But to all those girls with curls, we have anti-frizz products for you. Curly and kinky hair textures tend to be naturally dry and crave moisture so counter the damage caused by the elements with regular deep hydration treatments. Transform hair from frizzy to fabulous (it suits you so much more) with Aussie’s Calm the Frizz range, which includes our 3 Minute Miracle edition. It deep-conditions your hair in just three minutes - or the length of one sing-like-you-mean-it karaoke shower song. If you’re someone who doesn’t need or want a hard hold but likes volume, and are okay with refreshing your hair a lot or washing frequently, this might be a good one to try. There are 2 common issues we face with wavy hair – frizz and making sure the curls last. The good news is, we know the solution to both – moisture. Moisture is crucial for waves that hold and don’t succumb to frizz. 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.

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 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. However, my results when dry were not weighed down. I felt that this mousse controlled my frizz best out of the mousses that I tested. My volume and definition both started out well, but my one side fell flat pretty early on. It also felt a bit heavy or product-y. I suspect that if you used this mouse and didn’t microplop, it would be a good mousse for very low-frizz, really defined waves. Those aren’t my top hair goals, but if they are yours, I’d give this one a try.

Based on these, my overall favorite is the Not Your Mother’s Curl Talk Mousse…which is what I started off with! It gives me big volume, good definition, a good hard cast, and long-lasting results while being curly girl approved. 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. Overall this is my favorite mousse because it gives me big volume, good definition, and it lets me hair look good the longest. 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.

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: My hair fell apart a lot in the first day, so I re-washed in 2 days instead of my usual 3. Overall, this mousse was not my favorite due to not controlling my frizz well enough, and due to not lasting long enough. I do prefer it a bit over the totally twisted mousse though. 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.Because this mousse offers so much of what I want in a product, and because the silicones are not the worst of the worst, I’ll be repurchasing this product. This is my second favorite mousse from the group I tested. Adam Federico is a hairstylist, the VP of technical development and education for R+Co, and the creative director for Federico Beauty Institute. He recently spoke to Cosmo regarding the best hairstyles for thin hair. 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. For medium curls (3b-3c), a more lightweight, medium-hold mousse is great for defining and separating your curls. This will reduce frizz sans the "crunch," while allowing your natural curl pattern to move freely.
