Did you ever get a free sample of a product that you thought about throwing away, but you tried it, and ended up loving it?  Well, that’s my story with  Frederic Fekkai’s Glossing Cream.  It’s a bit on the expensive side, but it is now my favorite hair finishing product, ever, I think.  It’s got a pretty natural base, advertising heavily that it contains olive oil.  And the consistency is that which feels a little like it does have a natural oil, but when you put it in your hair, it’s not greasy or oily, nor does it weigh my hair down like some other glossers and high shine hair finishers I’ve tried. 

What is it?  It is a creamy, but slightly more watery shining cream than I’ve used in the past, with an opalescent yellow coloring to it.  It’s costs about $26 for a 7 ounce bottle, and I believe there is also a smaller size available for about $19 as well (see Amazon above for pricing if you’d like, plus more reviews).  I did purchase the product from Amazon, and that is where I read more reviews on this great hair product that confirmed my thoughts that it wasn’t just me, this was an exceptional hair care product that I had to have.

I do tend to get frizz in the summer and if my hair is exposed to any type of moisture, so this product is ideal for me to carry around in my purse in a smaller bottle for any flyaways or frizziness, and since just a little goes a long way, I don’t have to worry about weighing my hair down or it looking like I dumped grease on it to get it calmer. 

Ingredients in Frederic Fekkai Glossing Cream : While all the ingredients are too numerous to list, I thought I’d highlight the more important ones that you and I can actually pronounce.

Oilive Oil – otherwise known as Olea Europea Fruit Oil

Castor Seed Oil

Good old fashioned water (aqua)

Panthenol

As you can see, it’s got some good stuff in it, but this is just the right combination.  I got my free sample of this at a Bath and Body Works store with a purchase, and just the little sample packet lasted me almost two weeks, although admittedly I used it sparingly.  In short, this is good stuff, and it will be in my hair product cabinet for a while!  I think the seven ounce bottle I purchased will last a while too, so I feel ok with paying the price tag.  Anything that works on MY HAIR is worth the extra bucks!  It can be unruly when it wants! 

Oh, one more note, I think this is also perfect whether you wear your hair curly, wavy or straight – I’ve used it with all three, and have a great turnout every time.
