Alberto VO5 Extreme Style Curvaceous Curls Styling Mousse

Average member rating of 7.0

Rated a 8.5
This hefty can of styling mousse reads like a wakeup call to those addicted to their flat irons: "Stop fighting your curl!" Packed with polymers to increase shine and make hair lie flat, a little of this light foamy agent goes far to scrunch into hair without leaving hands sticky or curls crunchy. Although thick hair might still see frizz and volume during high humidity, we love the light fragrance and cheapo price tag.

    All curls, no frizz

May 13, 2008, 8:16 pm My curly hair has been a bane in my life, no one ever seemed to be able to come up with products that would work, now there are a plethora of them, and I have tried many, this one is very economical, yet it makes my hair shiny, curls defined, but not stiff so that it feels like it will break off. I was surprised at the results, as it was so cheap, I always have to pay so much for all these frizz control products,I still change products after a few months to prevent build up. Great product!

    not my favorite

    by luckylectra (8 reviews)
    I have thinner naturally curly hair. I've never been too fond of hairspray or mousse, and this doesnt really change my mind either. (Maybe it's user error) but this tends to make my hair crunchy a MAJOR violation that I just won't tolorate in my hair. I've tried it with a blow dryer (it wasn't crunchy but I was not satisf... March 30, 2008, 12:01 pm I have thinner naturally curly hair. I've never been too fond of hairspray or mousse, and this doesnt really change my mind either. (Maybe it's user error) but this tends to make my hair crunchy a MAJOR violation that I just won't tolorate in my hair. I've tried it with a blow dryer (it wasn't crunchy but I was not satisfied with the amount of 'frizz control') and wont do it again. I've also tried it air-drying. The result was a little less frizz, but crunch. Overall, I have a mostly full can that I will never use, but don't have the heart to throw away because i work so hard for my money... and don't want to give it away because I think it sucks.

    Holds curl, but makes hair too curly for me

    by BunnyGirl (44 reviews)
    I have long, curly, not wavy, hair. I tend to like products that loosen the curly and create definition. This product certainly holds the curl and eliminates a lot of the frizz, but it tended to make my curls much tighter. While I like my curly locks, I don't want super tight curls, which this product tended to create. ... July 17, 2008, 7:14 pm I have long, curly, not wavy, hair.

While I like my curly locks, I don't want super tight curls, which this product tended to create. I prefer Aveda's Be Curly Curl Enhancer product to create definition and smoothness, with a a quarter sized amount of a gel to give it hold and shine and eliminate any remaining frizz.

    test

    by tuves39 (3 reviews)
    Although I do agree with users who say that this might smell too strong, but once you've rinsed it off, the fragrance is perfect! It smells different from when it's in the bottle than when it's lingering on your skin. It is hands-down my favorite Bath and Body Works. I have it stocked up for months in my bathroom!

    New and Improved!!

    by mvap47 (338 reviews)
    I started buying these products when they re-did the bottles. I was really glad i did. I was very pleased with how the product made my hair look and 'act'. Although the price is very reasonable, it did go up quite a bit from what it used to be. May 3, 2008, 9:06 am
