TIGI Bed Head Party Girl Gift Pack

TIGI Bed Head Party Girl Gift Pack* - £18.99

TIGI were one of the first haircare brands that I really connected with. Their products just seem to work really well & they all smell absolutely gorgeous. I love their whole brand identity & I'm always drawn to their eye-catching packaging. I spotted this set of goodies on the Hairtrade website & thought that it would make an amazing gift. I've actually bought all of these products before & would thoroughly recommend them to everyone. The Party Girl gift pack comes with full-size bottles of After Party Smoothing Cream, Headrush Shine Spray & Masterpiece Massive Shine Hairspray. It contains everything you need to prep & style your hair ready for a big night out. Best of all this set has a value of about £45 but you can get it for less than £20 on Hairtrade. Whenever I go on a night out I like my hair to look glossy & voluminous. This kit helps me to achieve that with virtually no effort. Here's how I use all of these products to style my hair:




I always apply a hair cream after blowdrying to tame frizz & smooth down any flyaways. After Party was the first smoothing cream that I really fell in love with. Running a little bit of this lightweight cream through the lengths of your hair makes it feel like silk & adds a healthy looking shine. It's especially good if you have dry hair as it'll make your ends look smooth & soft. I love the smell of this product! It's very sweet & fruity and always keeps me coming back for more.




Bleached hair rarely looks glossy & healthy on it's own. I don't like to put creams too close too my roots as this makes my hair get greasier quicker. Instead I spritz on some of the Headrush shine spray. It makes my hair look glossy from root to tip without any product build up. This spray adds depth & definition to my hair colour. If you have highlights then it helps to refresh them & brighten up your colour. It also eliminates static so you're left with perfectly polished locks. I'm obsessed with it's strawberry bubblegum scent! This spray is easily my favourite TIGI product ever. It just makes your hair look & smell so nice. To add some volume & texture to my hair I then use the Masterpiece hairspray. I lift up my top layers and give my hair a good spray from about 10 inches away. I also tip my head upside down & spray as an alternative to backcombing. This is a medium hold hairspray so it won't make your hair feel as hard as a rock. It will keep your style in place for hours but you'll still be able to brush it out if you fancy a change. This hairspray is also humidity resistant which allows you feel confident with your hairstyle whatever the weather. I like that it has a shiny finish as many other hairsprays can make your hair look matte & dull.



After applying all my products I just ruffle up the layers & shape the front sections away from my face. The hairspray does most of the work in this look but the other products will give the hair a super healthy appearance. My hair is left looking really full, textured & lustrous. It's an extremely quick & easy way to glam up your hair for a night out. Plus you'll smell good enough to eat! Are you a fan of TIGI products?

Current Haircare Routine

When it comes to haircare my main concern is trying to stop my hair from looking dry and straw like. I've been bleaching my hair this colour since 2006 with a one year break in 2009 so I've tried a fair few treatments in my time. I've noticed the last few times I've washed & styled my hair its been looking better & healthier than ever, even more so than when I sported my natural hair colour. I think I've finally got my haircare routine locked down to these few products so this might be helpful to anyone with dry or damaged hair.

L'Oréal Professionnel Serie Expert Silver Shampoo / Tigi Bed Head Urban Antidotes Resurrection Shampoo & Conditioner / Neal & Wolf Harmony Intensive Care Treatment*

I've used an absolute ton of different purple shampoos but the L'Oreal silver shampoo is the best one if you just want to eliminate all signs of brassyness. I found that many others would leave my hair tinted rather than just white blonde. Clairol Shimmer Lights often left my hair with blue tones & Lee Stafford's offering made my hair really pinky. Purple shampoos are normally quite drying too but the L'Oreal one keeps my hair feeling soft. I picked up the Tigi Urban Antidotes duo in TK Maxx but you can find them just as cheaply online. I really like all the Tigi duos because the bottles are so big they last for months. I used to use the Dumb Blonde ones but switched to Urban Antidotes as these are specialised towards extremely damaged hair. Over time this duo has definitely helped to strengthen my hair and reduce breakage. They also have the most amazing bubblegum scent. A product I recently introduced into my haircare routine is the Neal & Wolf Harmony Intensive Care Treatment. I received this at a blogger meetup and when I tried it I couldn't believe the difference it made! It has worked so much better than every other conditioning treatment I've tried including those expensive Kerastase ones. This is a must buy product if you have dry or damaged hair. It just makes my hair look so healthy & glossy. Neal & Wolf are a brand I definitely need to investigate more because if the rest of their products are as good as this I am converted!

Philip Kingsley Elasticizer

I am rather lazy when it comes to my hair so I don't use this product very often but when I do, the difference is just incredible. Elasticizer is a pre-shampoo treatment so it is a bit of a faff to use. You have to wet your hair, apply it, put on a shower cap and then leave it in for ages before shampooing it off. You can leave it in for just 20 minutes or overnight if you prefer. I like to apply it to the ends of my hair and leave it overnight before washing it out in the morning. It restores your hair to almost virgin condition making it feel silky & sleek. This product can also help with hair growth if you use it often enough as one of the main ingredients is castor oil. It is very expensive for a hair treatment but worth every penny.

Kérastase Ciment Thermique / Moroccanoil / Bumble & Bumble Brilliantine / Alterna Caviar Rapid Repair Spray

I'm still using my Ciment Thermique & Moroccanoil combo as my blow dry base products. Together they give me the perfect amount of heat protection & moisture. A couple of months ago I added Bumble & Bumble Brilliantine to the mix and this stuff is basically a good hair day in a tube. You can use it on wet or dry hair to add definition and lots of shine. I've started to use this through the lengths and ends of my hair before blow drying and it just completely renews my hair. It makes my ends look super healthy, like I've just had a trim even though my last hair appointment was a few months ago. So much love for this product! After I've finished drying my hair I like to use a bit of the Alterna Caviar Rapid Repair Spray to add even more shine & get rid of any fluffyness. I've never come across a finishing spray as lovely as this one & it smells divine to boot!

Babyliss Pro Speed 2100W Hair Dryer / Babyliss Big Hair Rotating Styler

I always have to blow dry my hair as I cannot stand having wet hair. Air drying would just make my hair stringy and lifeless anyway. I don't really like to use a curler or straightener so blow drying allows me to get the shape I desire. I know its not the best thing to do to your hair but I only wash my hair once a week and use heat protection products every time so I guess its not too bad. First of all I blast my hair with my hair dryer and run through it with my fingers. I use a Babyliss Pro Speed hair dryer which is really brilliant. I'm pretty loyal to Babyliss when it comes to hair dryers, they always last me years. Theres a newer model of this now but this one is still going strong. When my hair is almost dry but still a bit damp I switch over to my Babyliss Big Hair styler to add volume and shape. I couldn't live without this styler. It just gives you a perfect blow dry without all the effort of sectioning your hair and drying it against a round bristle brush which can be quite tricky to do by yourself. I never used to be able to do it as well as my hairdresser but Big Hair really does help to give you that professional blow dry at home look.
