Frédéric Fekkai Glossing Cream
From the Sephora website: "A leave in conditioner to give shine and manageability to hair. Imparts lasting shine and protects hair with UVA and UVB sunscreens. Absorbs quickly and without greasiness. Protects your locks from blow dryer heat."
Jen's Experience: So, the bottle says, "Style and shine with pure olive oil" and "Rub a small amount between palms. Distribute through hair before or after blow-drying to add managability and shine." I had no idea until just now that it was a leave in conditioner, or that it would protect my hair from the sun and heat from my blow dryer. Learn something new every day.
Well, even though I didn't know everything about this product when I bought it, I have really enjoyed using it, alone or in combination with my other hair care products. I use a pea-size amount every day before I blow dry, and I've noticed that it makes my hair much more glossy (must be the olive oil), less frizzy, and my style hold much longer. I've also noticed that it lessens the negative effects of some of my harsher hair products as well. Amazingly, my fine hair does not get weighed down at all, but only if I use it when my hair is still wet. Although it says you can apply it to your hair after you blow dry, I have found that it does not have the same positive effect on my hair. Instead, I look pretty greasy.
I love for my hair to smell good, and this has a clean and pleasant fragrance that is not overbearing and doesn't linger. Overall, I am very happy with this product, and I think it's a great way to keep your hair looking healthy every day.
Retail Price: $18.50/4 oz (Sephora)
