LOVEEE this product.
Talk about a product that keeps your curls POPPIN all day. This right here is my holy grail hair product. It really helps activate your natural curl pattern and controls that frizz (along with just a LITTLE bit of the sculpting gel). After applying this product on my wash day i barely have to refres...

Love the product, hate the top
I love this product but the spray top breaks off every single time. It is terribly made. Please get a new spray top so I can use this again. I've given up due to the waste now.

Not sure if i got a bad batch but the product smells like straight up awful. The hold was barely existent too :(
I would not buy
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
This product the whole line actually is not for all curl types like they claim and the scent is terrible
Gross feel and no curl definition
I really wanted to like this product but after a few used, I still hate it. I didnt even use much at a time (because I thought maybe I used too much at first) but it leaves such a nasty feel regardless on the hair like sticky and caked on. It provides no curl definition at all and the crunchy wet look is not breakable. I tried to break it up by scrunching and then with a little hair oil but nothing helps. This mousse just sits on my hair and leaves it stiff, sticky, and dirty-looking until my next wash.
just ok
Ive noticed that after I use this it weighs my curls down and causes so much frizz. Im sure im using it right but everytime i give this product another try, it never works out.
Works!
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
This is my go to for my curly hair. Love it!
