containers arrived with broken tops and leaking through the box. Reached out to customer service. Immediately heard back via an “AI Agent Sonya. ” Haven’t heard anything since (over a week). Very disappointed as I’ve ordered Ouidad products from Ulta and never had an issue."

Nice balance of hold and moisture

"Good product, but it didn't work well on my thick, coily hair. This product gives a deep clean without stripping curls. Lightweight feel with impressive curl control."

— Kizzy (5/5)

Moisturizing conditioner with great slip

"The product has a wonderful scent, but it didn't lather well for my thick hair. Not great for thin curls, but better for thicker hair. Does not weigh down my hair, even with multiple applications."

— Jayden R. (5/5)

Brings curls back to life

"Cleanses gently without stripping moisture, leaving my curls refreshed and hydrated after every wash. Perfect for frizz control, but I wish it helped define curls more. Works great for frizz control, but I wish it added more volume to my curls."

— Manuel J. (5/5)
