I Caved - Tweak'd

Icegoddess — Sat, 04 May 2024 23:38:10 GMT

The other night when it was first presented as a Weekly Deal Drop? I said I didn't need it since I had just gotten a CurlSmith mousse which I do like. But, my hair is going through a phase, and I just couldn't resist today. Bought the 2XL Thermo Foam-to-Elixer.

My hair goes through phases throughout the year, some of which are perm phases and some of which are dry or humid air related. I may be going through 2 phases at once right now. It seems as soon as I tell my hairdresser it's time to get a new perm and she schedules it either my hair will suddenly behave making me re-think the perm or, like this time, it just rebels. All the perm has grown out at the roots. It never loses curl on the ends; it has to be cut off. Plus, we currently have like 90% humidity.

I may only need the volume products until I get the perm next month, but I'm telling myself I'll be able to use the Wig in a Foam after the perm.

Count me in the same boat ... I caved too. I do have a generous supply of the spray so we will see how this foam measures up.

@Icegoddess I watched a presentation and the foam sounds good for those with longer hair. Mine is short and the styling creme works well for me.

I hope you checked your Coupons and Kash. HSN dropped a $5.00 code in mine the other day. It can be used multiple times and is valid until 5/31. (I've already used it three times. 😉)

@JeanLouiseFinch I didn't think to check my Kash, but there wasn't any there anyways. TopCashBack has 15% off HSN today though, so there's that. They really should give me some Kash or a coupon since it's my birthday month.

My hair is a little short of shoulder length, so not long or short.

I use the Tweak'd prroducts and really like them. I have the volume shampoo and conditioner, revitalizing spray and the XL Chiuri Super creme styler. I think you will be happy with them.

@Icegoddess I love Tweak'd products and have been using the line for quite sometime.

I do still alternate at times with Wen but I mostly use my Tweak'd now. I have a short curly pixie cut so I am anxious to see how you like the foam to elixir, not sure if it would work for me or not. Please post a review for us!

@Icegoddess - Since I had a 10.00 coupon on HSN, I ordered it in the Summer Lovin' scent. I only use Wen's mousse on my hair so I'm curious to see how this one compares.

I was just reading the directions online and it states not to shake it. I'm glad I read that.

See, see, I knew this was going to happen. I wrote in another post that every time Denis comes on, even though I already have a stash of his products, I always buy something. So I entered the zone again and bought the new shampoo/conditioner and the glacier milk duo. And that's just from the first show, he's on several more times today. Somebody help me ...

I was doing good until the last presentation and caved and ordered the shampoo/conditioner & foam in Superbloom.

@San Antonio Gal I noticed that too. Usually, a mousse needs to be shaken, so that'll be a difficult habit to break.

I caught the last presentation and I caved too! Not like I don't have other styling products but I do want to see if this adds volume, which is what I am interested in.

Did anyone hear if this can be used in addition to the chiuri styler? I would think you could use both since they aren't designed for the same purpose, just wondering if it had been discussed.

@sueinsf I don't see why not. I often will use a cream and then a gel, and now a mousse, LOL. BTW, I had a good hair day today. It's as if it's taunting me for buying it.

Re: I Caved - Tweak'd

JudyL — Sun, 05 May 2024 23:45:26 GMT

@sueinsf and @Icegoddess - I have the churi styler but hardly use it. Just use it if I'm going out somewhere to lunch, dinner, etc. Other days, I just wash with Tweak'd shampoo and conditioner and let my hair air dry.

Question - what is the difference in using the styler to the mousse? Aren't they both bascially the same things used for styling hair? I watched the presentation but don't understand the difference unless its just preference for one over the other?

Re: I Caved - Tweak'd

Icegoddess — Mon, 06 May 2024 00:53:00 GMT

@JudyL I have the Chiuri styler, but I mostly use it on 2nd day hair if I need to wet it down. I don't know that it gives me a lot of volume. I don't think of a cream doing that anyways. I generally think of creams as anti-frizz and gels more definition. That may not be correct, but that's just the way I think of them. The only reason I really ever need to wet down my 2nd day hair is because of frizz. I generally run a wide-tooth comb through it from underneat to get rid of any tangles. Not a lot of tangles, I don't get a lot of frizz. If I have a lot of tangles, I run it through more, and my hair tends to grow, and not in a good volumized way. Hope that makes sense.

Yes you can use the foam in addition to chiuri. I have done that with the older Tweak'd Restore foam and chiuri for years.

Re: I Caved - Tweak'd

dm126 — Mon, 06 May 2024 13:58:20 GMT

Both have treatment ingredients. The foam is a lot lighter weight than chiuri. Foam has no actual hold to it, where churi has customizable hold. Foam has the thermogel technology (from the eye drops he says on air) and the chiuri does not.

I caved & got the pomegranate. I got my hair cut short & it's very fine so need some volume. I have tried Taya, Mudd, Tru Hair & Embellsh and haven't had luck with any of them. When a stylist does it on tv it's very misleading.

Re: I Caved - Tweak'd

sueinsf — Tue, 07 May 2024 03:55:32 GMT

@JudyL I could be wrong about this but I think of the Chuiri Styler as more of a heat protectant and styler before blow drying (although I suppose you can also use it and air dry). It says it is for hydration and hold. It also says it tames frizz and adds shine but I don't find that to necessarily be the case. I think of the Foam more for volumizing (we'll see if it does). I know WEN offers both a styling cream and a mousse so I think of these as the Tweak'd versions.

@dm126 Eye drops? I missed that part. What does eye drops have to do with thermogel technology? Thanks.

he explains it in the presentations.
