TIGI Catwalk Sleek Mystique Haute Iron Spray Review

By Nisha Negi

Hello pretty ladies,

No matter how hard I try to resist, I end up straightening my hair quite often, but I guess that it’s not just me, but all of us do that. I know heat damages the hair, causes split ends, etc., but I just love the feeling of straight hair. Moreover, I guess it is because I have wavy hair and it is nature’s law that we find ourselves inclined to do things that we don’t have. I straighten my wavy hair quite often, so I try not to damage my tresses by other means like blow drying, curling iron or direct exposure to the sun. Hence when I bought a straightening iron, I bought a heat protecting spray as well.  This is a review of Sleek Mystique Haute Iron Spray by TIGI Catwalk.  Let’s get started with the details now.

TIGI Catwalk Sleek Mystique Haute Iron Spray

Price:
INR 650 for 200 ml. I got it from Lakme salon when I went there for a haircut and saw this bottle in the shelf. As I needed one, I bought it without a second thought.

My Experience with TIGI Catwalk Sleek Mystique Haute Iron Spray:

As I have already mentioned, I have wavy hair which tends to be frizzy. I use this spray on my dry hair before using flat iron. It does control the frizz and also adds shine to my hair after it has been straightened. It has an amazing scent which I love. It smells like a perfume and the scent stays on for a few hours after the application. It says that it helps resist heat up to 450 degree Fahrenheit, and as it comes from a trusted hair care brand, I believe that it does protect my hair from heat.

As it contains rice bran oil, I assume it to work when I am going out in the sun to protect my hair from the harsh rays.

It has to be used very consciously as it can weigh your hair down. If applied a bit more than the required amount, it makes my hair look greasy and oily. I always make sure that I use it on my freshly washed hair as it can weigh my second or third day hair down and make me look like a greasy clown.

I do not blow dry my hair, but I did try this on damp hair on my friend (only for IMBB <3).  I used this on her damp hair and used a blow dryer. It did add shine to her hair. Hence, it has been proved that it can be used on dry as well as damp hair.

Overall, I am happy with this product. The only thing that I do not like about it is that it can make my hair look greasy if a little extra is applied. Otherwise, I bought it to protect my hair from heat and it functions pretty well in that aspect. Not disappointed!

  • It does add shine to the hair.
  • Does control frizz.
  • Helps resist heat up to 450 degree Fahrenheit.
  • Smells amazing and the smell does last for a few hours after the application.
  • It can be sprayed on to dry hair before ironing or damp hair before blow drying.

Cons of TIGI Catwalk Sleek Mystique Haute Iron Spray:

  • The nozzle is a bit inconsistent. It sprays out more product some times and less at other times even when the same pressure is applied. So, one has to be careful with that.
  • Availability. You can pick this up from Lakme salon or buy it online. If you find it somewhere else, do share it with fellow IMBBians 🙂

Would I Repurchase TIGI Catwalk Sleek Mystique Haute Iron Spray?
If I get a better heat protecting spray, I do not mind switching, but till then I would stick to this as it does what I bought it for.

Would I Recommend TIGI Catwalk Sleek Mystique Haute Iron Spray?
It is a good heat protection spray as it helps resist heat up to 450 degree Fahrenheit which is great and it also does what it claims, that is adding shine to the hair. I would recommend this if you are looking for heat protection and adding a little shine to your hair after ironing, but if you have thin hair, you might skip this one.
