Product Review: Fekkai Glossing Line

Image Source

The people over at Fekkai are geniuses, because I believe that "everyone and their mama" snagged the free sample of the glossing line (minus the shine spray). What better way to get people to try your product? Now, I cannot do a full review because I did not use this product long enough (a month or two) for a proper review. So, I am bringing you a "first reaction".

My Opinion: 
I used the shampoo and conditioner as directed, then loaded my hair with Herbal Essence Hello Hydration to detangle. Then I rinsed and allowed my hair to airdry overnight. In the morning I applied the cream to my still damp hair and pulled my hair back into my puff bun.


I noticed that the shampoo had a clean and soapy scent. It was also a very thick consistency which worried me because I have issues getting shampoo out of my hair if it's thick. The shampoo did its job and I got most of it out except for a little in the front but that was rinsed away after I finished with the conditioner.


Now for the conditioner--I may be a wierdo--but I felt that it smelled like hotel lotion. lol. It went on smoothly and didn't leave my hair dry but certainly wasn't thick enough to detangle with. It also "pulled" out the rest of the shampoo left over.

That cream...oh that cream. I absolutely love it! There is a reason it has received an allure beauty award. It is non-greasy and you do not need a lot of it. It also doesn't have a strong or overpowering scent. I used it on damp hair and will continue to use it throughout the week as my moisturizer.


Bottom line, I was not blown away by these products with the exception of the cream. They did the job and that was about it. I think this line would be great if I were all natural and wearing my hair down because my hair's texture is more "noticeable" and fluffy. They are a bit too rich for my blood though. If you don't mind the cost, Fekkai won't hurt you.
