TIGI Bed Head Headrush

It doesn't keep your hair in place, it doesn't protect your hair and it doesn't really do any particular job... well that's what I thought until I had used it a couple of times and made it my occasional friend...

I am an easy target for pretty things and this product manipulated me into buying it because of how it looks. I blame the stunning colours whereas my mum blames my lack of self-control. Anyway, this product by Tigi is a bit of an oddball, and too be honest a rather pointless product. It doesn't keep your hair in place, it doesn't protect your hair and it doesn't really do any particular job... well that's what I thought until I had used it a couple of times and made it my occasional friend...

Tigi is a very trendy and contemporary hair care brand that aims its products at those who have a sense of humour and like to live on the spicy side of life. They market and supply their products to the top hairdressers and stylists and aim to offer it to us mere mortals so we can all style our hair the way the celebs do, if you're that way inclined of course. But if you take Tigi down a peg or do, they are just a fun company that sell interesting hair care products with a slightly over the top price-tag. They do a good few ranges, including a new make-up range but one of the most well know of their ranges is Bed Head. This is their fun hair care range that does not serve any other specific purpose then look good on your bathroom shelf and maybe help you to step out of your comfort zone a little when it comes to the hair-care products you use.

Now Tigi claims that this product will not only 'go to your head' (here is hoping!) but it should be a superfine, super-shine light weight spray that gives your hair extreme gloss with all over coverage. Well it sounds interesting, maybe not something I needed at the time, but something I thought I would like to try, so I did!

Well, the instructions say to spray on dry hair. That's it. Simple as pie. So I did! I pulled off the cap very easily and sprayed a good few inches away from my hair. The spray comes out quite fast so make sure you leave plenty of space between the can and your hair. But it does come out very light and it gently settles on the hair. You don't need much spray so don't get carried away, and just because you can't see the product on my hair doesn't mean that it isn't there! I went into the light and I could see that my hair did have a little added shine. But it also had a little added limpness! My hair is fine, flat and prone to grease at the best of times so if I'm honest I knew this wouldn't be great for hair type but I was willing to give it a go. The effects were not drastic and if I just bought this for the shine effect then I would blow raspberries at it. It shines, but at a cost. Rubbish! What's the point I having shiny hair for 10 seconds then it turning into a limp piece of lettuce? Well, it's a good thing it has a couple more benefits then just its shine effect!
As I said before I have fine hair and especially after washing and drying it becomes quite flyaway. If I spray a little of this over the hair (and I mean a very quick spray) and it calms down the bit of static I tend to get and it tames my flyaway hair. I have to add this is in no way, shape or form any sort of hairspray. It purely just adds a bit of liquid which controls the slight fight my hair plays against gravity. It also brings out the red in my hair. (My hair is naturally auburn, red, blonde colour, very hard to explain!) But the added shine this gives to my hair really brings out the variety of natural colour I have. But to be honest the ONLY reason I have continued to use this is because of the beautiful, seducing, mouth watering (you get the picture?)... The stunning fragrance.

Well, this has to be one of my favourite smells in the cosmetic world. It is very sweet so I am not suggesting it is one for everyone. It is fruity, has a good scent of mango in it and has a distinct citrus smell of lemon. If you smell it too much it becomes quite sickly! This is why I think the product is great, because when you're out and about, whether on holiday, at a party, after the gym or a long day at work, just spray a light amount over your hair and it instantly adds a refreshing smell boost. Brilliant if you in a position where you're worried that your hair might not smell its best but you know you might be within a close proximity of other people. I also find it adds a little something extra when I am going out or for a special night as the scent really has an effect. People have commented on what shampoo I have used, but its not he shampoo, it's this spray! It is definitely a brilliant hair refresher. The scent does not last for long, maybe an hour or two at the most, but as I said, spray lightly and you will be able to use this throughout the day.

As I said before the pretty outrageous packaging was what attracted me to this in the first place. Forget what it is for, it looked tantalising! A bright fuchsia pink metallic can and a lime green cap. With jagged black writing on the front it definitely stands out among my usual bland lotions and potions. With large dents at the top of the can for grip, it has a funky, modern edge and I really like it.
I got my can of Headrush from my hairdressers, but you can buy it online from many different beauty websites and I know a lot of the high street hairdressers are stocking Tigi products now so you should find it somewhere. If you need some extra guidance you can have a look at the Tigi website which is www.tigi.co.uk
I paid £12 for my bottle and the prices vary greatly depending on where you're buying it from. Yes I do thing the price is ridiculous but if you use it wisely not only will it last longer but it also works more effectively and doesn't make your hair so limp and greasy. I use my bottle a few times a week and after around 5 months I still have half a can left. Not bad! But if you have thicker hair you might be able to get away with using the product more liberally, which will of course reduce the amount of usage you get.

A little goes a long way, that's the moral of this review. If you spray this over your hair like hairspray or body spray then you will end up with a mop of wilting and lifeless hair. Spray a little and your hair will shine. I think the best benefit is the scent and that is the only reason I use this now. But it is a shame really because paying £12 for a hair perfume was never my intention. But I will use my can until it runs out and then find something else that catches my eye.
If you have the spare cash then give it a go and try something new, but if you're just looking for something to give your hair a little life and shine, skip this overpriced version and experiment with a cheaper one
