Who is Ouidad?

   even though i went to jewish schools i was one of the few people who had curly frizzy hair. straight hair ruled. straight hair was always more glamorous.  i always wanted to have smooth , shiny, straight hair like the women in the shampoo commercials on tv. alas that was not meant to be.
i know a lot of closeted curly haired girls. they will never let anyone see them with curly hair and they go weekly to have someone blow their hair straight. they fear rain as much as the wicked witch from the wizard of oz. i have my hair blown straight once in awhile but it is too much work to maintain straight hair when you have hair as curly as mine is. i resolved long ago to embrace my curls. this my friends is what i really like about the message of  ouidad. though she is a business, she strives to empower those of us with curly hair to have pride in our hair.
