Product Love: Ouai Hair Oil.

As someone with fine processed hair I find that I need to use some sort of leave in conditioner/dressing whenever I wash my hair. I need something that I can apply to wet hair that will smooth things out so that I can comb it easily without breakage and I need something that gives my hair a heavy boost of hydration so that it remains frizz free throughout the day. Oh, and because my hair is fine I don't want to use anything that is too heavy or greasy which will weigh it down. (I don't blow dry my hair or use heated appliances on it so I don't need any heat protection.) 

For a long time I used Oribe Supershine (which is an amazing product that I will certainly go back to) but I get bored and sometimes I like to swap things around and try new or different products. 

OUAI haircare is a newish kid on the block of luxury haircare and my first purchase from the range was their Finishing Cream. I hadn't done my research (by which I mean read the 'How to Use' section on Sephora's website!) and expected this to be something along the lines of Supershine that I could apply to my wet hair but it turned out that it really is a finishing cream that you apply to the ends of dry hair to avoid strays and frizzes...which is fine but I really needed something that I could use on wet hair as a detangler as well. When I tried this on wet hair it simply made my hair look greasy and stringy so it wasn't what I needed.

And then I got a bottle of OUAI Hair Oil as part of a gift pack, which was fortunate as I wouldn't have picked this out for myself - I tend to stay away from oils as they can be too heavy for my hair. However, I found that one pump of this applied to wet hair ticked all the boxes of my haircare needs. It made my hair easy to comb, it hydrated it, conditioned it, protected my colour, made it smooth and shiny and even lightly scented it, all without weighing it down.

I do find that I need to be careful not to be too heavy handed with this but one pump is exactly the right amount for my shoulder length hair.

While it's not exactly cheap at $24.00 for 1.7fl oz it's cheaper than a lot of other luxury haircare products, and the fact that I use a small measured amount of this means that a bottle lasts a long time so it works out to be fairly economical in the long run.

If you are looking for a conditioning hair oil I recommend that you give this a one a go. You can find it at sephora.com or us.spacenk.com
