blythiee's Full Review: Tigi Bed Head Control Freak Shampoo
I was converted to the TIGI Bed Head line years ago when my favorite stylist used their Self-Absorbed range on me. I was a faithful user of that product for two years, but eventually I found that my hair was beginning to look greasy and oily about six hours after I'd shower. I was bummed since the product had worked so well for me in the past.
I decided that I'd try Bed Head again considering my previous success. I have very thick wavy hair that is tough to control and I love to straighten it, even though it is a difficult and time consuming task. I read the description for the Control Freak line and was delighted that TIGI offered a line of products for straightening purposes only. As I was buying it I explained my previous problem to the stylist. She looked at me and said "Put the conditioner back and buy only the shampoo." I'd never considered washing my hair without conditioning it, but she insisted I try it out and shampoo twice instead of conditioning.
I did this and never thought it would work in a million years considering my thick hair and it's natural tendency to tangle all by itself. The end result was a shock. My hair was shiny and healthy-looking. It wasn't oily at all, but most of all it wasn't frizzy or dry! It was perfect!
The consistency of the product is quite thick so a little goes a long way. It is lime green in color and has a need fruity scent. I also really like the water-bottle packaging because it is perfect for getting the last bit of shampoo out when you reach the end of your bottle. It also seals quite nicely so nothing extra spills out if the bottle gets knocked over in the shower.
I feel bad shelling out $12 for a 12oz bottle, but I remind myself that I'm spending the money on the shampoo alone since I have no need for conditioner. Another perk for this product is the lovely scent. It is synthetic, but it makes my hair smell like pineapple and I really like it. However, I could understand how this might turn off someone with a sensitive nose, so beware.
All in all this is my holy grail dream product for my hair. I've been using it for about a year and a half now with no problems whatsoever. Definitely worth the investment.
