Product Rating: 5 Keeps hair straight a really long time
Reviewer: Cindy from Newport Beach, CA  Wed Dec 05 2007

Customer Image 1:


I have been using this product and it works great for my hair. I actually spray the product into my hand before applying to my hair and then I blowdry with a really big round brush. My hair not only gets straight but stays straight for days without washing. I wake up and it is still straight if not straighter then the day I used it.

Product Rating: 3 It does what the label says,,, except for the "paper straight" part
Reviewer: Curly Kelly   Mon Oct 12 2009

When I first laid eyes on this product in the stores, I needed to have it. When I got home, I took a shower and immediatly applied it all over. Big Mistake! 1) It smelled really bad and 2) it made my hair frizy and poofy, plus there was still a full head of curls. But after I read online how to use it properly, it worked..... ish. First of all, DONT LISTEN TO THE DIRECTIONS! You have to spray a small amount in your hand and then comb through evenly. Secondly, apply right after you take a shower. Dont wait until your hair is dry because it will turn stickie and greasy. Lastly, blow dry!!!!! Air dying will cause it to curl. Once I did this, it turned out okay, like when I straighten my hair and then it rains. That's how it turns out, straight at the top and curly on the eges. Overall, this is an okay product but it only saved me about ten minutes of straightening and it was too costly. Not really worth it.

Reviewer: jem   Mon Sep 14 2009

I bought Control Freak at a salon on the recommendation of the hairstylist and boy! am I disappointed. The shampoo feels VERY sticky and weird, takes a long time to rinse out, and the conditioner is just as bad and does absolutely NOTHING for my hair. I went out and bought a huge bottle of Tresemme instead and am much happier with that cheap brand. Buyers beware of Control Freak!!!!

Product Rating: 2 Not too good
Reviewer: Sukanya Ayde from India  Sun Sep 06 2009

This is actually not very good...i used it and it really dint give me straight hair as it promised, so thats pretty disappointing concidering its BED HEAD TIGI and its apparently supposed to be good n all.
2. its foam and not mist so you've got to spray some in your hands and apply it.this way one dosent know what is the appropriate amount to be applied.
3. directions for use are completely unsatisfactory.
my hair is wavy and remained that way after drying up...The good part was that my hair became soft, but thats really not what its supposed to do !
So, dont buy it,i dont think it'll give you straight hair as it promises.

Reviewer: K,Y.F from Floral City, FL  Tue Jul 28 2009

This product is a waste of money, I tried and it's horrible! Don't buy it! 3 things are really wrong with it okay,
1.it smells B.A.D! it smells disgusting.
and 2. it makes your hair hard and gross. plus it's super hard to get out.
3.it WILL NOT do what it says it will, no way.
don't buy it, it's horrible.

Product Rating: 1 worst straightening product EVERR.
Reviewer: kourtney from ohio  Sun Jul 05 2009

i wanted my hair to be pin straight because my hair is naturally curly and always gets wavy in the humidity after i straighten it. This was the FIRST bed head product i have ever bought and it says its suppose to work with dry or damp hair but it made my hair crisp, stiff and WAVY .. doing it BOTH ways. i would never recommend using this product at ALL. its a waste of money and damages hair.

Reviewer: megan from new york, new york  Wed Jun 03 2009

This smells REALLY bad. Doesnt even make hair straight.

Product Rating: 5 Must use whole line for results...
Reviewer: Tricia   Sat May 30 2009

But the line is amazing!!! I am a dog grooming so I work in a very humid salon with my furry clients shaking themselves off on me year round. I also have very curly frizzy hair, it was impossible to keep my hair strait in the salon. So I tried the Control Freak line - a costly attempt, but am very pleased. It works awesome as long as you used all of the products together. Good luck

Product Rating: 1 A waste of money
Reviewer: Sarah   Fri Dec 19 2008

I bought this product because everyone says that Bed Head is amazing. I also love straight hair, and wanted to see how well this works. I totally regret it. It did not work AT ALL; just made my hair very hard and smell overly-fruity. I'm warning you, If you're thinking about buying this products, DON'T!

Product Rating: 4 Pretty good.
Reviewer: Cara from Seattle  Sun Nov 30 2008

I do agree with another reviewer that the directions suck. My main questions were how much do I put on? And how do I apply it? However, deciding to experiment a little with the product . And I am pretty satisfied. I have curly, poofy hair that frizzes on the top of my head from humidity. I have really struggled to find a product that works. I applied the spray first, but worried that I would get too much on, I sprayed on my hand and then combed it through with my fingers.

Product Rating: 4 Just got it today
Reviewer: Kristina   Sun Sep 07 2008

i used it right when i got home it worked pretty well my hair is really just poofy curly wavy frizzy its just really gross but when i used this it isnt frizzy and i only had to straighten a few spots in my hair and thats prolly because i was really lazy when i was blow drying my hair

i would def. get it again

Product Rating: 5 Greatly Amzing.
Reviewer: bobbie   Sun Jul 06 2008

I just purchased about 6 cans of this product. I have wavy hair that not even a straight iron works on. It takes me about 1-2 hours on my hair to get it straight. I Like my hair perfectly straight. So I have been looking for a product that does just that. When I first used bed head product. I didand didnt think it would work. I first used it, and I had the hair I wante. It's easy to use and works great! The first picture I have, is my natural hair. I did nothing with it that day. The second picture is after I purchased and used this product. It really works.

Product Rating: 5 you know
Reviewer: blondie   Thu Apr 17 2008

this was made to be used with the other products to go with it. like really, if you payed attention you would have known that. i think this is a great product and i use it with the other control freak products. heres a tip... when drying your hair use the conair brush thing that looks like a striaghtner type thing. itll be even more striaght!!!!!

Product Rating: 1 What Is This?
Reviewer: Dissappointed Dolly   Wed Apr 02 2008

No directions on the bottle and it comes out like the foam from a fire extinguisher, then feels like you've coated your hair with cotton candy. I feel like I'm wearing a bike helmet. Yuck.

Product Rating: 1 Would Not Buy Again
Reviewer: Marie Roma from Philadelphia, PA  Mon Mar 10 2008

I thought TIGI Bed Head products were top of the line, that is why I bought this awful spray. I have mildly wavy hair and it did not straighten it even a little bit. All I was left with, was sticky hair. Awful, not worth the money...
