   The only thing I would change is the ability to order more than 3 at a time. Now I’m unable to find anywhere. It’s the best product for curly hair

   Amazing! Long (well past shoulders) curly (fully natural; no perms; no color) hair that I wash, style and diffuse on average twice a week (Mondays and Fridays unless I have plans that call for “fresh” tresses or the Thursday up-do in a clip just ain’t working!!). For years; my typical cocktail was L’Oreal Ever Curl Cream roots to ends (heavier on the back and ends) Suave pink can mousse (two to three handfuls heavier on the roots to crown) and CHI Magnified Volume hairspray all over (I prefer my hair crunchy and super high!) but I came across this in a magazine and figured I’d try it out. (Note: all products available on Amazon…YAY!!)

   First time using it I figured I’d stick 100% to my “normal” hair routine to see how using just this new mousse is and I was beyond impressed! I liked how this felt creamier and heavier than most other mousses (as a word of caution the lighter/air-er the mousse it usually means it has more alcohol in it which just dries hair out and makes it look frizzy). A total win and I’m officially a convert – snatched up two cases of it right away; couldn’t afford to have it be discontinued on me!!

   PS…In case you’re wondering; said routine is below; yes it’s lengthy (hair wash to dry and styled = approx 45 minutes) however it’s only being done 2 to 3 times per week…

   First…Wash; condition and squeeze excess water (roots to ends) out hair. DO NOT fluff, dry, flip or otherwise muss hair in anyway once conditioned! In my opinion curly hair behaves best the least you mess it up! If tangles and hair fall are an issue take a wet brush into the shower to work condition thru hair and comb out loose strands…rinse and condition again once tangle free. I also don’t think the shampoo and conditioner matter as much as the styling products…just stick with anything that is marketed for dry or damaged hair.

   Second…Apply (liberally) L’Oreal Cream to wet hair (all of it) focusing product on what would be the “ponytail” of hair (basically the parts of your hair that you’d clear a ponytail with; the back and ends); wet brush product thru right side up and upside down. Remain upside down and towel squeeze ends (w/cream in it).

   Third…Come right side up apply 1 to 2 handfuls of mousse (depending on length) to damp to wet hair (all of it), focusing product on the opposite parts of hair curl cream was focused on (basically the roots, sides and crown ) flip head upside down and apply 1 to 2 handfuls of mousse (depending on length) and finger comb to distribute products thru (just once when upside down) front, back and sides. Once finished applying product towel squeeze (upside down) as much of the hair as possible to remove excess water. DO NOT fluff or muss curls with towel instead move thru sections squeezing stopping and starting at each sections (don’t rough dry with a towel EVER)

   Fourth…IF YOU LIKE VOLUME and CRUNCH remain upside down and spray hairspray all over head focusing (when wet) on roots (for lift), sides (more lift 😀 ) hairspray; and ends (to retain the spirals or ringlets)

   Fifth…Diffuse hair upside down on hottest setting till 90% dry. Flip head up hairspray, hairspray, hairspray (again for volume and retaining definition and diffuse upside down on cool until 95% – 98% dry. Remain upside down; scrunch & break up curls from the scalp/root; more spray (if desired); remove diffuser and upside down on medium and cool setting until completely dry). Right side up you can blow hair around without diffuser to give it a more tousled effect but once dry refrain from touching or fussing with it as long as you want it to look nice.

   In case you’re wondering YES it is a lot of hairspray and product (I have long L O N G hair) and no it doesn’t flake up – you have to use good hairspray. If you have a problem with flaking little hit your roots with a fine mist water bottle (or instead of wearing perfume on your skin put it in your hair) and that’ll handle the visible ones. Any hairspray will flake up during movement in sleep or if you fuss with it but the steam from a shower will settle it.

   When I sleep I pull it all into a clip as high on my head as I can get/stand it and it usually lasts me (easily) three days but I often push it to four by rocking the ponytail on the third day and the pineapple top updo in a clip the 4th day. To shower I use a terry cloth lined shower cap and more often than not just the steam from the shower alone will reactive the products in your hair, reset your curls and keep them springy. When you go that long not touching, washing or brushing your hair you’re bound to have a ton of hair fall (average person looses 100 – 150 hairs per day) so don’t be alarmed when you’re pulling clumps of it out the shower…I recommend a hair guard screen (…also available on Amazon!) as well. I typically avoid dry shampoos (unless my scalp smells from workouts and only then I use as little as possible).

   Good luck and I hope that helps!!!

   Just saying my 3b hair looks great with this stuff. Somehow holds with give, not gross to touch, feels luxuriant. I have half a mind to hoard it in case they discontinue.

    I have been using Dove Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse for a few months now and it has turned out to be a great product. While initially I was wary from switching to brands from my former hair products (Toni and Guy Curlesque), being a college student I found out that this product was not only more economically friendly but had great results.

    The mousse is light on hair and yet keeps my hair (extremely curly and can get frizzy in the humidity) in check. It works throughout the day and keeps all strands defined and in place. Also, it is not harsh on hair and even after using it my hair still feels soft.

    Since I am in class all day, toward the end of the day if my hair started becoming windblown, I would just head to the restroom take a bit of water and re-straighten and voila hair is great to go.

    There are some advisements when using this product, do not over use or else your hair will become crunchy. Additionally, if you put too much mousse in your hair you will notice that if you run your hands through your hair they may feel sticky, which is just the extra mousse.

    The only this I dislike about mousse products in general, is that towards the end when the can is almost out it is difficult to get the last bit of product out.

    Other than that I would recommend this product to individuals with curly hair.
