Product Information

I did two polls, I put one in the Wavy Girl Method Facebook group, and one in the /r/wavyhair subreddit. I asked people on reddit to not do the poll if they happened to also be in the Facebook group, to avoid the risk of repeated answers. Unclip hair, rinse all of the conditioner out while my head is upside down, use wide tooth comb to align hairs, scrunch hair a few times to squeeze some water out. Then I would plop my hair with a hair towel for about 10-15 minutes, take the shirt off my head, microplop to get more water out and then add the mousse.

Essences of life Argan Oil shampoo & hair conditioner collection helps repair damaged hair to smoothness and makes it naturally shiny. So while this is not a water-soluable silicone and will need a good cleanser to fully remove, it is going to help smooth damaged areas without causing as much build up as other silicones. I tried using less than my normal amount at first, but I found that it works best when I use my typical amount (Which is 3 palmfuls now that my hair is shorter). This mousse really has changed my view on mousse a bit. I still really like the Not Your Mother’s Curl Talk Mousse because of how long it lasts.

Best Mousse For Wavy Hair

Something I noticed about this product is it felt a bit heavy or product-y, despite not weighing me down. Also, the can for this mousse is a bit smaller than most others making it a slightly worse value. I spent the first two years of the curly girl method using gel. The first gel I ever tried was LA Looks gel. It worked well and it’s super affordable. I just didn’t see a reason to try anything else for quite a while. Mousse is the holy grail for curls. Forget the drying and crunchy formulas of yesteryear, a well-formulated mousse will give you the smooth, soft, defined, and full curls of your dreams.

I wonder if this works better on other hair types. Perhaps for those who don’t need a hard hold it works better, or for those who are prone to stringy hair? But, if it is recommended due to the low price, I’d recommend trying Aussie instant freeze mousse as it performed much better and for only about .60 more than this costs. Below you’ll see that I also had better results from another Herbel Essences mousse that is the exact same price at my store. If you have fine curls that seem to get weighed down no matter what, try this lightweight mousse that defines and volumizes your spirals, no heaviness included (proof: Cosmo’s former deputy beauty director, Chloe Metzger, has used this mousse since high school for her flat curls). Just rake two golf-ball-size puffs through your damp hair, scrunching to distribute.

I did NO refreshing at all. Typically I would refresh when I start to lose definition. However, I specifically wanted to test how long these would all last without needing to refresh because I find it’s far easier to just get good hold from your wash day products vs having to refresh every single day. Also, it seems to be easier to get good refresh results if the hair is still in decent shape before refreshing. Marketing does not do a very good job of letting you know what you’ll really get from a mousse, in my opinion. For example “level 3 hold” doesn’t mean much if you have never used that brand before. I thought a detailed mousse comparison could be really helpful. Hair mousse may be most well-known for its volumizing benefits, but it's also a star curl styler. Mousses for curly hair increase fullness by creating space between strands with their aerated foam formulas, enhance the shape of spirals with plumping ingredients like polymers, and can provide conditioning benefits via boosters like silicones and botanical oils. And experts agree that mousse is one of the best products for naturally curly hair, to enhance the bounce and shape of fine or thin curls, or to help hold curls in straight hair.Let loose for beachy style, touchable, frizz-free waves with Clairol Herbal Essences Tousling Mousse Tousle Me Softly Level 2 Hold with hibiscus essences.

Thanks so much for the kind words! I hope that the notes you’ve taken help you a lot with your wavy hair journey. I listened to real life + curly girl a lot when I was brand new to CGM! I found that some things that work for her work for me as well, and others don’t, but that is true with most everyone. We all have slightly different hair so what works for me may not work for you all the time. Still, I hope it’s able to give people a good jumping off point at least! Alyson’s hair is a lot lower density than mine which I think is a main reason why her hair reacts differently to some things than mine does as mine is quite dense. The 2nd photo was the morning after washing (less than 24 hours) yet it had already dramatically lost its shape. It did have some waves to it, but the frizziness and general disheveled feeling made me not want to wear it even on day 2, making it the shortest lasting of the mousses I tried. I could really feel the product in my hair the whole time, too. This was my least-favorite mousse of them all, unfortunately.

This is the only part of this blog post that relies on gathering data from others vs my own testing. “Most popular” requires getting information from other people with wavy hair. So, I put out a poll asking people with wavy hair what their favorite mousse was. aussie sprunch mousse. I was excited to try this because it claimed to be a mousse and leave-in conditioner in one. I’ve struggled to find any leave in conditioners that don’t weigh me down, so I thought having a moisturizing mousse might be a great solution. This mousse is thin and light but not airy/spongy in texture making it somewhat unique texture wise.
