The ‘Curl Gurl’ with ‘Hair to Share’ knows curls (obviously!) and Ouidad! Ouidad products deliver gorgeous curls, are gentle, deeply moisturizing and guarantee to get your hair to its healthiest condition.
Last week, Ouidad and Myleik Teele, founder & CEO of CurlBox, hosted An Evening of Indulgence to unveil the new Ouidad Curl Recovery Collection! With signature “57 Sweet” cocktails (Pinnacle whipped vodka, pineapple juice, dollop of whipped cream and coconut shavings), hors d’oeuvres and a world of curls filling the room, the party was in full swing!

Hi BeautyStat dolls, your resident ‘Curl Gurl’ with Hair to Share did the unthinkable: I marched into the Ouidad Flagship Salon on Wednesday morning and cut my hair… 5-inches worth! Now, before anyone says “OMG, how could you?” (that’s all I keep hearing), let me start by saying that my wonderful stylist Anila (no one else at Ouidad’s wanted to touch my hair to cut it) did NOT want to cut my hair as short as I asked. In fact, Anila kept fighting me and saying “No, No, NOOOO! OK?” Well, …

Ah, Beautystat’s resident ‘Curl Gurl’ with HAIR TO SHARE is all smiles for miles again! This morning, I had the pleasure of being invited to an exclusive product launch breakfast at Sephora — before the store even opened to the public!

Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to FINALLY write a review for  Ouidad – world renowned QUEEN OF CURLS! I love and religiously use her products (I have the entire line). You can only imagine the sheer joy I felt when these two products arrived for me to review.

Wishing you could tame those curls and get rid of that frizz? Well, keratin treatments have been all the rage over the past several years, and, more importantly, in recent news. Back in February, BeautyStat reported about the California law that went into effect, demanding warning labels to be put on all of the Brazilian Blowout hair products containing formaldehyde.

One of our readers, Evelyn Lugo, wrote into us to share …
