Catwalk By TIGI - Curls Rock Amplifier Curly Hair Cream - For Enhanced Curls - 150 Ml

My hair has seriously suffered recently and I’m not sure of why…but think it’s a mix of things from sun damage, me box-dying my hair in lockdown, stress as I worked as a GP receptionist in a surgery that was also chosen as a main covid vaccination centre in our local area, and from tying my hair back in clip that were to tight and hair bands that were too damaging. I can’t pinpoint one particular thing, but my hair suffered big time. It just died and went straight in the middle section, which over time I’m now trying to cut out bit by bit. Of course curls take ages to grow as they spring back. I also thought damage could be product related, so decided to do Curly Girl Method for a few months. Long story short CGM doesn’t really work for me. My hair loves the weight of silicones etc. I now follow “Manes by Mell” on YouTube. She’s fab. I use Elements she does in her routine like brushing through all the products with a denman brush when hair is very wet to encourage definition, using a micro fibre towel (big bonus for curls), air drying, and wearing a silk bonnet at night (my poor husband 🤣). On top of everything else my favourite hair product OGX decided to stop manufacturing their Coconut Quenching curl cream, so is now discontinued. Not a happy bunny. I’ve been now trying to find products my hair loves, gives me great definition, and lasts and holds all day, and is good value for money.Now on to the product review (but did think the background first para may be helpful to a few). I’ve got very dry, tight, frizzy, damaged Caucasian hair (apart from my straight very dead hair at the ends on top layer of hair). I’d class my curls as very varied curl pattern (tighter at root and back of nape of neck) and would class them as 3b/3c curls. HALLELUJAH for this product. After months of expense and frustration and terrible products claiming to be something they’re not, I decided to give this Tigi product a go. I didn’t hold out much hope to be honest as I’ve now got a cabinet of once used products that my hair doesn’t like. Bit OMG I’m so glad I got this. This is such a great cream. Far superior to my old discontinued fav coconut quenching curl cream.The cream is quite runny, like a conditioner texture I’d say, but a little more transparent. I add John Freda Hair Serum to very wet hair, followed by Garnier Ultimate Blends Banana Hair Food Leave-in conditioner then finish with 3 pumps of this rubbed into my hands and put on hair with praying hands on each side (6 pumps of cream in total). This may sound a lot to some, but I do have thick hair and need to show it who’s boss 😂. This gives me the best bouncy well defined curls I’ve seen on my hair in a long long time. I’m amazed and overjoyed. My hair feels so soft with this too once I’ve scrunched the crunch. On the first day of using this product I had 3 people who know me very well and see my regularly say “oooh your curly are gorgeous today what have you used”. Especially when one of those was my fella. When they see you every day they don’t tend to notice….but even he did. It makes the hair a little bit crunchy, but crunchy means good hold to me, and may be because I put more product in. I prefer leaving it to air dry then finish off with the dyson hairdryer diffuser. Then ‘scrunch the crunch’ and Voila. Gorgeous bouncy springy curls hanging in their beautiful curl families. I ordered another 3 bottles straight away, confident that this product is now my HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT. Yipeeeeee. Very happy curls…..very very happy Tigi girl ☺️

Great product, defines curls and keeps it looking shiny

This product does exactly what it promises. It gives definition and bounce to my curls without leaving them stiff or crunchy. Plus, it smells incredible and lasts all day.

I saw a few reviews for this on YouTube when searching for products used for 'wash and go's'. Had I not have seen the videos, I wouldn't have guessed I could have used products from this brand on my mixed, 3c/4a afro hair.Anyway, I put this into freshly washed/conditioned wet hair. The consistency was a bit tacky, but I didn't let that put me off. I applied a fingertip sized amount to small section, and worked it in. My curls started to form and define straight away.I let my hair air dry for several hours, and blasted it on cool with the diffuser before bed. (I think I may have used too much product, which is why it took a while....). I put my hair in a 'pineapple' under a silk scarf to sleep.In the morning, my hair was a little crunchy ( too much product!), yet very, very curly with a good sheen, and wasn't greasy to the touch. I separated some of the curls further, to give more volume.Day 3 I had a little fluffiness at the front of my hair, but everywhere was still soft and moisturised with no dryness (which is a problem for my low porosity hair).I found that all I needed to do was add a tiny spray of water to the fluffy area, and rake through, and the curls came back defined in seconds. This feature was appealing to me, as I have to tie my hair back for work. Some areas can get stretched, while others get a little fluffy, so being able to just add water and touch up my hair when it's worn loose again is wonderful.I would recommend this product. I had 7 days worth of curly, soft hair. It got bigger as the week went on, but not huge (as with some other products). Even on day 7, the curls were still 70% defined, so I could have gone much longer. The fragrance is lovely, but thankfully the scent isn't one that lingers on the head, so even after a week there's no smell of product build up.This has worked out to be very good value, as it's going to last for a very long time sine not much is needed. It works a treat on my daughters 2b/2c hair as well.

The only product my wife was using for the curls defintion in the last 20 years !
