What’s your favorite Oribe product and why?

Monica Brady: Supershine Moisturizing Cream. Shine, moisture, and a wonderful way to smooth flyaways. I love that you can use it daily and it helps to tie together a more even porosity from roots to end. Plus the perfect foundation before applying styling products.
