OUAI Heat-Free Air Dry Styling Foam

Most Helpful Positive Review

Soft waves

My hair is naturally slightly wavy, fine, and has little volume. I wanted curl enhancement and body without frizz. I wash my hair every 2 days – so I needed products for the follow up day. I had already been using Curlsmith Curl Quenching Conditioning Wash Shampoo and Double Cream Deep Quencher C...onditioner. Sometimes I substituted a body shampoo (not a curling one) which did not make a difference in the outcome with the products below. 1. Curlsmith In Shower Style Fixer: Left my hair more curly (put on soaking wet curls) but a bit crunchy. It took forever to dry (if I wrapped it in a towel, it made it INsufficiently curly). Neutral scent. 2. Curlsmith Hold Me Softly Balm: Left my hair soft but not curly enough to hold much curl by the end of the day. Neutral scent. 3. Deva Curl Frizz-fighting volumizing foam: It definitely increased curls and gave the most volume. Volume is better with briefly using a diffuser, plus it takes forever to dry otherwise b/c you put it on dripping wet hair. Smell is neutral - better than products below. 4. Mixed Chick Morning After Foam: Put on dry hair on non-shower day, and it miraculously brought curl and bounce to my hair. Smell is just okay. 5. Ouai Wave Spray – I was disappointed with the amount of wave (I needed more). I also tried a diffuser briefly on it which helped volume a bit but left my hair frizzy and still without enough curl. Scent is not for me. 6. Ouai Air Dry Foam – Putting it on damp clean hair brought softer and less defined waves and less volume than Deva Curl, but my daughter thought it looked great with softer waves (rather than curls) Scent isn't great. MY CONCLUSION: Deva Curl Frizz-Fighting Volumizing Foam gives me more curls and volume. Mixed Chick Morning After Foam helps so much that I can wash my hair every 3-4 days instead of every other day.
