Q&A
In your quest for the curly hair of your dreams, numerous creams, mousses and (too many) gels have let you down, right? We coat our curls with scented gels, wait to see the results – and then find our hair is as stiff as cardboard.
The market for curly hair products has absolutely exploded in recent years. The multitude of choices raises a new problem – how to choose the products that will define my curls while leaving them silky and soft?
A GEL, YES, BUT NOT JUST ANY ONE!
Gel has gotten a bad rep but is, in fact, an excellent ally to define your strands, provide hold and reduce frizzies. You can thereby adorn your fabulous curls longer.
Here are our personal favourites:
For its protection against humidity: Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Heat and Humidity Gel (also offered as a strong-hold gel)
For its hydrating formula: Ouidad Curl Quencher Moisturizing Styling Gel
For its very strong hold: Ouidad Vitalcurl + Gel Tress Effects
If, regardless of the gel type used, your hair is stiff, start by applying a hydrating lotion.
SCRUNCHING: THE KEY TO SUCCESS!
Once your hair is completely dry, gel will create a barrier that will stiffen your curls. Don’t panic! To eliminate the cardboard effect, it’s important to carefully scrunch your hair to reactivate movement and soften the strands. Warm up a bit of oil or finishing cream between your palms and then delicately work it all through your hair.
After these steps, your curls will have bounce, will be silky and well defined and will have enough hold to remain beautiful for days.
