AMW Reviews: Bed Head Tigi Headrush

I do hair at times and I have to admit, I enjoy it a lot!  Given the chance, I wouldn't mind doing both hair and makeup on my clients but it really depends on how many "heads" I have to do! 

It won't be a surprise to see an area for makeup and an area for hair stuff in my room (sorry Mr. AMW, I'm turning our room into a girly pad!  lol)  Aside from makeup, I search high and low for good hair products to lug with me if I need to do hair for clients, just like makeup, I make sure to bring out the best!  

One of the brand that doesn't fail (but pricey) is from TIGI!  Bed Head products are great especially their curl boosters, hair sprays and mousse.  There's one unique product that recently came out in the market called Headrush!  The name is so unique and I'm so excited to try this!

Bed Head says ---

A lightweight aerosol supershine mist that gives explosive shine for immaculate, healthy looking hair.

Ingredients:
Cyclomethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Dimethicone Copolycol, Propylene Glycol, Dimethicone, Ethyl Ester of Hydrolyzed Silk.

Fragrance: Light Citrus
Net Wt.: 5.3 oz. 200ml

AMW says ---

Pros

• Spray type packaging that's easy to use.

• Hair feels soft, smooth and very silky after use.
• Hair has a "glossy", shiny look.
• Never feels heavy on hair.

Cons

• Scent could get a bit too overwhelming.  It's okay for me but not okay for everyone.
• Price.
• Easy to finish up the product as compared to serum.

Overall

There will be an instant gratification upon using this product as you see the shiny and glossy hair immediately after application.  The downside is how quickly you can finish up a can and of course, the price!

Tips

• Best to spray all over dry hair, after blow dry or flat iron.
• If you use products such as this on your hair, it helps to use clarifying shampoo once a week to prevent product build up.
• Try not to spray inside an enclosed room as the scent could get a bit overwhelming.
• Spraying all over the hair with a circular motion then gently brush with a paddle brush for an immediate shine.
• Store product in cool, dry place.

Will I repurchase?
Yes. For clients.

To whom do I recommend this to?

Anyone who likes the "instant" shine without messing their hands and are willing to shell out huge amount of money.  I strongly recommend hairstylists to invest on this especially if most of their gigs are for photoshoots!  This gives an instant boost of shine on hair which is great for photography!

Where to purchase and how much?
At the following salons for Php1,720.00 (approx $40.00) ---

• Basement Rockwell, Shangri-La and Eastwood
• Emphasis Rockwell
• Essensuals Megamall, Trinoma and 6750
• Henri Calayag
• Studio 546 
• TIGI Main Office at Onyx Road, Pasig

AMW says ---
Pros

•  Unique "foil" effect tube that looks really nice inside a boring bathroom. (To me, I do have boring bathroom) hehehe
• Moisturizes my hair in first washing.  I can definitely feel my hair softer and smoother.
• The shampoo itself doesn't leave your hair dry and tangled.
• My "old" hair color looks more vibrant and people are complimenting my hair color though regrowth is already visible.
• Hair looks healthier and shinier.
• The scent lasts even after your hair is dry.  It can last til your next wash.
• Thank goodness I do not have dandruff with this!

Cons

• The super strong fragrance may irritate sensitive noses.
• The price! 
• Not readily available in your regular supermarket, you have to visit salons written on the "where to purchase" section.

Overall
Considering this is a shampoo and conditioner tandem, these 2 works like a hair treatment!

Tips

• Have your hair checked before you purchase, I believe salon staffs who sell these products will help you choose the right shampoo and conditioner for you.
• If you don't have enough budget, you can purchase the shampoo OR conditioner!  Then slowly incorporate the partner once you have the budget or once you are sure the product works for you.
• You don't need to use this on a daily basis.  I prefer using this 3x a week or 2x a week when my hair doesn't feel/look that bad.
• Shampoo: Mix with water and gently massage onto the roots and the rest of the hair.  Massage well before you rinse.  
• Conditioner: Apply from mid-shaft down to the tips.  Do not apply on the root area to prevent limp hair.
• Try to steer clear from hair tools, if needed, use a heat protectant spray. 

Will I repurchase?
Yes.  Dear Lord, this is very expensive but yes.

To whom do I recommend this to?
Anyone with super dry, sensitized and damaged hair.

Where to purchase and how much?
At Basement Salons, Emphasis Salons, Essensuals Salons, Henri Calayag, Studio 546 and TIGI main office.  Shampoo is Php1,850.00 (approx $42.00), Conditioner is Php1,950.00 (approx $44.00)

Do you think your hair need this pair?
How will you save up?
I'll probably lessen my hair treatment purchase and save up for this pair!

By the way, let me blab more!  Happy Friday!  What are you doing over the weekend?  If you have time, do visit Moonlit Bazaar at Rockwell Tent December 3-4,2011.  

My dearest friend Jheng will be there to do makeovers and personal beauty consultations as she happily launch the Sweet and Smokey and Crazy Colour Palette.

AMW Reports: Bed Head

What did all the girls in this picture do prior to taking this shot?  Let's REWIND....

 

**photo credits: Thanks to Kira for this shot

I came from work straight to Basement Salon, Shangri-La branch breathless because of traffic!  I am so comfortable in this salon that I rushed to the salon and ran all the way to the second floor with my black Suede Ferretti pumps.

The dear photographer helped took a shot of "breathless" me before I got the chance to check the place and say "hi" to the rest of the girls....

Wow, I realized I walk passed a buffet table and that is not acceptable for the food lover that I am. I have to give a shout out to that chicken strips!  Tastes really good!

I looked around the salon and saw familiar faces and of course, I said hi and had a bit of chit chat with them while they had their hair done! 

One of the staff from Basement Salon went up to me and asked me some questions for them to figure out which type of Bed Head products they will use on me.  Here's a card that shows my type of hair.

I was shampooed, conditioned and blow dried as I enjoyed the scrumptious meal!  Ahhh, if this is the life of a princess, I wouldn't mine being a princess for at least a week! Hehehe

Bed Head has always been a household name for styling products!  I've used a couple of their styling products from Catwalk Extra Strong Mousse to Curl Rock Curl Boosters.  The S Factor Flat Iron Shine Spray was also used in one of the MTV shoot I've done makeup for.

The reason why the bloggers were invited to enjoy a quiet afternoon/night at a salon is because they want to introduce Styleshots and Urban Anti-dotes to us.

Let's start with Styleshots....this product line is formulated for specific purposes.

EPIC VOLUME

EXTREME STRAIGHT

Also provides humidity resistance, detangles and adds shine.

 Then there's the Urban Antidoates....

RE-ENERGIZE

Re-energize can quicly boosts  moisture and shine 

for that lifeless and dull hair

RECOVERY

RESURRECTION

They are pricier as compared to other shampoos and conditioners but let me tell you, the products above targets your hair concerns to the dot!  They washed my hair with EXTREME STRAIGHT and no matter how much the guy tried to blow dry my hair for a bit of waves/curls, it just won't happen! It went straight til the next wash!

I may have to add that the scent stays til the next day too!  Once Mr. AMW got home, the first thing he said was..."What's that nice fruity smell?". *points to myself* Loud and proud yo!

Mechanics:

• Like TIGI - Bed Head, Catwalk, S Factor Fanpage on Facebook.
