@brownie1234 Try OUAI Curl Jelly in damp hair. If it's still a little frizzy when it dries, try OUAI Hair Oil from mid-shaft to ends.

Hi Jen.. how do you get a wet curl look like Kourtney?

[JenAtkin]

@NikkiSis Lots and lots of OUAI Soft Mousse and OUAI Hair Oil. 

[NikkiSis]

Thank you Jen. I will try this out.

I just bought the rose hair and body oil. What would be secret tips on the best way to use it. I am 32 and I am trying to get and keep that radiance my skin and hair seems to be losing.

[JenAtkin]

@ashkosko86 It's great on damp hair when you air dry, or on dry ends after a blowout when you want a sleek, shiny look. Rub that sh*t all over- it has Rosehip Oil which can minimize appearance of stretch marks (not saying you have those...but just another plus!). I use it on my pulse points like a perfume oil.

Hey Jen! ❤ What are some of your favorite drugstore hair products? Love you girl! xx

Hi, what is the best shampoo for thin curly hair that can become either tangled and dry or very oily? I can't seem to get a good balance.

[JenAtkin]

@Anonymous Hi- have you tried OUAI Curl Shampoo and Conditioner? They will help balance hair at the root and keep hair nourished at the ends. Try OUAI Dry Shampoo Foam in between washes- it's great for girls with curls. We also have a great detangler- OUAI Smooth Spray.

Hi Jen! I love your products! What would you say is the best for beach waves as far as products and tools?

[JenAtkin]

@ItsLilyJay Definitely OUAI Memory Mist to prep strands before styling. It's a heat protectant and is heat activated to lock styles into place. I'd use a 1" wand or iron of your choosing and go through the hair leave a bit of hair straight at the end of each strand. Finishing with OUAI Texturizing Spray for that lived-in look.

My daughter (18) is as obsessed as I am with your products. I have to send them to her at college (U of Arizona) every 5-6 weeks. She is mixed race, like North... (black and white) Starting with Shampoo, what products do you recommend for her? Then, since she washes once a week, what does her daily routine look like? (for refreshing curls) She feels like she's missing a leave in, which is her favorite part of any hair routine! Thanks for your time, I've had many conversations with Ouai VS, to no resolve... Love these products!! Thanks for creating them. xoxo Britt -Scottsdale AZ pic of Savannah below:

@brittybratt Um hello gorgeous daughter! Here's what I'd suggest for her hair. 1. OUAI Smooth Shampoo and Conditioner 2. OUAI Curl Jelly 3. OUAI Hair Oil 4. OUAI Treatment Masque- 1x per week!!

I have very dry, frizzy, coarse, and overprocessed hair. I wash it once a week and half air dry/blow dry. I have been using serums and products in my hair to help it improve, and have recently purchased a silk pillowcase to help me. Is there anything else you can recommend to help me get shiny, soft and smooth hair again? Thank you!

[JenAtkin]

@emiwng Sounds like you should try OUAI Dry Supplements. Your hair may be damaged beyond topical treatments, and ingestibles are truly the only thing that are going to fix hair from the root outwards. They take 90 days on average to see results, but trust me when I say they will change your hair.

Question: How do I continue being a boss ass b****? 💸 you are such an inspiration and the ultimate boss. Thanks for inspiring women everywhere.

[JenAtkin]

@vtruuu Thank you! I am soooooo tired right now! But it's my community and people like you who keep me motivated. I love meeting all of the OUAI fam when I travel around the world and they keep me determined to keep changing up the hair game!

[MzRodz]

Omg I love this!!! Stay bossy!

[amm5]

Should I stop taking my Ouai Thin hair vitamins after a certain amount of time or is it safe to take them for as long as I want to??

[JenAtkin]

@amm5 They are safe to take as long as you want!

[marissalyse]
