Rene Furterer Karité Intense Overnight Nourishing Treatment Leave-In

I’ve mentioned that Korea’s domestic hair-care industry is pretty lackluster, especially when compared to all the rock-star skin-care products the country produces. Rene Furterer is one of the most popular hair-care brands, and interestingly enough, the focus is more on treatment than shampooing. Only three of Rene Furterer’s top 10 best sellers in Korea are shampoos. The rest are hair-treatment products, many from the popular Karité line, which centers on shea butter.



The Intense Overnight Nourishing Treatment is my everything. I love the idea of running this through my hair and waking up to a healthier mane. And thankfully, it’s super fast-absorbing so there are no issues with marking up the sheets. It also doesn’t need to be washed out in the morning, so you can just get on with your life.



But the real secret here is that the gel-like mask needn’t be confined to the graveyard shift. Because it absorbs quickly into hair with zero residue, I find myself reaching for it at all hours of the day — it also works wonders as an anti-frizz serum to quickly plump up dried-out, straw-like hair.
