Fudge Skrewd

...who cut my hair, recommended Fudge Skrewd to me, because it is supposed to enhance your natural curls and eliminate frizz. She asked me if she should use some on my hair, and I thought 'why the heck not?' I must say that I have used various products like l'oreal elvive anti-frizz serum to get rid of my stupid frizz, but nothing seemed to work..untill today.


INGREDIENTS
--------

Water, PVP/VA coploymer, ...
...it looks totally different now. Fudge Skrewd is sold in a 125ml bright orange plastic can-shaped tub. It looks like a can of red bull, but a bit narrower. It has a silver press-on lid and it's placed up side down.(like toothpaste). I have to say that it looks quite high-tech, because it had a fancy silver/transparent label and black text.

There isn't very much information on the labels, I had to search for the ingredients on the internet, ... more

HOW DID I FIND OUT?
-------

I went to the hairdresser today to get my long locks chopped off. My hair tends to get really frizzy when I wear it down, because I have wavy/slightly curly hair. Because of this problem, I never wear my hair down, which annoys my boyfriend on some days, but I think some of you girls out there get what I mean.

The lovely woman who cut my hair, recommended Fudge Skrewd to me, because it is supposed to enhance your natural curls and eliminate frizz.

Water, PVP/VA coploymer, carbomer 940, tetrasodium EDTA, magnesium sulfate, dimethicone copolyl, hyrdolysed wheat protein, polyq-7, octoxynol-9, benzopnenone-4, DMDM hydantoin, triethanolamine, parfum.

LOOKS
--------

Please note that the picture Ciao uses for this product is an old one, because it looks totally different now. Fudge Skrewd is sold in a 125ml bright orange plastic can-shaped tub. It looks like a can of red bull, but a bit narrower. It has a silver press-on lid and it's placed up side down.(like toothpaste). I have to say that it looks quite high-tech, because it had a fancy silver/transparent label and black text.

There isn't very much information on the labels, I had to search for the ingredients on the internet, and I think this is not a smart thing, because everything should be on the labels. It does mention how to use it (huuray), I'll describe this in the next paragraph.

Fudge Skrewd is a transparent gel, and is rather thin and liquid; when you rub it on your fingers, it almost seems like water. The smell is rather light, fresh and a bit feminine. (but it's not just for girls!) I looked at the ingredients list again, but I can't place the smell based on the ingredients, sorry.

HOW TO USE IT
--------

After washing your hair, apply a small amount on damp hair. Scrunch it into your hair and dry normally (or blow dry) I think it is very easy to apply and use, because it is such a thin gel, it really spreads trough your hair easily.

RESULT
--------

I must say this is the best anti-frizz product I've used so far, and my natural curls really look healthy and bouncy at this moment. I know that if you use mousse or hairspray on wavy hair, it sometimes looks a little 'fake', but this dries up really naturally, and leaves you with a wet look effect for a couple of hours. I think my curls have never look better..well..to be honest, I never knew I had so much curls, because when my hairdresser blow dried my hair, I looked just like j-lo with her afro hairdo ;)

WHERE TO GET IT
--------

Fudge products are not widely available, because it is a special hairdresser’s product. Just check out yours and ask if they sell it there, or you could order over the internet, because there are websites which sell Fudge products.

You might think that with this special product comes a very special price tag, and yes it does. I paid € 14.85 for 125 ml, which comes to £10,67. (I've just searched some UK websites, and the lowest price I could find is £7,50, but this doesn't include shipping and postage costs.)

Believe me, I know this is a lot to spend on a styling product, but you only need a tiny amount, and it really works for me, so I think I'll stick to this one, but if I find anything that works equally well, for less, I think you can guess what I will do.

Fudge is manufactured in Australia and it's also very important for me to know that Fudge products aren't tested on animals.

OTHER PRODUCTS
--------

Fudge also sells a whole bunch of other products; from shampoos to conditioners to a special haircare and styling line for blondes.

I also recommend the Fudge Shaper, because my boyfriend actually uses this one, and it's for getting those fancy spikes in your hair, it does make his hair kinda hard, but stays in shape the entire day.

OVERALL
-------

I think this is a perfect styling product for me, since it deals with my annoying frizz and gives my wavy curls nice volume and bounce. I also appreciate the fact that it looks natural, so people won't think you put half the drugstore in your hair! The only disadvantage I can think of is the price; it's really a lot to pay, but I just keep in mind that it makes my hair looks fab, and it's not tested on animals, what more does a girl ( or boy ;) need?

I'll rate it 4 stars, because of the high price.
