Styling method/notes: I haven't used a mousse in months, so I was a little nervous about trying this. But looking at the ingredients, I had pretty high hopes. Lots of things my hair likes - proteins, aloe, and jojoba oil specifically. When I try new things, I like to try them alone to see what they do without other products interacting with it. While the hold was a little too soft, I got nice volume and curl pattern/definition. I did have a little bit of frizz, but it wasn't terrible and my hair felt very light all day. It's been a few days so I'm a little foggy on exactly what I did to style my hair, but with mousse I generally apply it in sections - top, sides, back and then scrunch. Not all that different from how I use my gels and leave-ins. I probably used my Denman prior to scrunching to help detangle and distribute the product. And now for the photos!
