Scent:
The scent is inspired by “By The Fireplace” which has hints of spice and wood and a smoky sweetness. I can smell it for around 2hr.
Scoop:
It’s a dense smooth scoop but it depends on how you scoop it. It’s easier to scoop it when I put my finger in for just the top layer and spin the jar with my other hand. If I scoop it how I normally do, I need to put some pressure to it.
Breakdown:
The easiest way is to breakdown the product is with one finger. This way I can feel the creaminess of it to start with and then I can feel the dryness and grittiness of the clays in it later. If I break it down with both palms, the dryness will hit me sooner.
Application:
I can definitely feel some grip from Terror Cat but it’s still easy to work with and I can even finger comb my hair. I can apply the cream on my hair throughly before I add too many scoops and it won’t end up too heavy for my hair like some clays do.
Hold:
It’s a solid firm hold when I use 6 dime size scoops and a medium firm hold with a softer feeling to my hair when I use 3 dime size scoops. It feels lightweight but secures in my hair without feeling waxy or hardening.
Shine:
I get more of a natural shine to start with then it slowly turns into a healthy matte finish throughout the day.
Texture:
The texture of Terror Cat is on the coarser side without being too dry thanks to the natural oils in it. It’s great for doing high textured styles.
Endurance:
It lasted me a whole day working. My hair didn’t move at all and the volume stayed high. I only got to restyle my hair after I got changed at home and messed up my hair a little. Surprisingly, it still has lots of power left and I can get all the volume back.
Wash Out:
Most of the product comes off with just warm water. One shampoo and conditioner will get rid of the clays in my hair.
Final Thoughts:
Terror Cat is a really well made styling cream. It can provide hold and texture like a clay but it’s more lightweight because it’s a cream. I can get decent volume and high texture from it that last me a whole day.
