Customized Curls

Ouidad.com's Curl Profiler diagnostic tool makes it simple and efficient to explore one's specific curl type.  A series of eight questions identifies the appropriate curl type of the user with a personal curl assessment, recommended products and tips.  "Must Have" products are recommended for basic care, styling and finishing, and special treatment so that the variety of curly, wavy, and textured hair types can easily find exactly what is right for them.
