If you have wavy, curly or kinky hair, or any variation in-between, then you have probably sought refuge in a high quality hair oil to tame and nourish those unruly tresses. Thankfully, Ouidad has devoted itself to caring for curly hair, and their new Mongongo Oil Multi-Use Curl Treatment is a tremendously effective multipurpose treatment oil that can be used as a rinse out conditioner or as a leave-in.
Given that I have long, naturally curly hair, I know a thing about trying to tame frizz, moisturize my hair and scalp, and trying to find products that make my hair soft and manageable. This may seem like an easy task, but curly hair tends to be dry and more tricky to care for.
My preferred method of use is to use this as a leave-in on damp or dry hair. I simply warm a couple of drop between my palms and work it through my hair. It leaves my hair soft, manageable, separates and defines my curls into pretty ringlets, it fights frizz and leaves my hair with a lovely shine. It has a creamy, warm slightly sweet aroma that is very pleasant, but it does fade away soon upon application, and therefore will not interfere with any fragrances that you may wear.
According to Ouidad,
Liquid gold elixir leaves all types of curls soft, manageable and illuminated with healthy shine. Infused with oil from the mongongo nut and blended with coconut, American palm seed oil, and broccoli seed oil, this fast absorbing liquid gold elixir delivers intense hydration to all curl types as it nourishes, restores natural luster, and protects against damage from heat styling and UV rays. Curls are soft, manageable, frizz-free, and illuminated with healthy shine.
Who does this work for:
Loose Curls:
- Seals split ends.
- Lightweight heat protectant.
- Moisturizing UV shield.
- Fights frizz and flyaways
- Lightweight heat protectant
- Moisturizing UV shield
Tight Curls:

Kinky Curls:

Directions:
As a Conditioner: Pour a quarter size amount of treatment into hand and add a drop of water. Work into wet hair and leave on for 3-5 minutes. Rinse and style as usual.
As a Leave-in: Use fingertips to moisturize scalp and hydrate wet or dry hair. As a Finisher: Warm a few drops between palms, concentrating on ends for frizz control and shine. Perfect for separating tight and kinky curls.

Sounds like a lovely oil for curly haired gals! My hair does better when I use oil before I shampoo, leaving it on for at least 30 minutes and even better when I leave it on longer.
ReplyDeleteIt really is! I suspect that it would be a great tamer and frizz fighter for all hair types! You could definitely use it as you have described! You should enter!
DeleteMy hair would be their version of the classic curls. This multiuse curl treatment claims to:
ReplyDeleteFights frizz and flyaways

ReplyDeleteHi Wonderfluf, This definitely works to moisturize and soften my curls! I think that you would really like this! Good luck!
DeleteThis product sounds like a pretty good oil to use to seal in moisture. My hair is very curly, not quite kinky and it always benefits from a light oil to seal in as my last step or as a lubricant when straight
ReplyDeleteHi Mimi, I am really finding that this oil works really well on my hair. Mine is also very curly, and sometimes pretty kinky (depending on humidity). I am getting great results with this oil, and definitely think that it's worth trying! Good luck!!!!
DeleteI would love to win this to my friend that has curly hair and complains about it being frizzy!

DeleteBroccoli oil sounds so odd to me, but it's interesting to know it works in hair care.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly seems to work!
DeleteWe recently moved and our new house has harder water. I notice even with our water softener my hair always seems drier than before. Fall is a great time to find a new moisturizer!
ReplyDeleteHi Veronica, It's so funny that you say that. I don't have a water softener, but my sister used to, and every time that I stayed at her house I noticed that it made my hair and skin dry! I think that you will like this oil!
DeleteI've heard such amazing things about that
ReplyDeleteIt really lives up to the hype, there is no question! My curly hair loves it!
DeleteI have used other ouidad products and I've heard that this product is so good that it was sold out.

ReplyDeleteHi KV H, It definitely moisturizes my curls, and bet it would yours as well. Good luck!
DeleteI have really curly hair in right after I shower, than I use a detangular comb and comb all my curls out and my hair then is wavy, but I lose so much of the curls. This might be what I'm looking for to tame frizz and make my hair look healthy and shiny too.
ReplyDeleteI think applying this to damp hair and then giving your hair a little scrunch will help restore your curls!
DeleteMy hair is very thick, wavy, and dry. With the right products I can get nice loose curls. Would love to try this.
ReplyDeleteI think that this would work quite well for your hair! Good luck!
DeleteI would love to win because I have wild curls that are hard to handle and it's dry. It sounds like a great product.
ReplyDeleteMy curls are quite wild as well, and it is definitely working for me! Good luck!
DeleteI dry, coarse, color treated wavy hair that will frizz without some type of gel. I love to air dry my hair, but I have to add some type of oil to combat the frizz. This curl oil sounds prefect!

Hi Austin,
DeleteThat is so nice of you! Good luck!
There are already several curly-haired lovelies I have in mind to gift this to if I win. While I like the idea of a rinse-out conditioner, I would use it as a leave-in - it costs a bit much for me to rinse away! My sister is always looking for products that actually work on her daughter's long, curly but fine hair. This might be it!
ReplyDeleteI think that the curly-haired lovelies in your life would really love this! Good luck!
DeleteHi Lynne!
DeleteCONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! You won the OUIDAD Mongongo Oil Multi-Use Curl Treatment! I am sending you an email right now, so please respond ASAP so that I can email the company with your contact information so that they can send this to you ASAP! xo, Helen
I get frizzy curls so this would help my hair look great!
