To define your curls and control frizz, apply the product to damp hair and comb through it to ensure it spreads evenly from root to tip. 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. Hiya, firstly wanted to say a big thanks to you for all your amazing posts – so detailed and useful for someone taking their first steps into the wavy world!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. And many of you are saying you’re not getting the same results. Please comment on the post and let me (and other readers) know if it’s still available where you are, or if you’ve noticed a change in formula.

Best Mousses for Curly Hair of 2022 - Top Curl Styling Foams

I absolutely love the creamy texture, which makes this mousse melt delicately onto my hair without any greasiness. It does feel like whipped cream! 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. Several-day reader, first time commenter here. Emily!!! Thank you so much for all of this information. I have loved reading up on your wavy takes on CGM, as I am about to start my own wavy girl journey. I’ve been gathering a ton of info and product recommendations from people like you and Alyson (real life+curly girl). I also noticed/read that you are also from Michigan! I grew up in Battle Creek, but now I’m in Seattle. I, too, love true crime and cults and all the weird shit (I’m a Karen if we are talking about MFM.)

What is the Best Hair Mousse for Wavy Hair?

An AHA that comes from citrus fruits. It is usually used as a helper ingredient to adjust the pH of the formula. If I didn’t get a cast the first time that I used the product, or didn’t get a cast over my whole head, I tested that mousse a second time and made adjustments to try to get better results. If I got results that felt like I used too much product, I would try again using less. So, some of these were tested multiple times but others worked well on the first try and then I only tested them once.

I would be interested to hear your thoughts on the Wella curl mousse (Professionals Care EIMI Nutricurls Boost Bounce Curl) please. My routine was to shampoo just my scalp, scrunch and pulse while shampoo is in my hair. Rinse. Add conditioner to the lower 3/4 of my strands, scrunch and pulse. Use a wide tooth comb to comb through my hair, then clip all of my hair on top of my head while I shave. 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. Garnier fructis curl construct. This is another shaving cream type mousse, but it’s quite airy once spread. It has a moderate citrus scent. I used my usual 4 palmfuls. It took quite a long time to dry. It didn’t give me a cast. It controlled my frizz well. My initial results looked okay, I thought. I had a bit less volume and definition than usual. So citric acid is an exfoliant, that can - just like other AHAs - gently lift off the dead skin cells of your skin and make it more smooth and fresh.I’m sorry it took me so long to get this post out amidst all the panic. Testing takes time, and I didn’t want to publish anything until I had an alternative mousse to recommend for you. I’m absolutely delighted that the one I found is affordable AND my 20% discount code CURLMAVEN works on it at LOOKFANTASTIC! 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. What I like best about this mousse is how it leaves my hair feeling product-free, yet it lends support and definition to my hair. It doesn’t do a great job of containing my frizz. It gives me a soft cast. I had seen many others online say a little gets a long way with this mousse.
