The Fekkai Glossing Creme is awesome. I've been using it since January 1. My hair is pretty long, wavy, and fine, but I have a lot of it. It's naturally very frizzy.
I only use this on dry hair. I apply a pea-size amount of the glossing cream to my palm, rub my hands together, then smooth over hair. I do the ends first, then lightly smooth the rest. Frizzies just disappear and the condition of my feels wonderful. A little goes a long way. If I use more than a pea-size amount, my hair looks a little greasy. The travel-size lasted me from Jan. 1 to the end of April. |

I love it as well, and I have wavy fine, but lots of hair as well. Now I've always put it on when my hairs wet  , guess I have a new thing to try, on dry hair, who knew.. |

Completely agree  I think it is such a good range. The Hair Hydrating cream is even more moisturising and saved my hair on holiday. |

| I just bought a trial size of this and love it. I have thick, naturally wavy hair (coarse) hair, and it makes it very soft and tame. I use it on my damp hair, and on dry-- it needs all the help it can get! I was tempted by it at Victoria's Secret-- they had a bunch of trial size Fekkai products by the registers. They now carry his whole line-- trial and full-size, as well as trial kits. Neat!! |

| I like this stuff too, but much prefer my Jonathan leave in glossing conditioner. It's 100% vegan as well. |

| I bought this recently for my daughter, and she loves it. The FF products are very good quality, and not too overpriced. |

| I received a sample of this glossing cream and just love it. I have very thin fine hair which you would think doesn't need it but just a small amount of this run through my hair before drying makes it feel like silk and no flyaways. Now if only it added volume as well... |

I have a travel size of this that I bought at Sephora ages ago, and reading this thread made me pull it out and try using it again.
It had totally separated into greasy clear liquid and the yellow pearly stuff -- ick! I shook it really hard and it seemed to sort of semi-homogenize the stuff, but it wasn't really fully emulsified like before. I still used it though.
You're right that it's lovely for smoothing down frizzies -- I'm kicking myself for never having tried this. I always tried using a big dollop for all over my hair while it's still wet, and then scrunching and wearing it curly, but it never really did much for me. When I just use a dab to chill out frizzies like you suggest, it's much more useful. Thanks!  |

You might want to try the FF Luscious Curls Cream. Im currently using it on my wavy/curly hair, I like it a lot. One of the few hair products that actually does what it says!
"Luscious Curls Cream is a breakthrough styling product that enlivens and defines curls. Ideal for curly, wavy, or permed hair, Luscious Curls Cream is formulated with honey nectar and ginseng to help form and accentuate radiant ringlets without stiffness, and don't feel crunchy or look wet. Leaves hair free of frizz and full of bounce and shine." |

I can't believe that I'm finally starting to run low on this. I bought the so-called travel size more than a year ago and use it every time I shampoo and blow dry. But I only use a pea sized amount (rub my palms together and then run my hands through the damp hair). At that rate even the smallest tube lasts a long time. But finally I noticed the tube is getting down to empty, so I'll have to repurchase.
I do think it gives some shine and it definitely tames flyaways. I have very fine hair, so anything too greasy or heavy is out, but this product works fine for me. Given the rate I use it (and the experience of some that the emulsion can break) I don't think I'll but a larger size,though. |

| Yeah, after I discovered that my barely-over-a-year-old tube was all separated, I DEFINITELY recommend that you get another travel-size one so that the same thing doesn't happen to you! |

I have been tempted to try the Frederick Fekkai Glossing Crème. I may splurge and get the travel size for $9 and compare it to the Neutrogena Triple Moisture products I use which seem to have similar ingredients and are less costly.
Thought others might be interested in checking out the Neutrogena Triple Moisture line so I'm posting retail prices and ingredients. But, regarding prices, I just got 2 for the price of 1 on the Neutrogena line at CVS the other week!!!  The Neutrogena triple moisture name stands for:
| Quote: |
Three naturally derived extracts penetrate to help moisturize each layer of the hair strand:
Olive: penetrates to the center
Meadowfoam Seed: helps moisturize the middle
Sweet Almond: wraps the surface |
And I've never had any separation problem with these products (I've used the Neutrogena serum and anti-frizz cream).

| How do the three Neutrogena products compare? Are they similar in use? In effect? I can't figure out from the ingredients how they would be different. Which is closest to the Frederic Fekkai Glossing Creme? |

Hi flitcraft,
I can't speak to the specifics of differing ingredients but would look to the titles of the products as to what they do. I think the anti-frizz cream probably is closed to the FF creme but it's hard to say as I haven't tried the FF creme yet. BTW, I only listed the Neutrogena Triple Moisture leave-in conditioners but it is a whole line with shampoo, conditioner, deep moisturizing mask, etc.
I first tried the Neutrogena shine serum to replace the Citre Shine serum I was using and like it better. This I use whenever I want to increase my hair's shine and to defrizz.
Just recently I got the Neutrogena anti-frizz cream and really like using it after I shower (shampoo and condition) - I put it in my wet hair before drying and it helps so much keep my hair moisturized and tame.
Since the ingredients are similar, the differences in the Neutrogena line may just be predominantly in thickness and texture so I would try one and see if you like it. I tried the serum and then added the anti-frizz cream. And I got the deep moisturizing mask as well when CVS had the 2 for 1 sale. Just haven't used it yet. Since adding the anti-frizz cream to my shower regime, I haven't had to use the mask yet!
There are many reviews of the Neutrogena line atwww.drugstore.com:
