Haircare Testing

They recommend using it as a heat protectant before blow drying or styling, and it can also be used on shiny, colored hair. It aims to tame frizz and add a glossing effect. It can also be used on split ends. The product claims to be paraben, phthalate, and sulfate-free, which suggests it’s a gentle formula designed for damaged hair or color-treated hair. Despite the claims, I found it slightly surprising when comparing it to competitors, as some users find it provides more color protection than products like Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil, even though its primary advertised function is primarily as a leave-in oil designed to smooth frizz. Comparing it to Concentrated High Shine Oil from the same brand, the OUAI oil provides different benefits despite both taming frizz and leaving hair smoother. Ouai hair oil is one of the rare options that provides color-safe formulas and frizz control functionality all in one slick oil. The Mane Attraction oil is more focused on promoting hair growth, while As Am Dry Scalp Oil bridges the gap between dandruff relief and frizz control. The ouai oil provides a well-rounded experience for someone who wants frizz control, shine, and color safety without adding too many extra ingredients.
