Editor Review

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

    by tizzylu54 (4 reviews)
    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 resu...lts, 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...ied 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.

    Odd texture but makes my curls look fantastic!

    by mzliz4816 (3 reviews)
    the first time i used this mousse, i thought the texture when it initially came out of the bottle was odd, but I decided to try it anyways and was surprised at how fantastic it made my curls look. When it first dried, they looked a little too shiny and limpish for my taste, but I scrunched my hair and shook it out and ende...d up with volumnous, unfrizzy, defined curls. I love this stuff, and you just can't really beat the price April 18, 2009, 8:11 am

    My curls look GREAT!!!

    by BlasianChick (8 reviews)
    I think I was using too much of the styling mousse at first. I changed my routine and I started to put it in my hair by sections. It worked great. My hair wasn't crunchy (like most mousse makes my hair feel), and there was no frizz. I did have to use another product to add shine though. I usually have to rinse my hair th...e next day and put more prodcut on it to make it look decent but the steam of my shower eliminated that step for me. It's a good price and I really like the product... just remember not to put too much. January 14, 2009, 7:08 pm

    Great Mousse

    by Star608 (68 reviews)
    Top 500 ReviewerTrusted Review
    I picked this mousse up at Rite AIde on day because they were out of my usual brand. I also chose it because it was on sale. I was glad after using it for a few weeks because it was a great product. Not only did it add a huge amount of spring to my curly but without giving me the straw hair syndrome, that mousse usually giv...es you. Ya know where your hair is all crunchy once it dries. I was used to it and had lived with the fact that for my hair to be curly and full of body that I would have to live with it. But this product showed me that I didn't. When I use VO5's Curvaceous curls mousse my hair is a lot softer and more bouncy than I have ever had it. I fell in love with this mousse right away and have been using it ever since. I really am glad Rite Aide was out of my usual brand that day. Because it led me to finding a super product!It keeps my hair full and curly all day without having to apply hair spray and scrunching 3 to 4 times a day. It's light and doesn't weigh my hair down keeping it free and full. I really recommend this product to anyone who ants to get more from there permed or natural curly hair. It's the best!
