If you put too much on you'll get a harder curl but once you run your fingers through it the curls will instantly soften. I will be ordering more!

- Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2023Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Style: MousseVerified PurchaseThe product is pretty good, I'm pretty inexperienced with hair products, but I think it was working pretty well to give some body to my thin and wavy hair. I also like the scent, a bright, fresh, peach scent. But my beef is with the bottle. First off, it leaked in the package, the packaging was a wet, sticky, mess. But it was still mostly full, lost maybe... 1/8 to the packaging? So I decided to use it for a bit to see if I wanted to return it or get it replaced (or just shrug it off). But every time it gets knocked over it leaks everywhere. 2 weeks in, having used it maybe a half dozen times, it's 3/4 gone just from getting knocked over on the bathroom counter. I'm tired of losing product and I'm tired of cleaning it up. Every time I go into the bathroom and smell peaches I groan knowing there's yet another puddle of mousse juice.

5.0 out of 5 stars 10/10!!
Size: 7.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Style: MousseVerified PurchaseI am super particular with the products I use in my hair and super particular in the texture it leaves. I’ve only used this product twice (this photo is of my day two hair, I was even more obsessed with my day one hair.. my curls were so big, soft, and bouncy)... and I can definitely say I will be buying this product again!!
For reference, I did diffuse my hair. I also tried it on my sister, who prefers to air dry her hair (she’s got 2b/2c curls)—it dried well and really defined her natural curl!
The scent of the product isn’t overwhelming, which is nice. At first I felt like it was going to leave my hair looking oily, but once it was totally dry my curls were just soft and bouncy. This mouse definitely tamed some of my frizz.. though I’m one of those weirdos that doesn’t mind a little frizz! Haha
Overall, excellent curly hair products and will be recommending to my curly hair friends!
