BUMBLE & BUMBLE - is it worth the money??
I usually buy hair products by Toni&Guy but am feeling for a change. I've heard a lot of talk about Bumble and Bumble, but their stuff is EXPENSIVE - shampoo and conditioners £12-15 each...hairspray £15 and up.
So for anyone that uses their stuff...are there benefits that you don't get from cheaper high end hair products? let me know x

Yes, they are wonderful healthy hair products. Makes hair shiny, manageable & healthy looking. I do however, alternate this with Alterna hair products which in my opinion are the best hair products ever.
B&B also makes smaller travel sizes, so you may want to buy those first to see if you like their products before you spend more on the full size.

I love the thickening line
the Shampoo,Conditionar and the Thickening Spray.
Nothing compares to the Thickening Spray. It is definantly worth the money.

Re: BUMBLE & BUMBLE - is it worth the money??
I love Creme de Coco shampoo and conditioner. My mum started using mine and her hairdresser even asked her what she was using as her hair was in such good condition. I have also recently been trying out their Gentle Shampoo and Super Rich conditioner - not sure about those yet, need a bit longer to decide if the conditioner is better than Creme de Coco or not! But overall I really like this brand although they are sooo expensive. I buy trial sizes from eBay before buying any full size ones just in case - try and find the 2oz sizes.

Re: BUMBLE & BUMBLE - is it worth the money??
I've been a Bumble gal for years and never a complaint. I've used the alojoba shampoo, gentle shampoo, both creme de coco shampoo and conditioner, their color support shampoo and conditioners for true reds, their styling lotion, and the spray de mode (BEST hairspray ever).
I switched from drugstore brands as soon as I heard about this line years ago and my hair has never been so healthy or looked so good. It is a bit pricey, but well worth it in my opinion. I do agree with a previous post that you may want to start with travel sizes first to see if you really like a product
Let us know what products you try and what you think

I worry too that I may get B&B bottles filled with something else...I'm positive that does happen on ebay  . There was a seller I bought genuine travel sizes from - it was beauty_usa - they have great feedback and were fast to ship

That's my favorite too - Creme de Coco shampoo & conditioner
I also use the deep conditioner.

i've heard great things about cibu aswell, but their stuff isn't available in the UK unfortunately - i like the packaging tho haha
my hair is healthy so hopefully the B&B wont have that same stringy effect, right?

Re: BUMBLE & BUMBLE - is it worth the money??
I've too have tried the Creme De Coco shampoo and conditioner and it was lovely! Definitely worth the money in my books, I don't use it anymore but that's solely because I've decided to move onto Tigi Bedhead. I could rave about that stuff all day long!

Re: BUMBLE & BUMBLE - is it worth the money??
I used to use Creme de Coco shampoo & conditioner however I now go with fredric fakkai and I am .. and my hair is looking better then ever, I will however say I own almost all of their sprays and never touch my surf spray.. styling wax or the pink or blue bottles of hair spray, however the new one that is out in the purple bottle is the love of my life with my hair dryer, I use that one and then blow dry, then use another one with my flat iron (different brand). a lot of their things are nice.. but thats all they are is nice, not great or totally worth the money quite a few of the products I returned and quite a few more I wish I didn't buy. however that is my two cents and I will use up the rest of my shampoo and conditioner up someday on my brushes but I don't plan on using them again - I tried it again the shower a few nights ago and re washed my hair cause it just didn't feel as nice as the fekkai makes it feel.

Re: BUMBLE & BUMBLE - is it worth the money??
Just wondering, for those with curly/frizzy hair, would I be better off using the Creme De Coco range or the actual medium-thick curly/wavy hair range? My hair lacks moisture and it gets damaged quite easily even if I use heat protectant when heat styling. I'm tossing up between those 2 ranges but I'm kinda interested in the Aloe Jojoba range aswell. On the B&B website, the product recommendations for curly/wavy hair don't include the Creme De Coco range, but include the other 2 I mentioned

Re: BUMBLE & BUMBLE - is it worth the money??
Love Bumble & Bumble. The creme de coco shamp & cond is awesome and smells so good. I highly recommend the styling products. I swear by the tonic lotion which has the best minty smell and helps detangle my hair and the curl conscious creme which helps with defrizzing and feels like you don't have anything in your hair. You could wash & go and not worry about being a big frizz tangly mess.
Like other said, you can get the travel size. This is how I first tried their products out. Now I only go to salons that use & sell Bumble & Bumble ever since.

Re: BUMBLE & BUMBLE - is it worth the money??
I loooove their products. Their styling cream and spray de mode are amazing. The spray de mode will give you a soft hold of your hairstyle but it's not crunchy feeling like other hair sprays.
I almost exclusively use their hair products now. It's not cheap but I just love the results.
