Frequently asked questions about Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel moisturizing gel
1. What makes Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel special?
This gel is specially formulated to fight humidity and heat, helping to prevent frizz and keep curls defined in any weather. Its formula contains Anti-Frizz Nano Technology® with sericin (silk protein), which creates an invisible barrier against moisture. The gel also provides a soft but firm hold without the crunchy hair effect, adds shine and moisturizes. It is suitable for all curl types and is cruelty-free, free of silicones, parabens, sulfates, mineral oils, phthalates and petroleum products.
2. Which hair types is this gel best suited for?
Although Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel is positioned as suitable for all curl types, its lightweight consistency makes it particularly well suited for fine, thin hair without weighing it down. However, those with thicker and thicker hair can also get great results, perhaps by using more product or combining it with other products.
3. How to properly apply Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel for best results?
There are several ways to apply the gel. The “rake and shake” method involves separating damp hair into sections and evenly distributing the gel with a finger comb through each section, then shaking the ends of the hair to form curls. You can also use the “praying hands” method by sliding your palms with gel through damp hair. Scrunching is bringing the palm of the hand down to the roots of the hair and gently squeezing to emphasize the curl. For extra moisturizing and frizz protection, it is recommended to apply a leave-in conditioner, such as Advanced Climate Control® Featherlight Styling Cream. After applying the gel, hair can be air-dried or diffused at low speed and temperature without touching the hair while drying.
4. Does Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel leave a sticky or stiff feeling on hair?
This gel is formulated to provide a soft and supple hold without the crunchy effect. Anti-Frizz Nano Technology® ensures that once dry, the gel forms a lightweight “caste” that can be gently “scrunched out” (scrunch out the crunch) for soft and moveable curls without feeling sticky or stiff.
5. Does Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel contain proteins? Can proteins in the formulation affect sensitive hair?
Yes, the gel contains hydrolyzed wheat proteins and wheat amino acids, as well as sericin (silk protein). Proteins can help strengthen hair, repair damage and improve elasticity. However, people with a high sensitivity to proteins should use this product with caution, watching the hair’s reaction, as excess protein can lead to dryness and breakage.
6. How long does the effect of Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel last and how do you refresh your hair in the following days?
The effect of the gel can last for several days, providing humidity protection and curl definition. The duration depends on hair type, climatic conditions and activity during the day. To refresh the hairstyle on the second and subsequent days, you can use the “spot refresh” method – moisturize individual strands with water and apply a small amount of gel to areas that have lost their shape or where frizz has appeared. The gel has a light, watery consistency that makes it easy to reapply without weighing the hair down.
7. Is there a stronger version of the Ouidad Advanced Climate Control gel? What is the difference between the regular and “strong” version?
Yes, there is an Advanced Climate Control Strong Hold Gel version. The main difference is the degree of hold. The Strong Hold version provides a stronger hold, which may be preferable for those who need a longer hold, especially in high humidity, or for hair that does not hold a curl well. Both versions feature Anti-Frizz Nano Technology® and are designed to fight humidity, but Strong Hold may contain a slightly different formulation, such as glycerin as a second ingredient, which may affect the way the product behaves under different conditions.
8. Where can I purchase Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel and how much does it cost?
Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel can be purchased from the official Ouidad website.
