Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased the Frederic Fekkai Moisturizing Shampoo w/Shea Butter and the Fekkai Conditioner with Shea Butter recently and just used them both for the first time. I shampooed first with the Fekkai product with shea butter; and then followed with the corresponding Fekkai shea butter conditioner.
The result was unbelievable (tangle free hair, shiny and easy to style and blow dry). This time I only used the shampoo and the conditioner and did not use any styling mousse and still it came out great (in a lot less time) than it normally takes me.
My hair is fine, long with blond highlights and in the humidity it can tend to frizz or grow curly if I am not careful. It can be weighted down by heavy products and begin to look greasy if the product line is too loaded with the wrong type of conditioners. I was worried that this product line might be too heavy for my fine hair though it is ultra dry on the ends, color treated and can be unruly if there is high humidity. But I thought I would give it a try because I love products with shea butter and I thought my hair could use the moisture. One thing that is interesting, that the Frederic Fekkai people told me, is that one cause of frizz in color treated hair is the lack of moisture in the hair follicles themselves which can be caused by simply color treating your hair or if you perm it, blow dry it often or even use hair straightening irons. If you condition properly your hair follicles will not have as many problems with the humidity. It is really the dryness of the hair itself that can make for a bad hair day when you step out into the humidity. The tube states that the product is for ultra-dry, thick or unruly hair. I felt that my hair fit two of those categories; but not the third; therefore the initial reason for my skepticism.
Shea butter comes from a tree: the Karite tree. The Karite tree produces nuts. From these nuts, fatty acids are extracted. The reason why my hair does not feel weighted down is that the moisture comes from these fatty acids while other conditioning products use vegetable based butters. Fekkai feels that these fatty acids are superior to the vegetable based ones. This shampoo and the corresponding conditioner belong to Fekkai's ultra moisturizing family of products and also includes sweet almond protein so it smells terrific.
I found that these products left my hair with no tangles whatsoever, it felt silky and smooth even while wet. When dry, my hair was smooth, shiny and frizz free.
Make sure you follow the directions on the tubes for optimal results. I used the moisturizing shampoo with shea butter first, followed by the conditioner. I was able to comb the conditioner through my hair with my fingers. The results were so dramatic that I had no tangles. The directions suggest combing the conditioner through your hair. Then,I rinsed it thoroughly with COOL water (as stated); and I was pleased with the results. My hair feels clean and sleek and my scalp does not feel oily at all (my scalp being one of my main concerns). I tend to get an oily scalp with dry ends.
I will try other products by Fekkai after this experience; but the combo of the shampoo and the corresponding conditioner had awesome results for me.
