Summer Must Have Beauty: Frederic Fekkai Technician Glaze

Designed specifically for color-treated hair, this incredible serum boasts instant results (something many products can’t claim). Squeeze a tiny amount of Frederic Fekkai Technician Glaze into your palms, and distribute evenly through dry hair.

Immediately after application, you’ll notice instant shine and softness. But, what you can’t see still helps you! This glaze also protects hair from the harsh UV Rays that can hasten color fade (you don’t want those gorgeous new caramel highlights looking brassy, do you?)

Perhaps the most incredible thing about this product is the price. Frederic Fekkai Technician Glaze retails for only $20. The competition generally retails for a similar price, but you’ll usually only get 1-2 oz. of product! Since only a really small amount is needed (even for very long hair), you can expect this huge 4.2 oz. bottle to easily last a year even with daily use.

Frederic Fekkai Salon Glaze Clear Shine Rinse

When someone used to seeing their hair colored allows the color to fade and grow out, it begins to look downright drab. That’s the exact situation I am in. In mid-October 2007, I returned to my roots (so to speak) and dyed my hair back to its natural color. Why? I intended to start trying for baby #2, and while many experts claim it to be safe, I refuse to color or highlight my hair while pregnant.

Trust me… this is not an optimal situation. My hair is currently in dire need of professional attention. But until that magical "safe" moment arrives, I was thrilled to learn of Frederic Fekkai’s new product- Salon Glaze. Salon Glaze is an at-home shine treatment that can be applied right in the shower to add shine and silkiness to the tresses. This non-chemical treatment takes only a few minutes to work, also making it ideal for anyone with limited time.

Hair isn’t weighed down by this product at all, and it can be used by anyone!

Retails for $28 at Sephora.com and Beauty.com. Read more about this product at the Frederic Fekkai website!

AG Hair Cosmetics

AG Hair Cosmetics, Conditioner, Straightener, Heat Protection Did you know the longest undefended border in the world is that between the USA and Canada? Americans and Canadians seem to have a certain synergy, enabling us to peacefully coexist. Perhaps it is that, similar to a couple of sorority girls, we share our best product secrets willingly with each other. We Yanks gave them Estee Lauder, Canada returns the favor with MAC. The USA shares Paul Mitchell, and Canada gives us AG Hair Cosmetics.

I’m a heat-styling junkie. I flat iron my hair with such frequency, most who know me don’t realize it is naturally curly. To moisturize, straighten and protect my hair; I recently started a three step hair care regimen using AG Hair Cosmetics products, and have been impressed with the results.

Frederic Fekkai All-Day Hair Plump

Frederic Fekkai All-Day Hair Plump, Beauty Blog, 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.
