Cheap Ouidad Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel

Customer Ratings:

If you have curly hair, you probably are always looking for a product that will work. I have whole cabinets full of products that didn't do what I expected. So, when I saw this product finally available on Amazon, I wanted to spread the word about Ouidad products for us curly-haired people. This is the only, and I mean ONLY, gel that has ever done what it said it would..and then some. It made my hair look great with little (no) effort. I'm not afraid of rain, beach weather, or other crazy-hair-making weather anymore! It totally works and it's light, not crunchy. Other products are all good..you can't go wrong. But, if you buy only one, this is it. I use this, the deep treatment, and the clear pomade.

I have type 3b/3c hair with high porosity. It is fine, but I have a lot of it and it frizzes terribly without product. I live in a humid climate (DC) and I need a gel that can really keep my hair looking nice. I first started using this gel in 2000, when I grew out a relaxer. It worked well for me, but always mixed with another gel to weigh my hair down a bit (I like to reduce curl, not enhance). I stopped using Climate Control in 2006, when I decided to do a Japanese treatment to straighten my hair. Beginning in 2009, I grew out the TR and finally cut off all my relaxed hair last month. So I'm a long time user of Ouidad Climate Control who went back to it due to a return to curly hair.

Ouidad Climate Control helps my hair handle humidity. But I still get some frizz by the end of the day. I find that it isn't a good stand alone gel, as it doesn't give me the definition I like. I like to use it in conjunction with another gel so that I get well defined curls these days, it's LA Looks Sport Gel. So I will use a leave-in conditioner in the shower, seal with coconut, apply the Ouidad Climate Control and THEN apply the LA Looks for definition. When I use the Ouidad on its own, I tend to get stringlets and they get really crunchy. This way, I can use just enough gel for the humidity benefit but get my definition elsewhere.

Overall, this is a good gel. At least for me, it doesn't work on its own as a curl definer. Also, if you follow the Curly Girl method, be aware that there is a non-water soluble silicone towards the bottom of the ingredient list (dimethicone). I do follow Curly Girl, but I modify it by shampooing with a non-sulfate shampoo on occasion to avoide cone buildup. For those who are protein sensitive, this gel isn't for you either.

2013 UPDATE: After some time using the Curly Girl method (no sulfates, no silicones) I am back to using this product. Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition is no longer silicone free. Ever since then, the Curly Girl method has been a flop. I couldn't find another conditioner that gave me good results and I was struggling with frizz. After a lot of experimenting, I decided to give Ouidad Gels another look. I tried both the Climate Control and the Curl Quencher. Climate Control is a great gel for me. I find that 2 parts Climate Control and 1 part LA Looks Sports Gel is perfect for my tightly curled hair. It really eliminates frizz, isn't too crunchy, and gives me great curl formation. I also highly recommend the Ouidad Moisture Lock Leave-in Conditioner.

Honest reviews on Ouidad Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel

I too have been on a lifetime search for an effective hair gel. My hair is pretty curly kinda like Julianna Margulies from the ER TV series. The other gels I have tried before this one were either so light that they did not control the frizz or too heavy that they left my hair feeling sticky, gummy or stiff. I put this gel in my hair when it is pretty wet to set the curl and let it dry. It dries a bit crispy but then you use Ouidad's pomade to open up your hair to amazing soft, frizz free curls. Ouidad truly is the Queen of Curls and using this gel along with her whole regime makes my hair so beautiful, it is unrecognizable from before I used it.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Ouidad Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel

Here's what you may not know, when placing an order w/Ouidad....

In order to purchase the kit that is advertised on TV, you must enroll

in their automatic delivery program....Yes, that means....you have to

buy the product, and authorize the Ouidad company to charge your credit

card, and automatically ship this product to you.

I called, and asked for clarification....did they really expect me to

enroll in an automatic shipment program for a product I have yet to try??

The customer service representative said, Yes. She also said that was the only

way to purchase the kit advertised on TV....

It seems to me, that in this day and age, with the economy being what it is,

perhaps Ouidad is more interested in lining her pockets, than to cater to

customers....how can you expect, in a struggling financial economy, for people

to try a product, and then if you are not satisfied, deal with the credit card

company to stop Ouidad from continually billing and shipping to you?? Is this

how a company should do business nowadays.

Beware if you purchase, I read other reviews where Ouidad representatives were

NOT helpful to customers who were not satisfied and had trouble getting the auto-

matic deliveries and charges stopped.
