Not Your Mothers Curl Talk Sculpting Gel 6 Ounce Frizz Control

Product Information

Unclip hair, rinse all of the conditioner out while my head is upside down, use wide tooth comb to align hairs, scrunch hair a few times to squeeze some water out. Then I would plop my hair with a hair towel for about 10-15 minutes, take the shirt off my head, microplop to get more water out and then add the mousse. I’d say my hair gets weighed down about “average” compared to others with wavy hair. I am not extremely easily weighed down, but it happens with oily products. My hair does not look or feel greasy particularly easily. My hair takes forever to dry, over 6 hours to air dry without any products in it!

The only downside of this product for me is it is not curly girl approved. It has two silicones. However, in my opinion they are more acceptable silicones than some others. One is dimethicone which is a water soluble silicone so it won’t build up as badly as some other silicones.Pantene pro-v curl mousse. This mousse has a consistency similar to shaving cream. It has a mild, sweet smell. I used 3 handfuls of this product which is less than I need of most mousses. I had to microplop a bit more than usual after applying the mousse, as my hair really fell a lot just from adding the mousse. Something I noticed about this product is it felt a bit heavy or product-y, despite not weighing me down. Also, the can for this mousse is a bit smaller than most others making it a slightly worse value. So while this is not a water-soluable silicone and will need a good cleanser to fully remove, it is going to help smooth damaged areas without causing as much build up as other silicones. However, my results when dry were not weighed down. I felt that this mousse controlled my frizz best out of the mousses that I tested. My volume and definition both started out well, but my one side fell flat pretty early on. It also felt a bit heavy or product-y. I suspect that if you used this mouse and didn’t microplop, it would be a good mousse for very low-frizz, really defined waves. Those aren’t my top hair goals, but if they are yours, I’d give this one a try. To try to ensure that my results weren’t based on my routine, I used the same hair routine as closely as possible each time I tested a mousse.

However, this Cake Mousse is now my #2 favorite – and for much different reasons than why I like the Curl Talk Mousse. It’s really nice to have really soft, natural feeling hair sometimes. This is the only part of this blog post that relies on gathering data from others vs my own testing. “Most popular” requires getting information from other people with wavy hair. So, I put out a poll asking people with wavy hair what their favorite mousse was. Based on these, my overall favorite is the Not Your Mother’s Curl Talk Mousse…which is what I started off with! It gives me big volume, good definition, a good hard cast, and long-lasting results while being curly girl approved. Garnier fructis curl construct. This is another shaving cream type mousse, but it’s quite airy once spread. It has a moderate citrus scent. I used my usual 4 palmfuls. It took quite a long time to dry. It didn’t give me a cast. It controlled my frizz well. My initial results looked okay, I thought. I had a bit less volume and definition than usual. Herbal Essences Body Envy. I see the Herbal Essences Totally Twisted mousse recommended a lot, but after finding that it didn’t have enough hold for me, I decided to try this Body Envy line. It’s rated as having a 4 hold, while the totally twisted is rated 3. This mousse is the same price as the totally twisted, and is curly girl approved.

Product overview

My next favorites are the Suave professionals captivating curls mousse and Aussie Instant Freeze mousse. Lower in this post I’ll discuss each mousse a bit individually so you can read why those were runner-ups for me. Best mousse for reducing frizz

I did two polls, I put one in the Wavy Girl Method Facebook group, and one in the /r/wavyhair subreddit. I asked people on reddit to not do the poll if they happened to also be in the Facebook group, to avoid the risk of repeated answers. Herbal Essences Totally Twisted. This is the mousse I see recommended to newbies most often. It has a shaving-cream like consistency, and I didn’t notice any scent at all. It dried a bit faster than some other mousses that I’ve tried. It only gave me a light cast, and did not have good frizz control, I had moderate frizz from day 1. If I didn’t get a cast the first time that I used the product, or didn’t get a cast over my whole head, I tested that mousse a second time and made adjustments to try to get better results. If I got results that felt like I used too much product, I would try again using less. So, some of these were tested multiple times but others worked well on the first try and then I only tested them once. I also took note of how long my hair took to dry when using these products, and whether or not they are curly girl approved products. Instead of just sharing my favorites, I took note of a variety of properties so that you can decide what might be best for you based on what you prefer in a mousse. Best Mousse For Wavy Hair Product The 2nd photo was the morning after washing (less than 24 hours) yet it had already dramatically lost its shape. It did have some waves to it, but the frizziness and general disheveled feeling made me not want to wear it even on day 2, making it the shortest lasting of the mousses I tried. I could really feel the product in my hair the whole time, too. This was my least-favorite mousse of them all, unfortunately.In terms of my style preferences, I prioritize volume over definition though definition matters to me as well. I am not someone who is too fixated on frizz. My main goals with mousse are hard hold, big volume, at least decent definition, and long-lasting results. Oh, and I prefer curly girl approved products but it’s not an absolute must. I tried using less than my normal amount at first, but I found that it works best when I use my typical amount (Which is 3 palmfuls now that my hair is shorter). This mousse really has changed my view on mousse a bit. I still really like the Not Your Mother’s Curl Talk Mousse because of how long it lasts. I don’t even remember why, but one day I decided to try mousse. I noticed that I had better root volume and my hair dried faster. I have very dense hair and was used to diffusing for over an hour. Cutting over 20 minutes off my diffusing time felt like a huge benefit. What I like best about this mousse is how it leaves my hair feeling product-free, yet it lends support and definition to my hair. It doesn’t do a great job of containing my frizz. It gives me a soft cast. I had seen many others online say a little gets a long way with this mousse.
