@AnonymousI'm a firm believer that haircuts are only necessary 2-3 times a year as long as you are taking care of your hair in the meantime. If you are using great products at home, using heat protectants (like OUAI Hair Oil), and weekly treatment masques, you should not have to trim your hair too frequently in order to preserve length (think every 3-6 months). And if your'e trying to grow hair out, avoid heat styling as much as possible and pop our Thin Supplements.

First of all, you’re one of biggest inspos Jen! Seriously love you so much, what are your fav Ouai products for thick wavy hair? Xo!

@MolllyElizabeth Hi Molly!! Thank you so much. For thick, wavy hair I suggest starting with OUAI Smooth Shampoo + Conditioner. If you want to air dry, use OUAI Wave Spray while it's damp and use OUAI Hair Oil on the ends to fight frizz. To extend your style, OUAI Dry Shampoo Foam is better for people with thick hair. It's a lifesaver!!
