Trevor Sorbie curl cream devotees - help!

7 replies

CitrusSunshine · 24/07/2013 10:53

The only thing that gets my curly hair looking like I want it is Trevor Sorbie's ORIGINAL curl cream.

Apparently this has now been discontinued and replaced with something called Curls & Waves Firm Hold curl cream, however this new product has been out of stock on both Trevor Sorbie and Boots websites for a couple of weeks.

So....
Has anyone tried this new version and is it really the same as Original curl cream?
Any in stock, anywhere???
Have any other Original curl cream devotees found any other products that are actually as good/ same constitution as the TS Original cream?

Tried Boots pink cream based on web recommendations but doesn't have strong enough hold. Frizz Ease and Trevor Sorbie new Beautiful Curls too greasy.

Help!

No advice about the curls products, but just to say I posted here recently about Trevor sorbie Beautiful Brunette hair conditioner which was perfect for my hair, and also seems to have been discontinued. Can anyone suggest any alternatives which aren't too heavy and greasy? Trevor sorbie was just right- light, didn't make my hair feel limp, but did the job and left it soft and shiny.

SO frustrating when they discontinue really good products isn't it

My favourite ever curl cream was Trevor Sorbie's original curl cream from many years ago, which was a pale pink cream (not to be confused with the more recent cream with a large bright pink label).

The recent 'original' curl cream wasn't as good on my hair as the one that I used many years ago - I've never found anything that's as good. I make do with UG Curl Jelly and Boots Curl Creme; I've tried loads of curl products, including expensive ones but none of them work as well on my ringletty hair.

I wish they'd stop discontinuing things!

Do so agree-I have been using Trevor Sorbie Beautiful Volume thickening shampoo for years and now it's been replaced by a revamped 'Volume Shampoo' which is nowhere near as good as the original,in my opinion. I phoned the HQ on their website and made a complaint,but was told this new 'improved' shampoo had been rigorously product tested and was considered to be better. Well,I don't agree..If it ain't broke,don't fix it! As said above-SO frustrating when your favourite product is discontinued!

I am having the same hair dilemma. My curls are rubbish without Trevor sorbie curl cream.
Please if anyone finds any info on the new tame and define cream or a suitable alternative, let me know.
I have tried UG gel, no good.
And Lee Stafford curl cream....leaves hair very crispy.

I used origianl curl cream for 10+ years and was so annoyed when it was discontiued too. You can phone up trevor sorbie HO they have another curly product available but it's not the same and curls don't hold as well. Fb has a great forum called Curly Girls! Has nearly 100k followers, with products and ideas.

Trevor Sorbie has changed the name of this cream to Tame & Define Light Hold Curl Cream. You can purchase it from the Trevor Sorbie Website for £6.99 I just have.
