Decent value
-05.25.13
Some nice products, but they contain sulfates and silicones. I think you could find a better curl kit for a similar amount of money; I definitely prefer DevaCurl's stuff, though you may need to venture outside of Sephora to find the best value kit.
-Conditioner: I guess it's lightweight when you use it as a conditioner. When left in the hair, it can get a little heavy-- I guess just use less of it and it'll probably work as intendend.
-Gel: Effectively keeps my hair frizz free, but too much really will leave your hair crunchy.
-Spray: Haven't really used this too much so I can't comment in depth; I don't particularly like the smell on this one.
-6x clips - shaped kind of like a duckbill, I really like these for a low effort way to get some tighter curls overnight. They don't really hurt to sleep on. These are my favorite part of the set, but I feel like you could find them for sub-$10 as the rest of the kit is just okay.

I have been using this product for several years now and I love it.it has saved my hair and I get so many compliments on my hair and I am always recommending this product. I should be on the ouidad payroll thats how many people I have told about how great this product is.

Worth a shot
-05.13.13
Quick Take: smells great, light, leaves hair soft
I've tried so many things to control my curls and end up using so many products in the process, but this kit is all I need to achieve the curls I want. My hair is not frizzy while using it and it is light leaving my hair soft and touchable. I'ts a good deal and definitely worth a try!

nice so far
-05.11.13
I've tried virtually every curly haired product any curly haired person says is worth trying. So far the styling gel seems to be working well. I only need a little and my hair stays relatively curly and isn't crunch. It does wear away as the day goes by - but it smells nice and doesn't crunch

Excellent for all types of curls
-05.06.13
Quick Take: good value
No more buying full sized or sample sized products for testing - only to be trashed after a few uses and much disappointment.
Ouidad is THE expert for curly hair of all types. Ever notice in commercials all healthy, shiny hair are portrayed by models with pin straight hair? Never for Ouidad. it doesn't take much product to leave your hair shiny, curly and healthy looking. Your hair will not have that crunchy feeling. Bye bye frizz!

Use Lots of product
-04.10.13
Quick Take: good value
I have recently got a Ouidad cut and this was a good deal to try out the products instead of buying them at the salon. I was surprised how much product you need to put on each section of hair for the rake & shake styling method. I love the clips, I will use those until the end of time (as long as I do not lose them). The moisture lock conditioner is a must have with textured, dry, frizzy hair. My only critique is after I style my hair, I dont feel like the gel is strong enough to hold it through my sleep regimen. The first style day looks best and the two days to follow, I usually put my hair up.

didnt really do much
-04.07.13
i got these because the conditioner i got as a sample made my hair look so soft and wavy. but the actual product doesn't seem to have the same effect on my hair like the sample one. gel or the spray doesn't really change anything either.

Not what I expected
-03.14.13
I was hoping this product was going to bring my curls back to life. I always wanted to try Ouidad. It didn't do much. Drug store brand products do more and are much cheaper. I don't think I will be buying this again.I did like the clips, I will use those.

Great way to try these products
-03.08.13
I'm fond of the leave in and the gel. The leave in isn't too heavy. The gel doesn't make my hair crunchy. I wasn't as fond of the spray. It made my hair look a little stringy when I tried to use it to revive my curls at the end of the day. The clips are great to add volume. I just put them in on each side of my part while my hair air dries.

Curl kit
-03.06.13
Quick Take: expert curl kit
I think these products work well. I wish the gel had a bit more hold though. However, it feels great and doesn't make hair crunchy or stiff. I didn't care for the leave in conditioner. That left my hair feeling coated and funky. I tried it several times, hoping I could find a way to make it work but I didn't.
I wouldn't purchase the leave in conditioner again.

Excellent for curly hair
-02.22.13
Quick Take: good value, large quantity, a steal!, great for curly hair, it works, rock n roll
I have very curly hair. At first I was not sure of this product. I tried the spray which doesn't work with me as well. But I started using the conditioner as a leave in, and the gel after that with my other products *Redken Ringlets serum" And regular conditioner. And its just the best. The instructions it comes with are not what worked for me, the hair clips are handy but they don't help with my curls at all because my hair is very curly no matter how I clip and dry it. But the conditioner and gel are just amazing! I highly recommend this. And they are all very large decent sizes. Full sizes I believe. VERY WORTH THE MONEY! Just experiment and give it a chance for sure.

Finally! Thabks Ouidad!!!
-02.19.13
I am almost 62 with fine shoulder-length hair. I noticed a few years ago that it had lost body, looking limp, lackluster, dull. It would not hold the style. I tried so many products and combinations with minimal effect. Then I tried a sample of the Heat and Humidity Gel. it was love at first try. My hair once again has body and shine and the style holds all day. Then I found the curl Kit and I am SOLD. Thanks Sephora!!

Creates wonders!
-02.15.13
Love, love, love the leave-in conditioner and climate control gel. My curls never looked this good before. Not sure what to do with the Botanical Boost yet since it didn't feel like it changed anything but I will give it a couple more tries. The rake and shake does not work for me so I just scrunch my hair.

Winning!
-02.12.13
Loved the sample of heat & humidity gel, so ordered the kit. The stay-in conditioner is great as well. My hair is fine and I am over 60, so it is also aging. Very little natural curl. These products are helping to restore body and shine. Only sad you didn't have the Playcurl Shampoo and Conditioner, had to go to the Oiudad website to order it. It is the line designed for my hair type.

Really nice kit.
-01.26.13
I have used the spray and gel for awhile and have always been really happy with the results. I decided to get this to refill my products and try the leave in conditioner. I absolutely love it. My curls are now soft and shiny(!) and I couldn't be happier. My only minor complaint is that the smell of the products is not my favorite, but I will gladly sacrifice that for these results.

Quick Take: good value, great value for the kit
I have color treated graying hair that is wavy and turning frizzy. I have tried many products and found they did not leave my hair feeing clean just heavy, greasy, unstylable. I tried and loved this kit. The leave in conditioner is my favorite. It is light and smoothing. I will never stop using it. Oudad is great!

Love, Love, Love Oiudad products! Especially these 3! They are just what you need to get great results and great curls. My only "dislike" is the leave-in spray could be bigger with this kit. Using it as recommended and refreshing your curls, its simply not enough. Other high end competitors offer this kit with the large spray and a few more items at a lower price. Would love to see it made available at Sephora!
