I don’t know if I mentioned this before but I finally got a haircut about three weeks ago and have decided that I need to take better care of my hair. So, I have been looking for a relatively light hair treatment which delivers volume and this particular TIGI leave-in conditioner seems to fit the bill. The Superstar range is part of TIGI’s Bed Head series and is targeted at folks who want volumized hair that is soft to touch.
I have oily roots and dry ends, so my hair can sometimes get quite flat and heavy. I tend to look for products that can add volume without weighing my medium length hair down. There aren’t as many volumizing hair products available in our local market compared to Western countries. Maybe Asians generally prefer stick straight hair? I may be wrong about this but I do see a lot of rebonded long tresses out there.
Description:
• Conditions, detangles and adds volume.
• Protein complex repairs and adds moisture.
• Provides UV color protection.

Pump up your hair! Conditions, detangles, adds volume and gives light hold.
My Thoughts:
The TIGI leave-in conditioner comes in a sassy, bright pink spray bottle. The product has a tendency to come out in squirts rather than an even spray, so I would just apply three pumps onto my palms, rub them together and spread the product throughout the length of my hair, and then blow dry.
It makes my hair feel softer and better conditioned. It does not add much volume but it’s good enough to not have my hair appear flat. It also doesn’t seem to provide any hold at all, which is a little disappointing. As I can still feel the conditioning effects the next day even after a hair wash, I don’t tend to use the product daily as I’m a bit wary that it may weigh my hair down and make it appear more greasy.
It has a strong, sugary sweet strawberry scent but it does fade once my hair is blown dry. I will not recommend most TIGI products if you’re sensitive to smells because they can be very heavily fragranced. Other than that, the product does deliver on most counts and I am fairly satisfied with it.
Availability:
TIGI haircare products can be found at Sasa stores and selective hair salons. The Superstar Volumizing Leave-In Conditioner retails at RM85 for each 200ml bottle.

Hey Lyn, I've found that volumnising products in Asia are disguised as "Anti-Hair Fall" products. They tend to combine conditioning to prevent snags and volumnising to make you think you have more hair. I'm annoyed with that fact but I can't deny that most do volumnise.
Oh, dear… I wasn't aware they were marketed as such O_o Thanks for the tip, Kahani!
ever since i trimmed my hair to layers, the frizz has been really annoying since i now have lighter ends, and they tend to stick out and fly =_= i need a moisturizer that can help to weigh my hair down without being too greasy
Hi xin, I can decant some into a spray bottle for you to try. It's quite good but I do find that it is a bit too moisturising for me as my roots are really oily. This is why I can't use it everyday.
Tried fekkai volumiser which is heat activated….love it!! My hair is like urs oily scalp and dry ends wavy at the ends too.
Hi Iza, Thanks for the recommendation! Sadly, Frederic Fekkai is not available locally but I'm hoping Sephora will bring their products in soon.
