Without question, Ouai haircare has really made its mark in 2018. If you have never come across the brand before it is the brainchild of Jen Atkin the lady who is very much responsible for maintaining the manes of the Kardashian clan, Gigi Hadid and Gwen Stefani to name just a few, a range of products has been developed and if it is good enough for them, well it is good enough for me. With shampoos, conditioners which are sulphate-free, they use a smart keratin to repair and improve hair strength. Even the styling products are designed to nourish hair and bring out its natural beauty. This year I have really got to know the brand and the three products I am obsessed with are the Ouai Scrub (featured here) the Rose Oil (featured here) and Memory Mist (featured here).
Pronounced 'Way' which is French for 'Yes' there is a lot to treat yourself, your friends and absolutely anything with this Christmas.
The first Christmas Gift Set is called Three Ouai Kit (£25) and it is described as follows:
No one product can satisfy your every need that's why there's the Three OUAI. Get texture, volume and waves with this perfect travel trio, containing all your favourites. This is a great little travel kit and because the products are travel sized, if you have never tried anything from Ouai, then this is a great way to give them a try.
The first product within the kit is the Wave Spray - This is a weightless mist, which again, once spritzed feels as though there is nothing on your hair. Its designed for that effortlessly chic, undone hair look and it is packed full of amazing ingredients. Infused with rice protein to add hold and memory for that "just got out of the ocean and my hair dried perfectly" look. I love how easy it is to use this spray and if like me you have naturally wavy hair that never really seems to hold its curl, this spray makes a lot of difference in how long the curls hold, especially the following morning.
The second product within this trio is the Dry Texture Foam - Gone are the days of using a foam in your hair and it going crunchy, this one from Ouai has an amazing texture. Using wheat proteins, it is lightweight and invisible and is perfect for creating and holding that undone, lived in look. I have used this foam when I have allowed my hairs natural curls to remain unstraightened and it holds the look incredibly well.
The third product is called Volume Spray - If like me you want volume to your hair but don't want to spend ages back-combing it to then curse when you have to de-tangle, this is the answer. Again, it is weightless when sprayed but it really does lift the hair to create long-lasting volume and it is the perfect addition to your 'do for this coming party season.
For a little extra, Ouai have included some wave clips and they are perfect for creating lazy curls and they are incredibly easy to use.

The second of the two sets is called Swing Both Ouais (£40) and it is described as being 'Our limited edition XL Hair Oil and best selling Texturizing Hair Spray let you decide which direction you’re taking your hair today.' Inside there is
A Limited Edition XL Hair Oil - This is an award-winning, multitasking oil which not only smoothes frizz and seals split ends, it also gives the hair that high-gloss, super-smooth finish. What I love about this oil is that once it is on my hair, it doesn't feel like an oil. I have combination hair which means I have dry ends and greasy roots, so I am always careful as to which products I use on my hair as my scalp can turn into a nightmare within a matter of hours. This oil is packed full of amazing ingredients which include African Galanga, Ama and Asian Borage oils and they work to keep colour from fading as well as protecting hair from heat damage.
The second product is the Texturising Hair Spray - When I use a hairspray, which admittedly is not something I use a lot of. I don't want to be taken back to my school day of having crispy hair from too much spray. This spray is so lightweight it hardly feels as though there is anything on your hair, but it does manage to keep everything in place, especially those pesky flyaways plus it also helps to create volume. As mentioned, I have an oily scalp and the bonus about using this product for me is that it contains Volcanic minerals which work to absorb oil and refresh hair.
So from Ouai we have two handy hair kits which contain some amazing products and they are perfect for anyone who is already a fan of the brand, for someone wanting to get to know the brand or for anyone who just loves styling their hair.
