The bottles that I have from this line of products say "No animal testing".

Yes my curly, colored hair friend it does!! Blonde till I got older and wanted to keep it blonde, for as long as I can remember. I have started trying this product and I am very happy with it. I suggest that you try the travel kit because of the cost and if it does not work out for you, you have not lost a ton of money on it.

ABSOLUTELY!

In my experience, your hair has to be really curl to use this product. It's known for weighing hair down. I too have wavy curly hair, and when I used this, I just had waves.

Absolutely!! I have been searching for a good product for years and I believe that I have finally found it - make sure to watch the instructional videos that are on-line as well.

My hair is curly and colored and I didn't notice any change in color or extra damage, but over all not impressed.

My mother has straight hair with a little bit of wavy and it definately gave her more wave. If your nervous I'd get a sample first. I don't know if it gives waves or curlsto hair that never had any.

I have naturally curly hair - I have used this product off and on for over 5 years. if your hair is naturally straight - go with the straight hair products - I believe in letting your hair do what it wants - if it looks natural - you look natural -

Ouidad's products will help straight to curly when you use a curling iron or have a perm.

I think it would depend on the haircut first.

No.

As far I can see, there are none in the products. Their focus is protein which stops that hair from expanding.

I do not believe so - you can go to ouidad.com and ask consultants directly - that is what I do

I looked at the ingredient list for the heat and humidity gel, didn't see any silicone based products listed. Toward the end of the list there was some glycerin. It definitely doesn't feel like the silicone based products I've used before. Feels more hydrating than those.

Not sure if they sell this in Canada, but they do online! That is where I got mine. I hope you have no problems getting it.

Yes, it is sold at the Sherway Gardens Mall Sephora

Not yet - but I've been told at the store at the Eaton Centre that they are phasing out one of the current products and that Ouidad should be available within a year or so. Keep your fingers crossed!

Yes, it is sulfate free using amino acids & protein.

ouidad shampoo DOES HAVE SULFATE - although they say very little -

According to my chemistry professor, shampoos that claim to be sulfate free are nonsense. He says it's so they can charge you more for the product. I wouldn't grade this by what it contains, rather by what it does. If you do have a problem with sulfates, I recommend using natural remedies on your hair. I've tried a few, and they're as good as what you pay 20 bucks for. The best remedy I've found so far is .. mix vinegar with baking soda and water. Be careful when mixing because the baking soda and vinegar react together. When combined, they neutralize the acidic level and make it neutral. This is good. I would swear by it. Be careful though if you dye your hair, I hear it might strip the color, so don't use it often. It's good for dandruff too. So this is basically the best way to avoid the sulfates.

absolutely - probably better than it does for my thinner loser curls - be sure to use the moisturizing treatment

I am black and have natural hair. I used the Curl Quencher Shampoo and Conditioners; however. I noticed more defined curls after the first day of use, but I wonder how much more improvement I will see (so far it has been 4 days of use). Not sure if this product will give better results than Aveda's Be Curly, though. : /

yes, i color my hair and have used it almost daily for a year.

I purchased mine in store, Woodfield mall Schaumburg, IL
