Topganic Professional Collection Style & Go Moisturizing Cream Keratin Protein Intensive Repair
I was excited to try the Topganic Styling line because it is packed with such good ingredients AND I have been looking for a quality cream-based styling agent for the harsh, cold winter months when hair can get especially frizzy and dry. My goal was to find something conditioning that doesn’t leave hair waxy or dull or give the appearance of an old-lady set to hair but still provides structure. Topganic Style & Go does a great job on all these requirements.
STYLING GOAL: I was going for a soft, loose, smooth wave done with a big round brush and my CHI Hairdryer.
My hair is not naturally smooth and quickly loses a curl without at least a medium hold product, yet I wanted it to remain touchable so my goal was limited-to-no hairspray. I also wanted a smooth, well-conditioned look that has some hold and structure to the wave but still remains a healthy, shiny and not a waxy or stiff look. Topganic Style & Go works very well for this purpose. I think it would also work well for a nice sleek straight blowout style.
FEATURES
This has several conditioning ingredients and nutrients great for getting hair into strong shape while providing styling. Some ingredients include Brazilian Nut Oil, Keratin Protein repair and several conditioning and moisturizing ingredients for hair and scalp including minerals that are great for hair like Selenium (excellent for the scalp) and Zinc to prevent hair shedding (great if you are suffering hair loss.) Other conditioning properties include Shea Butter, and for moisture omega 6 & 9 fatty acids. It is suitable for everyday use. This product really focuses on scalp health, an important foundation for healthy hair.
SCENT
This features Brazilian Nut oil, which smells wonderful but it definitely scented even after it is dry in your hair, so it is not necessarily suitable for a scent-free office. But it is a very lovely scent. Note this is not an Ojon nut type of intense scent, it could compliment any fragrance you are wearing, but it is strong enough (in my opinion) to compete with conflicting scents such as florals or single note scents. The scent may have seemed too strong to me because I probably used too much, as discussed below.
APPLICATION/USE
The Instructions say apply as much as needed and I applied too much. The consistency is more like a lightweight conditioner, but it is a very concentrated formulation, more like a thick cream. A small amount will do the trick for my past bra-strap length hair I probably would use a few pumps for a collective size of quarter or so per each side of my hair, a little extra on the dry ends. Evenly comb through. Dry and style as usual. I didn’t use hair spray but it would not be too much product if one wanted to do so.
VERDICT
I really loved the bounce factor of my hair, the smoothness, shine and how soft it felt. It held a soft wave well when used with a blow-dryer and brush. LOTS of great ingredients. The consistency is deceptive, not too much product is needed, making this a very nice value. I am happy to find a nice styling product for winter. Good product for styles that need a bit of product to hold the look such as a French twist or braid, loose chignon or bun, or an up-do.
