Hair Care

Frederic Fekkai is determined to make you fat.

No, no… Not in the way a frenemy would, tempting you with cookies in the hopes that you’ll gain 5 pounds while they stand looking slender at your side.  Mr. Fekkai wants to fatten each and every strand of your hair, and a new product in his arsenal helps achieve stronger, healthier and fatter hair quite expertly.

Frederic Fekkai recently launched All-Day Hair Plump, a leave-in treatment designed to moisturize hair and smooth damaged cuticles.  If you’re looking for a quick boost, this isn’t your product.  (Actually, if you must have volume immediately, I highly recommend Frederic Fekkai Coiff Bouffant Lifting and Texturizing Spray Gel).  But what All-Day Hair Plump will ultimately deliver is well worth the wait.  This time-released formula delivers moisture to the hair all day.  After a few weeks of continual use, I had to admit that my hair– well, it just plain looked better!  It was smoother and fuller.  It looked fantastic and healthy.

I went for a trim the other day, and my stylist was amazed when I told her I hadn’t had a haircut in 5 months!  (Those of you who read Raging Rouge on a regular basis probably remember my "Raging Hair Distress" entry.  Well, I was so scarred by the experience that I hadn’t had a cut since then!)  The point to my tangent is this:  All-Day Plump by Fekkai helped bring my hair back from the dead, and even an expert was amazed by the results.

Frederic Fekkai recommends using this product in conjunction with Overnight Hair Repair to maximize results, but it most certainly works as a stand-alone.  All-Day Hair Plump retails for $95, and can be found at Neiman Marcus and Sephora.com. Read more about it on the Frederic Fekkai website.

Originally published on 6/13/07, this Raging Rouge review about Frederic Fekkai’s Protein Rx Shampoo and Conditioner is exactly what the doctor ordered for dry summer hair.

Glorious sunny days have their side-effects. After spending many a warm afternoon outside playing with my son, my highlighted and flat-ironed hair was starting to feel like straw.  Had I finally damaged my hair permanently?  Only one use of Frederic Fekkai Protein Rx Shampoo and Conditioner restored my hair to its normal silky feeling.  Don’t you love instant gratification in a beauty product?

This product is fortified with soy and milk proteins to strengthen the hair shaft.  Over time, it will prevent damage before it happens!

I’ve loved Greek Mythology since my youth, intrigued by the concept of many Gods–each with a very specific sphere of influence.  If the Gods of Ancient Greece were still worshiped today, one could imagine we probably would have added a few more over the years.  Who in today’s world wouldn’t worship fervently and fearfully at the altar of the God of Oil Prices (I picture him to be rather sinister, and a close personal friend of Hades, the God of the Underworld himself).  Certainly, with our society’s focus on beauty, we would see a need to assign a God of Hair to a seat on Mt. Olympus.  The God of Hair would most definitely be named Frederic, after the renowned Frederic Fekkai.

I was so excited when I recently read that Mr. Fekkai has expanded his salon locations to include suburbia (the newest location opened in May, to much fanfare).  Sadly for me- his suburban location is Greenwich, CT.  So, I’ll have to wait a while longer to have Fekkai-trained hands sculpt my hair.  I’m certain, when I finally get my chance, it will be a religious experience.  Until then, I have been satiated with using products from Mr. Fekkai’s fabulous hair care line. 

I have yet to try a Fekkai product that hasn’t rocked my world, so I’m dedicating this week of posts to Mr. Frederic Fekkai, modern-day hair God.

This volumizing shampoo is successful because of its incredibly clarifying formula.  After using this shampoo only once, my hair felt completely cleansed of all buildup, and was left lighter and more voluminous.  Laurent D’s Prive shampoo truly delivers.

Prive Amplifying Shampoo retails for $18 (250 mL) or $25.50 (500mL) at salons.

Prive Mousse dispenses fluffy and airy, and delivers such incredible texture to the hair.  If you read RR often, you know I’m not a fan of stiff styling products.  I’d much rather opt for less product than perfect hair.  Plastic-feeling hair is not for me.

This mousse by Prive is exactly the kind of light hold I’m always in the market for.  Prive Foaming Styler gave me incredible lift at the roots, and helped tame my flyaways.  My hair looks smooth and sleek.

Prive Foaming Styler retails for $18 at salons.
