How to Choose a Formula
To Ouai’s credit, choosing a formula is easy.
Remember, your individual strands can be fine-textured while the overall volume is thick in density.
I see my best hair days when I layer aprotein treatmentlike keratinwith aleave-in conditioneror hair oil after washing.
But if you’re looking to treat yourself, then this is a worthy splurge.
