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 ☺️

Wow! Incredible. I haven’t made my hair, curly in years. Always straightening or tying it up.Used this Tigi product and my curls bounced back in a big way! Im so pleased.I only used a small amount (one pump) and worked through my lengths and ends. Then dried with a diffuser.Simple, and my curls are so soft!Best of all its day 3 now and still looking great.I looked through so many product options unsure what to try - but the thousands of good reviews convinced me to try this (that and the cost effectiveness!) so glad I tried it.If like me you are returning to curly hair- give it a go- wish I had sooner!

Pretty good for my curl type! I used it at night before diffusing and added a curl jel for more hold. It creates a thick cast which for me is great because I woke up, scrunched it off with a bit of oil and I was ready to go. I'm pretty happy with the definition and hold seems to be good as well. The scent is a bit so and so for my tastes but not too bad. Overall good product at a good price.

Love this product. Holds curls for days

Absolutely love this product!!When I first tried it, it wasn’t for me. It made my hair feel crispy and had a greasy shine to it. But, a few weeks later, I gave it another go and fell in love! It’s now part of my natural daily hair routine and leaves me with soft, bouncy waves that are full of volume! (Compared to my hair before which was always limp, frizzy and no definition in the curls!)I apply to damp hair starting at the ends, scrunching to encourage my natural curls! It does feel sticky to the touch and it can be a heavy product, so apply sparingly!I then leave the product and don’t touch until my hair is dry. Once the hair is dry, it’s time to scrunch the crunch!!In exactly the same way I applied the product, I scrunch from the ends, working with the curls and waves I’ve created. And WOW, that once waxy, crispy texture disappears and you’re left with the softest, bounciest curls and waves!I also noticed it really does tame the frizz! I’d say it almost acts like a cast around your hair, keeping the curls in place, protecting them from moisture and humidity in the air!Really great product and so glad I found it! It’s been a game changer during lockdown - I haven’t blow dried or straightened my hair in 8 weeks! Usually that’d be my daily routine.I am using this product in conjunction with others such as Maui vegan shampoo (beautiful scent and gentle on hair), bed head leave in conditioner (apply to the ends short while before this Tigi product), and argan oil (apply to liven the hair after scrunching).
