I absolutely love "after party creme," I have fine straight hair that I highlight--or color somehow--about every 6-8 weeks. I found the creme had a pleasant fragrance and didn't weigh my hair down, I also really, really liked how soft it left my hair. I used the Dumb Blonde line for a bit--before I converted to Kerastase--but occasionally use the conditioner from the line bc I like the fragrance. As far as how well I thought the conditioner did "conditioning" I wasn't overly impressed, but don't think it was terrible. I have also used "Small Talk" which according to TIGI is a "thickifier, energizer, stylizer" and I like that too. I found it to be a little too sticky if you use too much and the smell can be a bit candy like, but if you use a little bit I have been able to get great volume, which is no small feat considering my hair. Finally I also have used and love "Headrush" it's a shine spray that also has a nice fragrance and doesn't weigh hair down. (Side note-- ULTA tends to have really good deals on the products.) I guess all in all the after party creme and headrush are my favorite TIGI products. Sorry for the rambling, hope this helps.
