A few weeks ago, I came back from the grocery store with a cart full of food, and a little something extra for myself.
I mean, I was buying all kinds of goodies for the kiddos, so why not something for me? I couldn’t help myself. On sale, I saw these.
All orange and pretty, calling my name. I absolutely love some of the other TIGI Bed Head products, so I was anxious to try this shampoo and conditioner, Self Absorbed.
They smell pretty good. Not like a natural orange scent, but more like an orange creamsicle. I had pretty high expectations, especially since they say “Mega Nutrient.” Although I’m not quite sure what that means, it sounds promising, doesn’t it?
The shampoo was just ok. It doesn’t do much for detangling, and that’s a necessity for my curly hair. I’m sad to say that for me, the conditioner was one of the worst I’ve ever used. My hair absorbed it, but it did nothing to detangle, smooth or soften it. I conditioned twice, hoping for the best. The best was not to come. I gave it a few more tries over the next two weeks, and ended up giving it to my 11 year old daughter (who, by the way, tried it and didn’t like it either).
It was a major disappointment, especially for the price. (I paid about $22 for the shampoo and condition at the grocery store.)
I guess I’m just not a Self Absorbed kind of girl.
About Jo-Lynne
I’ve tried a couple of their shampoos and conditioners and haven’t like any of them. I have been searching for a new conditioner for detangling since redken discontinued my very favorite line active express…
I have to mention that while the shampoo and conditioner may truly not be great for your hair… keep in mind that it’s not a guaranteed product when sold outside of authorized salons.
Well, I tried a couple of different lines from the toni and guy salon and neither compared favorably to my previous redken favorites…
I hate when that happens! It’s so hard to find a good shampoo and conditioner.
i recently tried their “control freak” shampoo and conditioner and was equally disappointed. it smelled great, but that’s it! it left my hair so tangly and was awful! it had been several years since i’d used any of their products (which i remember liking), but i won’t be trying anything else of theirs for a long, long time.
