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.These days it isn’t easy to find a well-priced natural shampoo brand. More often than not, you’ll find yourself trying to figure out whether the product is really as natural as it says it is. Perhaps the marketing department has tried to curb another spinball. However, there is a brand that has been around for quite some time, that’s popular among both hair professionals and everyday users like myself. aussie sprunch mousse. I was excited to try this because it claimed to be a mousse and leave-in conditioner in one. I’ve struggled to find any leave in conditioners that don’t weigh me down, so I thought having a moisturizing mousse might be a great solution. This mousse is thin and light but not airy/spongy in texture making it somewhat unique texture wise. This mousse is basically a requirement for whenever your curls are feeling a bit meh. The lightweight, alcohol-free formula will give your hair the right amount of volume and shine without drying it out. Scrunch three pumps of the product through damp hair with your fingertips. The result? Defined, super-bouncy curls that still have definition. Its all-day-strong hold helps keep your hair in shape, retaining its body long after the sun goes down. 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 build even more volume. Make sure you take a moment to enjoy the fresh notes of citrus. Then discover how good it feels to use a volumizing mousse that's certified PETA Cruelty-Free, paraben-free, silicone-free, mineral-oil free, and color-safe. Even refreshing 2 days in a row with more mousse, my hair doesn’t feel “producty”. Prior to trying this mousse I had always strived for a mousse that would last without needing to refresh. This is one where I don’t mind using it to refresh. This mousse does have a strong scent (lemon) that I don’t care for but it fades after my hair dries.

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. Unclip hair, rinse all of the conditioner out while my head is upside down, use wide tooth comb to align hairs, scrunch hair a few times to squeeze some water out. Then I would plop my hair with a hair towel for about 10-15 minutes, take the shirt off my head, microplop to get more water out and then add the mousse.Something I noticed about this product is it felt a bit heavy or product-y, despite not weighing me down. Also, the can for this mousse is a bit smaller than most others making it a slightly worse value. This bb works on both wet and dry hair, and your curls come away looking and feeling so hydrated. (And it smells great, NBD.) According to reviewers, the hold is intensely impressive and still leaves curls looking bouncy.

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. 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.Clairol originally wanted to reach out to a younger, more natural audience or target market. They therefore created the Herbal Essences brand as a way of appealing to the younger generation. At the time that generation was all about being closer to and more in touch with nature. They favored raw, natural products over chemical-based substances and opted for products that were primarily based on natural ingredients. Clairol saw a gap in the market and managed to capitalize on the trend quite successfully.

The only downside of this product for me is it is not curly girl approved. It has two silicones. However, in my opinion they are more acceptable silicones than some others. One is dimethicone which is a water soluble silicone so it won’t build up as badly as some other silicones. This is a go-to brand for inexpensive, good-quality results with every wash. Because of this, Herbal Essences has attracted quite a strong following which only seems to have grown the brands’ popularity. Herbal Essences was originally founded in 1972 by the Clairol company. That’s enough time to become a household name in homes around the world. Due to the fact that the product line-up is largely inexpensive and otherwise quite effective, they’re trusted as a reliable brand.PAIR IT UP: Try with our Herbal Essences Jojoba Oil & Lavender Curls Collection for the complete experience Never crunchy or heavy, the Herbal Essences Volumizing Mousse provides any hair type with weightless volume.
