5 Things to Know About OUAI Anti-Frizz Hair Sheets (Starting With How to Pronounce “OUAI”)

January 31st, 2018 by Karen 9 Comments

ouai anti frizz sheets
Perfect for wallets and pockets

Did you ever think you’d get this close to my roots…?

Or my forehead?

I kid, I kid! 🙂 No, you really don’t need to be all up in my cowlick, and you REALLY don’t need to be all up in it now that my roots are starting to peek through, OMG. When the heck is my next hair appointment!?

Anyway, there’s an unruly grotto of hair at my hairline with strands that jut and shoot out at weird angles, and I usually have to coax them into place with a dab of flexible hair paste and hairspray.

That usually does the trick, but when it doesn’t… Say hello to these OUAI Anti-Frizz Hair Sheets.

(Hello!)

1. It’s pronounced “way.”

2. These smell like Pottery Barn.

SERIOUSLY. You know that smell that immediately invades your space when you walk into a Pottery Barn store? Well, these sheets smell exactly like that — like expensive white pillar candles with notes of magnolia, wax and overstuffed, over-sized down chairs.

Mind you, I like it. It’s just very strong, and it lingers a while.

3. Tear, tame, then toss.

These individually packaged sheets, which come 15 to a box for $18, are soaked with hair-smoothing oil. You just tear one open to get to the sheet, which feels like an oil-coated piece of wax paper, then smooth the sheet on your hair wherever you need to de-frizz.

For some reason, these remind me of those wet wipes you get at Kentucky Fried Chicken…

Ingredients:

Isopropyl Isostearate, Polysorbate 20, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Oil, Fragrance (Parfum), Steardimonium Hydroxypropyl Panthenyl PEG-7 Dimethicone Phosphate Chloride, Benzyl Salicylate, Hexyl Cinnamal

4. They’re better for touch-ups than they are for primary frizz control.

As you can probably see from my cowlick pics, one sheet corrals most of the renegade hairs, but a few stragglers get away. It doesn’t catch every fly-away, and a few fly-aways are fine with me, but I still wouldn’t 100% rely on these sheets for intense de-frizzing.

I think these are great as convenient once-in-a-while things, but they’re $1.20 each. That seems kind of expensive for a single use, doesn’t it? Like, sure, I’ll put one in my makeup bag for when I have an important meeting at HomeGoods, and I want a last-minute tszuj to look my best, but if all I’m doing is heading to baby story time, I don’t think I’d use one of these.

5. If you’re using a temporary root spray, watch out!

FYI, if you use any sort of root cover-up spray or pencil, you’ll want to use a sheet before — not after — you spray your roots, because the sheet will lift away any temporary color (which is, *ahem*, why you can see so many more white hairs in the above “after” pic).

Still some minor cowlick action…

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    ☺

    I bought the Dyson Dryer from Sephora at the VIB and it came packed with the Ouai products, I asked the sales lady how to pronounce it, and she told me.
    Not sure why I would launch a product line that a customer would have no idea how to pronounce but anyway…..
    the hair oil is amazing it smells like roses, and the mousse as well, shampoo is just OK.
    as for the dryer, it’s worth every.single.dollar ♥
    looked at the sheets so thanks for the review

    I knew how to pronounce it because it’s about the same as a quite casual “yes” in French.

    I have no idea what Pottery Barn smells like, now I’m curious.

    Every time I see this brand, I wonder if the founders were from Quebec. We jokingly say that often (instead of something like “you betcha!” in English). I think people who don’t know any French would be a bit confused, though. 🙂 Happy, I don’t have frizz issues because I’m sure the oil in these would turn my roots into grease ball city. They do a pretty good job with yours but, as you say, they’re a bit pricey for what they deliver.

    Thanks for the pronunciation! I would not have guessed that. Sometimes I’ll just use a little water to smooth flyaways. I can see myself keeping these in my purse to use during the day at work or for travel.

    Water always seems to make my frizz worse, so these are intriguing. Pricey, yes, but that doesn’t stop me from my never-ending Battle of the Frizz!

    That’s my number one bugaboo when it comes to hair products, is how much they smell. I can’t stand that. I want to smell just my perfume and nothing else. The gal who cuts my hair just rolls her eyes at me because I always tell her to blow dry my hair without any product in it because the stuff at the salon is super scented.

    Does it work better than just a bit of oil distributed with your hands? Or is it just more convenient?

      Yes, these are primarily for convenience!

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
