An AHA that comes from citrus fruits. It is usually used as a helper ingredient to adjust the pH of the formula. Let me know if I should do a post on the mousses I’ve tried that haven’t worked for my hair. Or given me the results I was looking for, when compared to the Pantene Defined Curls Mousse, or even the Umberto Giannini Curl Whip Mousse!– don’t forget to use code CURLMAVEN for 20% off at LOOKFANTASTIC! So if it’s available where you are, I recommend switching to that. However, in conversations I’ve had with some of you recently. I’ve heard that the ingredients and formula of the Herbal Essence Totally Twisted Mousse has changed as well! Rooted in plant-science and powered by nature, our botanicals are identified by real scientists at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew – a leading expert on plants and fungi for 260 years. 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.

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. Normal (well kind of - it's purified and deionized) water. Usually the main solvent in cosmetic products. I’ve been using the Pantene Defined Curls No. 5 Mousse for almost 24 years! When people ask me if I could only use one styling product for the rest of my life, what would it be?The Shea Moisture hair mousse contains silk protein, shea butter, sweet hibiscus, and coconut oil to make an intense concoction of hair-loving nutrients. The Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab tests hair mousses both on consumer testers and in the Lab using technical protocols. Testers evaluate the mousses at home for their ease of use and performance, and in the Lab, scientists test them on human hair samples, with half a head styled with no product and the other half with the hair mousse to gauge its effects. 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. Enriched with magnesium and shine-boosting glossing agents, this mousse can instantly transform wilted waves and limp curls into voluminous hairstyles without making them stiff as gels do.

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.

She regularly tests and analyzes hair mousse on her own hair for efficacy, while working with the industry’s top hairstylists to assess new formulas and brands. Consistency– is the texture and consistency of the mousse the same? The biggest thing here is people (and brands) often call a foam a mousse. But they are two completely different products, formulas and consistencies! I don’t have to think about it, because for almost 20 years it was Pantene Defined Curls Mousse. That was it, that’s the only styling product I used for my curly hair! But has Pantene Defined Curls Mousse been discontinued?! 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.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. However, this Cake Mousse is now my #2 favorite – and for much different reasons than why I like the Curl Talk Mousse. It’s really nice to have really soft, natural feeling hair sometimes. 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.

Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Curl Boosting Hair Mousse

Herbal Essences Body Envy. I see the Herbal Essences Totally Twisted mousse recommended a lot, but after finding that it didn’t have enough hold for me, I decided to try this Body Envy line. It’s rated as having a 4 hold, while the totally twisted is rated 3. This mousse is the same price as the totally twisted, and is curly girl approved. Is awful on my hair! I am still trying all sorts of mouses and still can’t find one like Pantene no 5 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.Addam Artistis a hairstylist, colorist, and educator based out of Art and Autonomy Salon in New York, NY. He was the former artistic director for ISO Hair Products, a division of Joico/Shiseido Cosmetics . I would highly recommend Wella Deluxe Definition and Protection mousse. I have tried so many mousses and gels after Pantene discontinued their mousse and all of them have been unsuitable for my frizzy, unruly curls.
