Curls Rule At Elie ElieElie Gerdak is a curl wizard. Not only was he the second salon to be certified in the Ouidad curly hair method of slicing and carving, he truly understands how to care for his clients with naturally curly tresses. (Image of Elie.Elie salon trends - courtesy of Elie Gerdak - all rights reserved). Contrary to popular belief, curls are extremely delicate. Their spiral structure forces the hair shaft to always remain open. As Elie explains it "natural curls are a lot like ruffled feathers that are defenseless against the penetration of multiple environmental assaults such as wind, dryness, air conditioning and pollution to penetrate the shaft. This results in a striping away of precious nutrients and moisture. Ultimately frizz and flyaway curls occur. Elie teaches his naturally curly haired clientele that curly hair requires extra nourishment and protection to seal in moisture and proteins. (Image of Elie.Elie salon trends - courtesy of Elie Gerdak - all rights reserved) He also lives by the principle that "not all curls are created equally" even though their basic spiral structure is the same. As Elie explains it "there are many textures and curl patterns that require different treatment and thus styling." Elie believes that the key to taking the mystery out of a naturally curly person's misbehaving mane is to learn the unique personality and pattern of individual curls. Once that is defined the appropriate products, tools and cutting techniques can be deployed for fantastic results. Elie and some of the stylists on his staff are certified in the Oudad method of cutting curly hair called Carving and Slicing. Combining this technique with the proper product treatments will result in gorgeous, healthy curls for men and women. Who Is Elie Noufal Gerdak?So who exactly is Elie Noufal Gerdak?
