Frederic Fekkai Smooth Hair Hydrating Cream

A staple for years, regardless of the color or texture of my hair

Welcome to my first foray into the world of salon hair products. This is quite possibly the most expensive hair styling product I've ever used - but one of the best! It's easy on the nose with just a vague fresh scent.

I've been called Madonna for my history of hair changes - in two years, my hair has been all possible combinations of short and long; wavy and straight; and virgin, bleached platinum and coppery red. Regardless of my style, this cream never fails to make my fine hair shiny and frizz-free without sacrificing body or drooping waves. There's no mineral oil or petrolatum here, only grapeseed oil and a bit of silicone which is refreshing in our current sea of silicone-laden hair products. (Have you looked at a label lately?)

For a lower-cost product with similar results, try John Frieda Secret Weapon sold in drugstores. But be warned - it contains silicones.

Update: Apparently this has been reformulated and now contains silicones. Que lastima!
