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. If you're not sure where to start, here are a few tips from hairstylist Addam Artist to help you find the best mousse for your hair type: It gives you a maximum hold with zero crunch. It reduces frizz by protecting your curls from humidity (for 24 whole hours!), leaving those curls looking well-defined and invincible. Plus, it’s a major time saver. Shake it, foam it, and work it through wet hair, then air dry. If you’ve got the time, diffuse on low heat to really bring out the spring in your curls. Make sure you take a moment to enjoy the fragrant notes of fresh berries. Then discover how good it feels to use a curl boosting mousse that's certified PETA Cruelty-Free, paraben-free, dye-free, and color-safe. I get it: Those tiny, wispy hairs that won't. lie. down. can be annoying as hell to deal with. Your savior? This mousse, which contains a pro-keratin complex that helps smooth the surface of your hair to minimize unwanted flyaways and frizz during the day.

You’re right, it would be a good category to include in the chart! I need my boyfriends help to edit the hTML for the table so I cant’ do that right now but for your reference, the following brands are cruelty free: Aussie, Suave, Herbal Essences, Not Your Mother’s, Cake beauty, and Garnier. So the only brands in this post that aren’t cruelty free are Pantene (they don’t test on animals but aren’t considered cruelty free), and OGX.

Overall this is my favorite mousse because it gives me big volume, good definition, and it lets me hair look good the longest. I don’t even remember why, but one day I decided to try mousse. I noticed that I had better root volume and my hair dried faster. I have very dense hair and was used to diffusing for over an hour. Cutting over 20 minutes off my diffusing time felt like a huge benefit.

Never crunchy or heavy, the Herbal Essences Volumizing Mousse provides any hair type with weightless volume. To try to ensure that my results weren’t based on my routine, I used the same hair routine as closely as possible each time I tested a mousse. 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. Overall, I didn’t find this to be a very good performing mousse for me. 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.
