It’s the new year, and along with personal resolutions (go to the gym more, stop and smell the roses, blah-ba-dee-blah) my beauty resolutions are paramount to this commitment. One of the areas that can always use work for so many of us heat-styling addicts is better, healthier hair. Since my hair is naturally curly, a morning blow-out is necessary 4-5 times a week for me just to emerge looking presentable.
Finding products to help me repair my hair after all the daily damage that blow-dryers, curling irons, flat irons and overall environmental aggressors do is a constant mission for me. When I was recently invited by the Fekkai team to experience their new PrX line at their Soho salon (and get a fun blow-out – bombshell for me, complete with bejeweled hair accessories,) I jumped at the chance.
While getting the royal treatment in the ultra-relaxing massaging shampoo chair before the blow-out, my stylist began talking to me about all the great benefits of this new PrX line. The line contains PrX Reparatives Shampoo ($30-$49), PrX Reparatives Conditioner ($30.00 – $49.00,) PrX Reparatives Intensive Fortifying Mask ($49.00) and PrX Reparatives 3 Day Transformation ($100.) All four products are designed to transform “dry, unmanageable strands into soft silky hair with movement.†My initial impressions was that my hair felt smooth and soft immediately following the shampoo and rinse, so, I knew the best was yet to come. After I emerged with clean hair, my hair was styled in loose, bouncy waves and decorated with a gorgeous Jennifer Behr headband. Take a look at the transformation below. First picture – sad, boring ol’ bun. Second picture – glorious big bouncy hair and a stunning bejeweled headpiece to adorn my shiny tresses.
In the weeks that followed, I was amazed to see just how much repair this system did for my hair. The dual action technology in the PrX line “helps to protect against keratin loss while helping to prevent future damage by conditioning and restoring smoothness.†Using the shampoo and conditioner every other day has given me softer and smoother hair, but it was the mask and 3 day treatment that was truly the piece de resistance. After my first use with the mask, I saw a dramatic difference in the texture of my ends and significant reduction in frizziness. There was a sleek-ness that had not been there before and my hair looked very healthy. Over the course of a month, with regular use of the mask and the 3-day intensive treatment, I have seen less breakage from blow-drying and my hair seems stronger and easier to manage. With results like these, this is a resolution that will no doubt be easy to keep.
