Founded in 2016 by stylist to the stars Jen Atkins, OUAI (that's pronounced 'way') translates to 'yes'. Encouraging you to say yes to letting go of unrealistic expectations and embracing imperfections, the brand offers an alternative to the one-size-fits-all approach to hair care. Discover the Medium Hair Shampoo (300ml), a nourishing formula that will transform dreams of healthy, hydrated locks into reality...
Finding the middle ground between healthy and happy tresses, the Medium Hair Shampoo (300ml) cleanses , hydrates and summons shine.
Laying the foundation for stronger locks, this formula is infused with hydrolysed keratin (AKA the ideal pairing for heat-damaged hair) and kumquat fruit extract, which helps to return tired tresses to their former, glossy glory. Plus, a moisturising blend of babassu and coconut oils will bring hair bright up to date. Oh, and fans of the brand's Mercer Street fragrance will be pleased to hear that it makes an appearance here too: think zesty orange and Italian lemon happily married with floral notes of peony, magnolia, and jasmine. A complete refresh for your strands and senses... we're obsessed.

Read if you’ve got coloured hair
I have dark brown hair with balayage and this strips the colour. On day two after a wash my hair was already uncomfortably greasy and I can usually go a few days. The smell however is divine. Would not repurchase.

Disappointed
I had high hopes for this shampoo (and conditioner) and I only ordered it because my usual Davines had been out of stock for weeks (which I love). Anyway, I used this for the first time one evening and let my hair air dry and my hair never looks at its best when I do this but it’s manageable, but on this occasion with this shampoo it was tangly, tuggy and I struggled to get my brush through it the following morning and it was difficult to straighten. It’s better after blow drying but my hair still feels quite dry after using. I’ll use it because it was expensive but won’t purchase again.

I can't believe it took me so long
I've been using Davines for years. My hair likes it, smells great, but I got bored. Tried a few other best selling brands and... nah. I was about to go back to my trusted Davines when I've decided to buy this. First of all: smells amazing. So nostalgic, so clean. Immediately after towelling drying my hair, I've noticed the difference, particularly the frizz. I have long, thick Brazilian hair and this shampoo is just perfect for it. I use with the thick hair conditioner and am so impressed. Love it.

Awful smell
It appears that the scent of this shampoo is like marmite - people either love it or hate it. Unfortunately I’m firmly in the hate it category and honestly, the only person I could think of that would enjoy the awful, overpowering scent of this shampoo is my grandmother. I’ve given the shampoo 2 stars as it did leave my hair clean, but Gosh, I wish it didn’t cost so much so I could just bin it - it smells horrible. It has a really strong granny-type soapy-powdery scent that really clings onto your hair and lingers through to the next day even with hair oil from another brand applied over the top of it. It’s over-powering and even my fiancé said he wasn’t sure he’d be able to get on with my hair smelling of it for however long it takes for the bottle to run out. I think there are better hair products that smell much nicer out there, so would definitely avoid this one. The packaging also looks cheap.

Nope
Went for Ouai after not being able to get hold of my usual brand (Alterna) and the reviews seemed a no-brainer. Not for me. Leaves my medium, long (knot-free) brunette hair a matted weave of a nest. Feels like there’s constantly residue left on it and it’s knotty within about 1.8 seconds of styling. Have given benefit of the doubt over 8-10 washes now (bought both the shampoo & conditioner) but still the same end result. Bitterly disappointing considering the price tag. One plus = smells nice.

Great
As a hairstylist, I can definitely say this is a great product. Cleans the hair and scalp but doesn't strip the hair. I have never tried a more fragranced shampoo and I've tried probably over 200 shampoos. Heavily but heavenly fragranced. Smells like flowers smacked in your face. Most compliments I've gotten on scent, whilst not wearing perfume.

Worth trying
I have quite long, slightly wavy hair which I was finding was greasy at the top and dry at the bottom. I bought this as a step into trying out more expensive brands and I am not disappointed! This washes my hair beautifully, and I am finding my hair is staying cleaner for longer and even less fuzzy if I let it dry naturally (with some leave in conditioner in of course). I am going to try the conditioner next to see if this makes my hair even better!

Best hair I've ever had
I'm obsessed. It smells amazing and my hair has never been shinier or healthier. Finally able to air-dry without worries. I use the Medium Conditioner and Detox Shampoo along with it, it's a winner combo!
