Honest ESSENCE reviews of Fenty Hair

“When it came time to try the products for myself, I sat down with no one else Yousef– Rihanna’s current favorite stylist – who I warned about my fried ends. He looked at me and said, “Girl, please!” and led me to the sink. He started by thoroughly cleansing me with The Rich One Moisture Repair Shampoo, which left my hair noticeably soft, and then followed it up with Richer One Moisture Repair Deep Conditioner. Once I stepped away from the sink, he applied the Protective Type 5-in-1 Heat Protective Styler and went to work blowing my hair out. He finished with Controlling Hair Edge Thickening Gel to smooth out my edges. My hair remained elastic, light, shiny and simply good. The experience made me want to use the rest of the line. This is definitely a collection I would add to my weekly washing ritual.”

“I was extremely impressed with Fenty Hair products. Not because I doubted Rihanna for a moment, but because generally speaking, it can be difficult for me to find products that do all of this. I was lucky enough to test the products a few weeks before the launch. Ursula Stephen – who gave Rihanna her iconic big chop during the “Umbrella” era – did my hair. While washing my hair, I couldn’t help but become obsessed with the delicious scent coming from the Rich One shampoo. But for me, the holy grail of the whole experience was the styling products. After rinsing out the conditioner, Ursula used The Protective Type to protect my hair from the heat from the diffuser. She then used Homecurl Curl Defining Cream which is my new favorite! My hair felt super soft and looked incredibly defined – almost as if she had used gel, but without the sticky consistency.”

“When Rihanna’s team tested these products on my hair, I first noticed the delicious, woody aromas. Rich One Shampoo produces a wealthy lather with only a small drop, so you get more in your money. Meanwhile, the Moisture Repair Deep Conditioner has sunk deep into the kinks of my thick, textured hair, providing the right foundation for the protective hairstyles I wear. After the legendary Yusef braided my hair (think Rihanna’s cover), Hair-Thickening Edge Control held my ends well, strengthening them without drying them out. It’s difficult to discover a hair care product that works for each texture, but with Fenty Beauty leading the industry, Fenty Hair is a natural next step.
