Looking for a mousse

[Killah Kitty]

Ive been on the look out for a mousse that will do what I need but so far no luck, maybe I am asking for too much?

I have long curly hair, the weight tends to drag down and flatten my roots, sometimes when I blowdry with a diffuser upside down this helps fluff the roots back up, but it works alot better if I use a mousse. But all the ones Ive used dont last and give me frizz...

Does anyone know of a mousse that will give good volume with a nice lasting hold, and if it helped control frizz thats a bonus. Open to all suggestions so far Ive only tried a couple L'oreal ones and not happy with them.

Thanks for any help

I just bought two new mousses-- one from Ulta and one from Wal-Mart. It's actually a

"moussing wax". Here's the link:

Graham Webb: News

And the Wal-Mart one was from Pantene:

Texturize! Moussing Foam Wax

I used the Graham Webb on Friday and I like it. I plan on trying the Pantene tomorrow. In addition, after drying, I use these two:

Texturize! Texture and Shine Defining Pomade - Texture and Shine Defining Pomade

and finish with this:

Texturize! Ultimate Texture Hairspray Ultra Hold, Aerosol Ultimate Texture Hairspray

I normally NEVER use Pantene because it absolutely WRECKS my hair-- drys it out terribly and it tangles. So, I was surprised how much I love the two Pantene products I currently use. Anxious to try the moussing wax by Pantene tomorrow.

I have naturally curly, short, stacked in the back color-treated hair. I just got my haircut a couple of weeks ago and it's my fave cut of my life! The color I put on my hair, however, could use some work : / Normally I use henna but I found a new Excellence color I thought might look good-- eeek! I am contemplating getting some of that hair mistake color lifter (new product and no idea what it's called-- I read about it somewhere) and starting all over. EDIT: I found the product: Developlus - Color Oops Color Oops! I am going to get some tomorrow if Walgreens has it in stock!

Hope this helps!

Warmly,

beaglette

I really like the mousse from pantene, the one for curly hair. It has decent hold, but never makes my hair crunchy (hate that). I have armpit lenth 3b/c curls that are color treated....HTH's

I use a Paul Mitchell mousse that has conditioners in it. Have you tried a root lift? It's similar to a mousse, but as your spraying it seems like an aerosol and then turns into a light foam. It's designed to give volume. It doesn't make my hair frizzy. Try one for dry hair.

Oh and there's a line at Sally's called "Noodle Head" IMO works really really awesome on curly hair.

Try Big Sexy Hair, they have mousse just for volume

Wow thanks for the extremely helpful replies everyone

!!!!

Thanks for all the help and I will be on the lookout for the products you girls mentioned.

Kaylin_marie the root lift product sounds really interesting, Ive never used anything like that but it sounds like something I should look into. Do you know of a good one?

Beaglette your post was really informative too. Mousse wax sounds interesting, probably would have a texture I like. Do let me know how you like the Pantene Texturizing Mousse.

Thanks for all the replies so far everyone, its really helped!!

I use Matrix Amplify

But I sell a lot of the one made by ION and "Power lift" by beyond the zone, you can find those 2 at Sally. They're really popular, I haven't tried them yet though!! They also have a generic version of the Matrix kind.

 

[irismadeline]

I use Dove mousse, light & full...

it's really good and doesn't leave my hair feeling crunchy

 

[kaylin_marie]

Oh I forgot about TIGI catwalk, just saw it in my bathroom and remembered it, I like that one too.

 

[Mikitapatel]

I use the Paul Mitchell mousse too, with the conditioners in it. I have curly hair that tends to frizz fast, and this mousse keeps it in control. Plus I love how soft it makes my hair, and the great coco-nutty smell it has!

 

[magosienne]

i liked the mousse from pantene, but do not use too much, it was building up on my roots after a while >.<

 

[Killah Kitty]

Sounds good everyone thank you!! I think I will be stopping by the store tomorrow and will pick something out. Im going to check out all the brands & products you girls mentioned

I'd try Taft by Schwartzkopf, they have a big range of long-lasting and powerful products. Tried Lóreal but I always come out disappointed. Good luck!

Nick Chavez has a mousse that gets your hair so volumized, while still soft and moisturized, I think it's called caviar mousse. He was advertising it on QVC with demonstations, and he made me want to buy it.

 

[Bexy]

When I wear my hair curly, I use a product from Redken called "guts". It is a mousse consistency, but it sprays out like a hair spray like snow. I love it. Nice hair and no crunch.

I really like Marc Anthony curl mousse.

and also try curl keeper, it's a gel .......but go look at Curly Hair, Curly Hair Products - Curly Hair Solutionsâ„¢

I get this stuff for Justine.....she really likes it!

 

[nursie]

i use the Paul Mitchell moisturizing mousse too, definately love the smell

(Sally's has a generic version of it, it really smells and works exactly the same)

 

[chellyfish]

i have suave extra hold mousse

i like it

 

[love heals]

I love Paul Mitchell's Mousse. It's the best I've ever used.

 

[VeganChick]

I have two products by Tresemme: Big Boost weightless lift root spray and Weightless Body extra hold mousse with 24-hr climate control/humidity resistance. Love them both and they're less than $4 each!

(It should be noted that I have fairly straight, fine hair. But I think they'd work well for most people?)
