Redken Hair Cleansing Cream

I use Fekkai's Glossing Cream to smooth what can be super frizzy hair everyday. Since Glossing Cream is olive oil based it can build up a bit over the course of a week or two and that's where Redken's Hair Cleansing Cream comes in.

Hair Cleansing Cream is a clarifying shampoo that uses fruit acids to boost shine and remove build up. It is gentler that the average clarifying shampoo. Most of these shampoos leave your hair feeling like hay and looking like it too but this one does a good job of getting rid of build up without destroying your hair.

The cream can be left in for a few minutes for heavier build up but I find that a weekly lather and rinse works well. I follow this up with a rich conditioner or hair masque and my hair emerges soft and buildup free!

You can find this at any beauty supply or my choice is Ulta.

Fekkai Glossing Cream

Here is my favorite and only styling product. Glossing Cream is so perfect no other products need apply.

I have hair that is thick and wavy verging on curly that I highlight. It can get frizzy and downright bushy if let to its own devices. That's wear this olive oil rich dream cream comes in.

I searched high and low and tried many products that worked well but had little issues. I was prepared to accept them until I was told about this cream.

Glossing Cream ($19-$26) is hydrating and also helps to weigh hair down a bit. For someone with my hair type it is ideal at keeping frizz under control.

The real key to frizz control is to apply this cream when you hair is wet, not damp and start at the ends and work up to the roots. My only caveat would be to not over apply because it can get a bit greasy....it is olive oil after all.

Fekkai also has a limited edition Summer Hair series in stores now. All the products smell like a yummy beachy cococut cocktail with Beach Waves and Zero-Humidity Frizz Control (both $22) being my favorites. The Beach Waves spray really helps to encourage waves and give that tousled appearance of a surfer girl fresh from the seashore.

While they do not take the place of my beloved Glossing Cream, they make a nice addition and make me feel summer ready!
