Mousse users - curly girls - how do you select a mousse?

[naturalmanenyc]

I am researching a mousse to try and there are just so many types? Ultra hold, light, weightless, etc. What does it all mean?

I want to use the mousse for a wash & go if that makes a difference. I am not looking for a gel-like mousse since I've already done a gel WNG.

Any opinions on a good mousse to try for WNG styles?

The best mouse I ever had was Aussies Mousse plus leave in. I would still used my own leave in but I put this over the ends of my hair. My hair ALWAYS felt like butter but with no frizz. It held the curls but didn't make them crunchy. They discontinued it

So now I am using Salon Grafix and Silk Element Curl Defining. They are okay. Depending on how much I use there may be a little crunch but not too much.

I cosign with Filmatic. Try to look for a moisturizing mousse. Almost all mousses have alcohol in them which can be drying to the hair (and we don't want that). I gave up on mousse because of that.

What is your hair type? Mahogany Curls on YT uses the purple Herbal Essence mouse on her hair.

I Dove Body & Lift Mousse for my twistouts. Makes them defined but soft and never dries my hair out. Plus the smell is heavenly

Oh yea I think she is a type 3 so......sorry couldn't be more help I don't use mousse I prefer gels.

Gel seems to leave my thin hair a bit flat. I want to try mousse for some volume. I picked up Herbal Essences totally twisted mousse tonight, after pulling up Mahogany Curls youtube site in the store. lol

I will give it a try by the end of the week.

Be sure to give a review on it, please?

Hey,

I went through the same thing last week after watching a sister with 4b thin hair suggest Mizani Wrapping foam. I purchased on Thur, 1 Apr and it did the smoothing I needed. It was $16 bucks at ULTA Beauty Store. It didn't leave my hair crunchy.
