Hot summers are my hairs worst enemy. Humidity seems to kill any shine
or style I happen to have my hair in. Not only that the sun plays a role
in how well my hair looks, as well as summer activities such a
swimming.
My hair dries out easily. It is a thick horses mane, and taking care
of it at times is such a headache. I have used tons of different
conditioner promising moisturization, manageability, and protection from
the sun. None of these promises ever came through, and all of these
products ended up in the closet full of lies. The closet full of lies is
basically a cabinet I have filled with products that still need to be
returned.
Bed Head has always been a pleaser though, however the prices for most
of their products are not so pleasing. When I cam across TIGI Bead Head
Moisture Maniac, it seemed like the product that I absolutely needed to
bring life back to my dry fur. But the small 8.5 ounce bottle was $10. I
could have gotten the larger bottle for $25, but I wanted to try it
before I took such a large dip into my wallet for conditioner.
PACKAGED:
TIGI's Moisture Maniac is in a bottle that I'm not quite used to when
it comes to conditioners. Its in a clear bottle with a pull up cap
centered at the top. Basically you just pull up the nozzle, and squirt
some into your palm. The bottle itself is clear plastic, and the
conditioner is a light peach color. I like clear bottles because it
makes it easy to determine when you need to buy some more.
This bottle was small, and I have a lot of hair, so I use more than
the average person. I imagined I would need to restock in just a few
weeks with daily use.
SCENT:
It's pleasing, but I have smelled much better scented shampoos.
Moisture Maniac has a light powder type scent to it. It's hard to
explain, but mostly what I smell is granny smith apples.
MY USE:
I have found that using a products sister shampoo does squat, and your
main want is a good conditioner. It does not matter how cheap and
stinky your shampoo is, so long as your conditioner is the bomb diggity,
you are golden.
So I first rinsed with some cheap dollar store shampoo, and next
applied a decent amount of conditioner to my hair. The conditioner
itself was extremely thick, but not so thick as to where it was hard to
squeeze from the bottle. I ran it through my wet hair, and let it sit
while I shaved. About 3-4 minutes total sitting time.
As I rinsed out, my hands were easily able to slide through my hair.
When this rare occurrence happens I am able to tell how well the
conditioner worked, and I had a feeling this one worked some magic.
After stepping out of the shower I could run a comb -yes, a comb,
through my thick hair with ease. Not once did I fall upon a tangle.
Once my hair was dry I was left with a soft silky and shiny style. I
was in control of my hair, and not the other way around. The conditioner
seemed to tame frizz and puff, and I was happy. The advertising didn't
lie; my hair felt revitalized.
ISSUES:
1. Once the conditioner begins to run low, it becomes difficult to
squeeze the remaining product out of the bottle. The conditioner is
thick, so it does not just glide up to the opening. You have to really
use some muscle power to fling the rest out of the bottle into your
hand.
2. The conditioner is expensive, and you really don;t get very much.
My one bottle only lasted me 3 weeks. I used it daily, so I know this
played a role in it running empty fast. I also use a lot because of my
thick hair, and long length.
All in all though TIGI Bead Head Moisture Maniac is a pleasure to use.
It restores my hair from summer damages, it leaves it soft, silky, easy
to manage, and best of all, it keeps my hair under control on hot humid
days. I couldn't of asked for more. (Now I just need to gather up my
closet full of lies, and return them for more Moisture Maniac)
