Yes, I know Frederic Fekkai products have been around for a while, but I never looked at them twice, because I assumed I couldn’t afford anything made by someone named Frederic Fekkai.
But as fate would have it, I got caught in a downpour the other day.
By midday my hair had dried into an exact replica of my sister’s Standard Poodle.
Next thing I knew, I was at Sephora standing in front of the hair care section. I squeezed some Frederic Fekkai Glossing Cream into my palms and ran them over my hair. I didn’t care that the price tag said $27 and that I hadn’t worked in 6 months, it took my frizzy hair from Richard Simmons to well-coiffed newscaster, within seconds, and I decided I couldn’t live without it.
The next day I applied it to damp hair and styled as usual. (It also protects from heat styling, and contains UVA and UVB sunscreens.) Since I have thick, dry hair I also applied it after I dried it. Once again it worked its magic. My hair was super soft, silky and shiny. The oddest thing about this product is it doesn’t feel like there’s any product in my hair. It leaves absolutely no residue, greasiness or synthetic feel. It just makes my hair feel super soft and healthy.
After using it, my hair had so much bounce, that you’d have thought I was on an invisible pogo stick. That’s also my only complaint. As someone with very full hair, I needed to add some oil to weigh down my hairdo or else I’d look like I was in a gravity-free space station somewhere.
Just so you know that I’m not exaggerating about how good this stuff is, on Sephora’s website, it got an average of 4.6 out of 5 stars based on 700 reviews.
So next time you’re in Sephora, ask them for a sample.
If you’re like me, Frederic Fekkai Glossing Cream could be the only thing, this spring, that’ll keep your hair from blossoming into a hydrangea bush.

What's your favorite leave-in conditioner?
aveda brilliant spray as a detangler, then aveda smooth infusion pre-styling prep....SO GOOD!!! my hair isn't curly though, it's pretty straight but gets frizzy - don't know if it would work on more extreme cases.

I have very thick rather straight hair but have found the effects of John Frieda Frizz-Ease heat damage protection to be astounding. It makes me feel like I have model worthy hair. My sister agrees. We cannot go a day without it anymore.

thanks MB. I'll check if they do the free sample thing so I can check it out.
Thanks! Jenny

Jenny, how much did you use? I bought this and found that it just makes my hair feel kinda greasy. :(. Any tips? Thanks!

Hey Kerry,
I used a pea-sized dab. Did u use it on damp hair because I think on dry hair it might make it greasy. I have thick, dry hair so maybe it's just good for that?

Is that your poodle-in-law in the picture? Poodles are the BEST.

This is the one and only hair product I use/will ever use.

Wow, This humble abode. That's a rave review if I've ever heard one. Glad to know I'm not the only one who likes it.
Thanks,

Hey Jenny!
My hair is super thick, long, curly and frizzy. I have not tried this Fekkai product, but I LOVE Biolage Ultra Hydrating shampoo and conditioning creme. It makes your hair sooo smooth, silky, takes away all the frizz, detangles, and provides the "weight" you and I need. I apply a small amount of the conditioning creme after I towel dry my hair for extra smoothness. You should definitely try it as a cheaper alternative to the Fekkai! It works MIRACLES!

Thanks K! I've never tired Biolage before. But I definitely will based on your reco. Sounds like it'll be perfect for my hair.
Thanks!!!!
