It gives me big volume, good definition, a good hard cast, and long-lasting results while being curly girl approved. If you have fine or thin curls, live in an environment where your curls tend to go limp, or like the combination of a volume boost, shaping, and softening properties, curl mousses may be for you. Meanwhile, curl gels typically offer stronger definition and hold with less volume and conditioning and curl creams usually provide more hydration with less hold and fullness. 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.

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: Addam Artistis a hairstylist, colorist, and educator based out of Art and Autonomy Salon in New York, NY.

It wasn’t until Pantene discontinued the Perfect Curls Shampoo and Conditioner that I had to put more thought into what hair care products I used.

My main goals with mousse are hard hold, big volume, at least decent definition, and long-lasting results. Oh, and I prefer curly girl approved products but it’s not an absolute must.

So I thought, let’s test together!

Hair mousses work better to enhance hair texture and volume by keeping your tresses soft, flexible, and manageable. On the other hand, gels make your hair stiff while also contributing to flakes when they dry out.

My hair really fell apart fast with this mousse though, day 2 was significantly straighter and less defined than the first day. This mousse is not curly girl approved. I did notice that this seemed to help my hair clump well when wet. I had almost no wet frizz! If you don’t need long-lasting hold or hard hold, but are really concerned about frizz, this might be worth a try. It was a pretty bad match for my hair goals though, making it one of my least favorites. Mousse adds volume to your hair, creating fuller, more luscious curls. The aerated foam formulas create space between your strands, making your mane look even bigger.The only downside of this product for me is it is not curly girl approved. It has two silicones.
