Identify Your Unique Curl Type

You’ve heard of Ouidad services, the revolutionary cutting and styling system designed especially for curly hair. People have lots of questions about how it works and what they need to do to keep their curls soft and defined. Today, we’ll start with some of the basics – identifying your color type – since there are specialized Ouidad products for each type of curly hair. 

Loose. Loose curls are often called waves, those romantic, gentle twists that give your hair body and bounce. They’re gentle, elongated S-shaped bends that need fullness and lift to show them off. For loose curls, it’s important to use the right products that define and moisturize without weighing them down, since their lazy, delicate nature will flatten with too much weight. 

Classic. A classic curl never goes out of style. Classics are bouncy spirals that are full of body, with dramatic movement not found in other curl types. Classic curls tend to be dry and frizzy without the right treatment, because the spiral shape forces the top layer of each strand, called the cuticle, to stay open and expose the core to damage. That’s why it’s important to use the right products with the perfect balance to hydrate and nourish, letting that classic curl definition shine through.

Tight. Tight curls are compact coils that bounce back like springs. Their tight springs are gorgeous and full of body. Hydration is the key here, since tight curls that dry out will bend into irregular patterns and frizz. Ouidad products for tight curls use botanicals, amino acids, and luscious silk proteins to hyper-hydrate and bring tight curls to life.

Kinky. A tight, close-knit z pattern forms kinky curls, a bold and beautiful style with abundant natural volume. Kinky curls are super tight with a bounce like springs in fun, zig-zag twists and turns. Kinky curls are fragile and need just the right care, with the perfect blend of hydration and oils to keep them soft, luscious, and well-defined.
