Disclosure: I was provided with free bottles of the Ouidad PlayCurl Shampoo, Condition and Mousse to have facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.
I have wavy hair. I wish I had Kerri Russel curls, but I wasn’t born with them. I’ve always had waves, lots and lots of waves. When I was younger I hated those waves. I wanted the straight hair my friends had. They could have Farrah Faucet wings, and I couldn’t.
But as I got older and I started to realize that my hair was actually really beautiful, and I began to play up those waves. I started to realize that I had really gorgeous hair that had a lovely curl patter that many, many women wanted. I was told more than once that women pay good money to have my curls put in their hair. That is where Ouidad PlayCurl comes in. Ouidad is one of the foremost curl enhancing product lines on the market. I started getting acquainted with Ouidad a few years ago when I decided I wanted to show off my natural hair and I decided to try the curly girl method. Ouidad PlayCurl is perfect for the curly girl method.
PlayCurl is perfect for wavy hair like mine. Since I don’t have the great curl structure that true curly hair has, my hair can lose it definition easily if I use products that are heavy or weigh my hair down. I started using PlayCurl Shampoo and Conditioner a few days ago. They are perfect for keeping my waves moisturized while providing a refreshing cleanse without being to heavy. I added the PlayCurl Mousse for a soft definition and curl hold.
I have really fallen in love with Ouidad PlayCurl products and can’t wait to try the Ouidad Sea Spray and Texture Taffy. I was on the Ouidad website and loved playing around with the different links. Under the Shop Products link you can search my Curl Type and Concern among other options. This was great for me since I can easily find the perfect match without searching through tons of product description.
Which Ouidad PlayCurl product are you ready to try?
I go back and forth on straightening or letting it air dry with curls and waves. I do find when I let it go curly that if I use a product made for curly hair, it always looks healthier. I don’t know why I never tried this brand before. They’re curl experts it seems.

Sounds great! My hair is not quite curly, but not straight either. Unfortunately, if I let it air dry or even blow dry without straightening, it just comes out a frizzy mess.

I get in hair moods and can go either way but there is one thing I know for sure I have to fix it! My hair is thick and frizzy if it’s not curled or straightened.

wow it definitely added definition to your waves and made them true curls. I always get in moods but my hair tends to want to stay straight and not curl 9or hold a curl) at all. i’ll have to find this brand since I’ve never heard of it before.

My oldest daughter has true natural ringlets which can easily turn bushy and frizzy if not managed. I would love to have her try the Climate Control line to make sure her curls stay defined throughout the school day!

I have a little bit of curl and try to get my hair to lie straight. Wish I could tame my frizz!

I want to try that so much. I made my own and it was really nice, I’d like to see what theirs is like.
I don’t believe I have ever tried this brand before, but I’ve heard so much good about it!

My hair has just enough wave to it that I have to straighten or use hot curlers to get curls. I’ve never tried this brand before, but will check it out. Btw, you look amazing… love your hair!

My hair is very frizzy and I have to straighten it or put a ton of product in it. This looks like a great shampoo that may help my curls.

I have hideous hair myself–straight as a board and baby fine. My son, on the other hand, has gorgeous, long, curly red hair. It’s very thick so the curls are weighted down by the length, but his curls are perfect little ringlets. I’m always looking for hair care products for him, and I probably spend far more time on HIS hair than my own.

That’s nice that it keeps your hair moisturized without feeling heavy. That’s one complaint I have about shampoo/conditioners sometimes. You have really beautiful hair BTW!

I’ve bounced from curly to straight a lot over the years. But when it’s curly I like to use Ouidad products too, because they really do help keep the definition of the curls.

I need to give Ouidad a try again. I used their products when I was a teenager and I didn’t know what I was doing my hair.

I think your hair looks cute, I have straight kinda frizzy hair I have to do something with it or it doesn’t look right. I use to be able to add mousse and it would curl up but not so much anymore.

I wish I had wavy hair, but unfortunately it’s straight as a board and won’t hold a curl for anything.

I’ve used Ouidad products in the past and they made my hair frizzy, that’s not necessary a bad thing as the product/s did make my hair appear softer. However, when I slapped a little gel on my hair, it looked great. I’ll definitely have to give these a try to see how they work. Thanks for the review!

that can be hard. I had to find the right combo, especially on high humidity days. gel helps a lot to keep the definition.
My hair is neither curly nor straight it’s kind of in the middle lOL> This looks like it works great on your hair.

Love your hair’s natural wave! It’s always best to work with it instead of fighting it. I’ll learn one day. 😉

Oh, how funny — my sister just told me she has some of this for me to try! We both havve very, very tight curls and she said this was really great for her hair. I can’t wait to try it.

Just wanted to come back and say that I tried some of my sister’s Ouidad today; it definitely defined my curls but as the day progressed the humidity still got to me. I think the South will just always win that battle against my hair!

Okay – I think I am really going to have to try this now! My curls have become dry and lifeless!

I’m jealous of your wavy hair! I have the curls but not like Keri Russel- my curls face in every direction & can’t seem to decide what to do! I flat iron most days, but I would definitely wear mine natural if mine was wavy like yours.

Your hair looks so cute! I have somewhat wavy hair, but I usually just straighten it when I blow dry. Otherwise its a frizzy mess. I wonder how this would work on my wavy hair?
