Summer is such a wonderful time of the year. Being out in the sun, chlorinated water, and even salt can distress you hair though. We don’t have any oceans nearby so we are not personally plagued by salt here, but have plenty of exposure to the sun and chlorine. I was sent to review Ouidad Sun Shield Sun and Sport Leave-In Spray and Ouidad Water Works Clarifying Shampoo, which are designed to help protect hair.
Ouidad Water Works Clarifying Shampoo
- A gentle clarifying shampoo that is formulated with cleansing fruit acids to rid hair of salt water residue, chlorine, minerals, and build-up from styling products
- Fruit acids aid in color retention for color treated hair, eliminate courseness and restore shine
- A special blend of grapefruit and orange flower extracts, botanicals and vitamins creates a shampoo that gently removes build up without stripping hair
- $16 for 8.5 fl oz.
This product has a light floral scent and is clear in appearance. We’ve been busy using our above ground pool and a nearby community pool so quite a bit of exposure to chlorine lately. My hair was starting to become coarse and not as shiny.
I have been using this product weekly to help clarify my hair and I think it helps with shine and softness even though my hair is straight. My husband has wavy hair and was a little worried he would have floral scented hair when he went to work, but was pleased that the scent did not linger and thought his hair seemed more manageable. This product is recommended for wavy, curly, and kinky hair.
Ouidad Sun Shield Sun & Sport Leave In Conditioner
- A lightweight, conditioning spray to condition and protect hair
- Provides a shield against damaging environmental factors such as sun, wind, salt, and chlorine with specialized UV filters to protect strands
- Specialized protein and amino acids help to seal in moisture and prevent overexposure to the drying and stiffening elements that go hand in hand with outdoor activity
- Great for color protection particularly in the sun exposed months of spring and summer
- $21 for 8.5 fl oz
I love the refreshing scent of this spray. This product comes with an easy to use spray style pump. It is also recommended for hair that is wavy, curly, or kinky. I have straight hair, but feel it helped provide a light hold when air drying and styling my hair. My hubby felt he had a little more control with using this product on his hair that gets more and more out of control the longer it becomes.
Ouidad’s products are made in the USA and not tested on animals. They have a large array of hair care products and are geared for those with wavy, curls, tight curls, or kinky hair.
Ouidad, the “Queen of Curls”, is a very noteworthy individual in the curly hair industry. She was teased for her curls when she was growing up in Lebanon and then in the ’70s, started perfecting ways to style and cut curly hair. She opened her first salon that catered to curly hair in 1984 and also provides curl education to empower stylists with the knowledge of how to work with curls.
