fekkai.com/PrX

Price: $30.00, 6.7 oz.
Type: Hair Product

Category: Shampoo

Review Headline: Frizz Free Soft Silky Hair

Overall Rating: 10 Great

The Claim: 
Shampoo removes damaging impurities and build-up while nourishing and detangling each strand.

Scent: 

I love the fresh scent of this gently fragranced line.

Result: 
From the first time I used this product, I noticed a difference in my hair texture. My hair is much softer, more manageable and the shampoo actually does detangle.

PinkyPriss Review: 
Product has a creamy, yet lightweight fluid texture that lathers very well giving you excellent coverage, so a little goes a long way.

Ease of Use: 
Both the shampoo and conditioner have an easy to use pump that dispenses a moderate amount of product. The packaging is solid, so the top will not break off to cause spills. No spills = No mess!

The best candidate? 
Personally, I have dry, frizzy, thick, wavy, long hair; but from what I have read, this line works well on most hair types.

Key/Notable Ingredients(s): 
Keratin, Silk Protein, and rich in emollients

Recommended Application:  

I prefer to shampoo and condition every other day, sometimes every two days. I wash my hair twice, first to loosen dirt, then to make sure it is squeaky clean. I use about four pumps to lather and massage product into each strand. Follow with conditioner in the same product line, as they are designed to work together.

Bottom Line: 
Overall I would highly recommend this product.

PinkyPriss Review: 
The Product is an excellent detangler with a creamy, yet lightweight fluid texture that spreads easily, giving you good coverage; so a little goes a long way.

Ease of Use: 
Both the shampoo and conditioner have an easy to use pump that dispenses a moderate amount of product. The packaging is solid, so the top will not break off and cause spills. No spills = No mess!

The best candidate? 
Personally, I have dry, frizzy, thick, wavy, long hair; but from what I have read, this line works well on most hair types.

Key/Notable Ingredients(s): 

Keratin, Silk Protein, and rich in emollients

Recommended Application:  

I prefer to shampoo and condition every other day, sometimes every two days. Start, by thoroughly cleansing with a shampoo in the same product line as the conditioner. After Shampooing, towel dry hair, while still in the shower, so the conditioner can really penetrate strands. I like to use a lot of conditioner on my hair so I use about 5 pumps of the product gently massaging into scalp and adding extra to the ends. Comb through to detangle, then put hair up in a bun with an elastic, and leave in for several minutes. -This will give your hair a deeper conditioning treatment. Rinse with cold water to help lock in moisture and add shine. Using cold water closes the hair follicle to lessen drying time.

Bottom Line: 
Overall I would highly recommend this product.  

Is Frederic Fekkai's PrX Reparative Intensive Fortifying Mask Worth Buying?

Product Name: 
Frederic Fekkai PrX Reparative Intensive Fortifying Mask
fekkai.com/PrX

Price: $50.00, 5 oz.

Type: Hair Product
Category: Hair Mask

Review Headline: Frizz Free Soft Silky Hair

Overall Rating: 10 Great!

The Claim:

This intensive hair mask strengthens hair to help prevent damage; helps restore softness and smoothness; and it has fortified technology with Keratin and Silk Proteins.

Scent: 
This entire line has a clean and subtle fresh scent that smells divine.

Result: 
This mask was amazing, leaving my hair luxuriously hydrated, soft, shiny, and frizz free!.

PinkyPriss Review:  
This is a thick and creamy treatment with powerful ingredients that is infused with Keratin and Silk Proteins.

Keratin helps to strengthen hair and protect it from styling and future damage. Silk proteins (an antioxidant) can have water-binding properties to help lock in moisture; and hydrated hair = Improved healthy appearance of your hair. This protein substance (also called sericin) is formed by converting silk, which is the soft, lustrous thread obtained from the cocoon of the silkworm.

Providing advanced protection this nourishing treatment penetrates deeply and quickly to help restore moisture which can help protect hair against styling damage.

Product has a softening and revitalizing effect on my hair. Noticeably improved hydration which makes hair appear healthier and feel smoother.

Ease of Use: 
Hair mask comes in the unfortunate choice of jar packaging. Once opened and exposed to air the ingredients begin to immediately break down; and this product contains some notable ingredients.

The best candidate? 
I consider this mask to be a highly effective treatment option for dry and damaged hair.

Key/Notable Ingredients(s): 
Keratin, Silk Protein, and rich in emollients.

Emollients are supple, wax-like  lubricating, thickening agents that prevent water loss and have a softening and soothing effect on the hair. These helpful emollients provide all-over-softening, which promotes a smoother appearance to hair texture.

Recommended Application:  

I typically use a mask once a week. To use, Shampoo and condition as you usually do. Then towel dry hair, while still in the shower, so the treatment can really penetrate your strands, while gently massaging into scalp. -Don't forget to add extra to the ends of your hair. Comb through to detangle, then put hair up in a bun with an elastic, and leave in for 15 minutes. -This will give your hair a deeper conditioning treatment. Rinse with cold water to help lock in moisture and add shine. Using cold water closes the hair follicle to lessen drying time. If you wanted to, you could even leave treatment in hair overnight and rinse in the morning.

Bottom Line: 
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
