A Biochemist Reviews The Ouai Hair Care Products

Hey guys welcome back to my channel, so today's video is going to be all about the product line called whey or we i don't know if it's supposed to be like french, yes, anyways, it's like o-u-a-i anyway, so this hair care line has become really popular in The past - i don't know a couple of years and i thought i would treat myself to some really nice shampoo, conditioner after giving birth, and so i've been using this product line for probably two months now, and i just have to share it with you guys, because I'Ve honestly never found products that make my hair feel so so nourished and really do what they say that they're going to do so. They do have different shampoo, conditioner sets and treatment types for different hair types. I have very fine hair, but i have a lot of it, but it's really easy for my hair to feel very flat, very thin and also like really frizzy. My hair is naturally straight, but it can get quite frizzy up at the top just with humidity or even with dryness anyways. So i love trying out different shampoo, conditioner combos um and i have absolutely fallen in love with this line. So i do just want to share with you the different products that i've been using. What i have found is kind of different about them than other shampoo conditioners and go into a little bit of the science of why i think it's great, but overall yeah these formulations are very sound. It is a whole sulfate, free collection, um so, and the other thing that i really love about it is the packaging and how they do their refills and everything which is very environmentally conscious, so yeah we're just going to dive right on into it. Okay, so the first product i'm talking about is their fine hair, shampoo um. So when you buy this, it is, i think, it's 28. I don't know if that's canadian or u.s i'm on their website right now. I just got mine from sephora, though, because then everything's in canadian and shipping is really fast. So this is 28 and then you can get a refill, for i think i don't know 56 or something and it is double the amount. So this is 300 ml, but i'm telling you guys this lasts such a long time, so i've been using this for two months and it's only half empty, which means that in a year i might go through like three bottles of this, and i do like kind Of splurging on shampoo conditioner products, because i find that it actually does make a really big difference. So this shampoo, basically really gentle surfactants in there they're, mostly coconut oil derived. It does also contain biotin and keratin, like hydrolyzed keratin, which is a protein. So those are also really good for the hair. It also says it contains chia seed oil. I'Ve never seen a lot of evidence behind using chia seed oil, but maybe it does something. Maybe it doesn't, but overall, this formula is very, very good. Um, a little bit goes a long way. It has ingredients that do lather up really well, so you can really work it around the scalp easily, and it also does contain some anti-static ingredients in here in the shampoo itself, so it just rinses off and when you rinse it out of your hair, your hair Doesn'T feel kind of like totally stripped, it does feel quite hydrated still, which i really really like. So i absolutely love this. It does have a fragrance to it, which is orange, peony, magnolia, jasmine, musk and aorus. Worse, yes, but basically just honestly all-time favorite shampoo product right there and then the conditioner very, very similar, because they are both the fine hair, the fine hair products um. It does contain some vegetable waxes, some conditioning agents such as the hentramonium chloride and the citromonium chloride. So those are really going to give you a nice slip and kind of detangle anti-static ingredients in there. This also does contain the keratin, the biotin and the chia seed oil. So these two pair together beautifully the formula is simple, gentle, but quite effective. Again, i already said it's sulfate free, but i absolutely love these like if you want to treat yourself to nice, hair care products, honestly, you guys this is totally worth the money and then so you buy these bottles, it's kind of your initial investment and then you Can buy the refill pack, which is basically like it'll, fill up your bottle twice, and it is just a very eco-friendly way to do so, but this packaging itself is very eco-friendly because it is made from post-consumer recycled materials. It is the same type of plastic. On top and on the bottom, and all the components inside are made from the same type of plastic, so it is completely recyclable. All you have to do is rinse it out, throw it in the recycling and again most of the surfactants and then also like the waxes in both of these products are coconut oil derived or vegetable derived. So it is a very natural product. If that's, what you're going for um but ultimately they're, just very gentle but quite effective, the other two products that i've picked up from this brand is their finishing cream. So, basically, if i'm going to style my hair, i generally don't blow dry my hair i'll blow dry, my bangs, which are getting way too long. I just ordered some hair styling or higher hair stylist scissors, so i can cut them because we're currently not able to go to the salon. If i'm going to style my hair, i generally don't blow dry it. It just takes too much time. I don't have that much time and then once it's dry i will style it, and then i always finish off with this cream and what it helps for me is like what i was talking about before with just kind of frizz like i always get a bit Of frizz here just from breakage and just from my hair being dry or humid, or i don't really know what, but i do get really frizzy hair, and this just keeps it really soft and smooth and shiny. I don't know if you can see like the shine on my hair. It is really nice um. This product also does have a scent and it does contain a lot of ingredients like it. I know it does have like shea butter. It says that they use a smart keratin, i'm not sure what makes a keratin smart, but it does contain keratin and artichoke leaf extract. I don't know if that does anything, but it does have like jojoba oil. Shea butter rice bran oil, so it is just packed with a lot of goodness. This product does contain some silicones. I don't think that the conditioner does, but ultimately is. It is just a nice product to use after you've heat styled it. I think you can also use it before you heat style it as well, and then it does have a scent which is violet, gardenia, ylang, ylang and white musk. All of the fragrances that they do in their products are beautiful. They smell so good and they're, pretty. Like long lasting um - and i just honestly love this as well but yeah - i think you can use it before you blow dryer or heat style, your hair, but i mainly use it after just to like reduce any frizz and keep it like really silky help with Dry ends and just kind of smooth everything down after i have straightened or kind of curled, my hair, okay and then last but not least, is the volumizing hairspray. So this is it's not like a hairspray that makes your hair very hard um, but it does definitely give you volume. It gives you really nice volume if you want to spray it in here for curls or just kind of do that i spray it under my bangs, sometimes well, when they're not so long, it works a little bit better, just to give them a bit more pump Up, but basically this contains they say, volcanic minerals. It is zeolite, not sure if that really is the magic ingredient in here. But the way the formula has been put together is just incredible: it really does what it says. It'S going to do really excellent volumizing, hairspray um and again it does have a scent, and the scent is bergamo italian. Lemon rose de may, magnolia lily blackberry, violet cedarwood amber patchouli, sandalwood and white musk um. So the scent is a little bit more subtle in this one, or i just use less of this - i'm not really sure but yeah. Basically, the combination of the polymers in here and then that mineral really provides you long-lasting volume in your hair, which is amazing and a little bit goes a long way like i think i'll. I wouldn't go through this in a very long time, and this is also recyclable. So all the packaging is recyclable. The formulas are very scientifically sound, very well put together and thought out um. It is sulfate free, it's yeah, very gentle, like i said before, but the products actually do see what they they products actually do, what they say, they're gon na do so i've been very impressed with this product line. I'M definitely gon na be a repurchaser of this. It makes me not want to try other hair care lines for the first time, which is really cool, and i just wanted to share that with you guys, because i've been trying it out for a couple months and i'm just overall really impressed with how the formulas Are put together the packaging, the refill concept with their shampoo conditioner and if you do have a different hair type and you have tried this out. I definitely would love to hear about your experience if you have curly, hair or thick hair, and you have tried the products like the shampoo conditioner, that i grew towards those hair types. Definitely let me know if they have worked for you. Like i said in the beginning, i have very fine hair, but i have a lot of it. It'S easy for it to look kind of flat and thin, but with the ray shampoo conditioner, it feels very thick and luxurious and healthy and nice, which is just an overall nice feeling and has really nice shine and yeah just feels like very healthy hair. All right, you guys, i think that is everything that i want to say, but oh and this video is absolutely not sponsored. I am just totally in love with these products um. I do love the science behind them. I think that they've been formulated really really well and i'm very impressed with what i have discovered about whey or we. I don't know how you say it but, and i have seen that they've come out with some skincare products. Like some hand, creams hand, washes body washes that kind of thing. So it makes me very intrigued to actually go try that out, because, just because of how well the products that i have tried were put together and how well they performed all right. That is it for me today. Thank you guys so much for watching, and i will see you in my next video
