Frizzy, fuzzy, out-of-control hair can be a challenge for a
majority of men, women and children.
Beauty editors have searched for the very best anti-frizz
formulations and
Fioravanti Gel defrisant from René Furterer has been one of the
darlings of beauty editors.
Over the years I have tried literally hundreds of different hair
care products designed to address just about every strand condition.
During my years of testing I have discovered René Furterer
offers many many fabulous hair care solutions that promise brilliant
results and wonderful TLC.
What makes the
René Furterer products so exceptional? They were designed
to work in well-thought out collections created to target specific
tress related challenges.
Fioravanti Gel defrisant is the cornerstone of the René Furterer
frizz controlling solution. Designed to work with
René Furterer Fioravanti Anti Frizz
Silkening Shampoo and
René Furterer Fioravanti Anti Frizz
Silkening Conditioner.
Hair Type
Fioravanti Gel defrisant is designed to assist
unmanageable, unruly, fuzzy or frizzy hair.
Whether you have hair that is naturally curly, wavy,
damaged or excessively dry, if your tresses frizz, you
are a great candidate for Fioravanti Gel defrisant.

C concentrate, to add shine, bounce, and softness to hair.

Packaging & Aroma
This frizz busting winner comes packaged in the
traditional emerald green René Furterer squeeze tube
with elegant white lettering. The aroma is
fragrant and fresh but extremely light. The aroma
does not linger on your hair after you apply the
product.
How To Use The Product
Fioravanti Gel defrisant has multiple uses. It
can be used:
1. Alone as a styling aide to assist in achieving a frizz
free, stick straight blow out.
2. Layered or "cocktailed" with a leave-in conditioning
product or other styling products to assist in the definition of
frizz free curls and waves.
3. As a frizz busting styling product applied to damp hair
that is allowed to air-dry with or without rollers.
4. As a touch up product applied lightly to dry hair that has
become frizzy.
René Furterer recommends you start with the
René Furterer Fiorvanti Anti-Frizz
Silkening Shampoo and follow with the
René Furterer Fioravanti Anti Frizz
Silkening Conditioner. Rene Furterer recommends leaving
the
conditioner in the hair for at least 3 minutes. This is a
very lightweight conditioner that helps to add shine and make
detangling easier.
For optimal results, rinse hair in cool to cold water as the last
rinse. This helps to minimize frizz. Towel blot to remove
excess moisture before applying the
Fioravanti Gel defrisant.
Apply a dab of the Gel defrisant into the palms of your hands and
massage well. Apply to the hair concentrating the mixture on
the areas that tends to be most unmanageable or attract frizz.
Be sure that lengths and ends are well saturated.
Styling Options
Either blow dry straight with a round or paddle brush
or let tresses air-dry naturally. If you prefer,
add extra dabs of Fioravanti gel and scrunch to create
loose waves.
Note: If you hair is naturally curly avoid touching
damp hair with fingers as much as possible. Consider
partnering Fioravanti gel with a long finger diffuser for well
defined curls.
Karen's Notes
Depending on my mood, the day of the week or a
variety of other factors I like to change up how I care
for my very long, naturally wavy, medium thick coarse
hair that is highlighted and has curls at the nape of my
neck. In curly hair circles I would be considered
a "Type 2" with some perimeter 3 curls.
This gel works whether I blow dry my hair straight, use my long
finger diffuser to accent the waves and pop out some of the marginal
curls or let my hair air dry. I have scrunched with it and
"wet bunned" with it. I have even plopped with it.
Wet bunning means simply to towel blot excess moisture,
detangle and then apply the desired styling/conditioning products
before wrapping the damp strands into a big fat bun at the back of
the head. This is a way to air dry and encourage texture.
Plopping means to towel blot, detangle lightly, apply
desired products into the hair and the "plop" all of the hair into a
towel to help form curls.
Scrunching means to use fingers (which may cause frizz for
people with lots of curls) and a blow dryer and use fingers to
"scrunch" in waves and texture.
I have used this amazing Fioravanti gel "neat" or cocktailed with
Fioravanti Detangling cream which I adore.
When I cocktail, I mix a few dabs of the Fioravanti gel with the
Detangling cream in the palms of my hands and then I
"fingerpick" the mixture through my tresses from the ears down.
I love how this product helps my normal post-shampoo tangles appear
to drop right out.
Although I rarely ever use hot tools (hot curlers, curling irons,
straight irons) on my hair to avoid any unnecessary damage, I have
used a straightening iron on my hair that was blow dried with the
Fioravanti Gel defrisant. The hot iron worked beautifully
and their was no stickiness whatsoever.
Rene Furterer Secrets
Not too many people know this, but I literally
stalked the René Furterer company until they would allow
HairBoutique.com
to sell their amazing products. It took me almost
three years, tons of phone calls and shameless begging
to finally get approval to sell this amazing line.
Yes, we sell some of the finest hair product lines in the world
at HairBoutique.com.
And yes, I have personally tried just about everything we sell, but
I do have my favorites. The reason that I stalked René
Furterer is because I first discovered the line in 1997 and became a
huge fan.
Am I recommending this product because I love it and use it?
Heck yes. But also because anyone who has been visiting me at
HairBoutique.com over the
past ten years knows that I never recommend something I don't
personally use or feel is a great product.
There are many other defrisant products out on the market.
Some excellent ones that I have also used and love. If you
have a hankering for a fabulous defrisant gel, the
Fioravanti Gel defrisant simply amazing. Don't believe me,
just ask any Beauty Editor worth her weight in beauty secrets and
you will discover why this product is always on the editor's lists
for best products.
Summary
This anti-frizz legend is a must-have for anyone with frizzy hair
or hair that won't behave. It also works wonders as a
straightening product used in conjunction with a boar's head brush
and a blow dryer.
One of the great advantages to this lightweight defrisant gel is
that it leaves no oily residue and is never sticky like some
competitive products. It works well on all types of hair from
thin to thick. It will not weigh down thin strands but has the
oomph to handle thick tresses.
Of course it is extremely important to note that not all hair
care products work as well for all people. However, in the
majority of cases, this product will leave your hair soft,
manageable, tangle and frizz free.
