SheaMoistureCurl Mousse Coconut and Hibiscus for Frizz Control Styling Mousse with Shea Butter 7.5 oz

I'm not sure what "sheerness" or "thickness" have to do with a hair product, especially this one lol, buttt... This product is a liquid, and comes out as a simple foam mousse through the pump. I have used this for years, and it works fairly well to keep my crazy curls maintained and in tact. It smells like coconuts and fresh fruity something, like when you walk into a Bath and Body Works, only not overpowering. I have always gotten complimented over the years on how I smell "like a fruit bowl" or "coconuts" when I'd completely forgotten to put on deodorant or used perfume or scented lotion in those crazy high school mornings LOL hopefully you get it: IT'S THIS STUFF, IT SMELLS JUST THAT FAB! I don't have a specific hair type sadly, I've got a little of everything, it's wavy, curly, and coily in different spots, and this stuff helps with ALL those types all over. It also helps lock in moisture too, and makes it feel hydrated, soft, and smooth, and helps keep the frizzies at bay. I would totally recommend for anyone who has CURLS or coils or a mix of both, sorry but wavy hair doesn't need much hold so I wouldn't recommend because I don't see how it could benefit. I suppose this could help with frizz control for wavy hair, but curls and such, definitely a must to try out, I would highly recommend, it has never disappointed. It also doesn't leave much of a sticky or greasy feeling. Just be sure to apply after spraying your hair with water or when it's slightly damp after washing, or you might think you need more product and put too much in(then it will feel sticky). Remember: a little goes a long way! Give this stuff a whirl for your curls, you'll be dreaming of white sandy beaches and baby crabs and coconut drinks and palm trees swaying in that salty breeze :)

Review written in 2 parts: “prelude” describes my hair’s background for those who relate, “actual review” talks about my experience with the product.Prelude:Ok, this is my second ever attempt with mousse so grain of salt for the super-experienced, but this is amazing.I was never taught how to manage my curls. Grew up with it a la Hermione until I got my hands on my first hair straightener and that was it. I’ve put it up, straightened it and chemically straightened to help me out my whole life because it was just easier. I’m in my 30’s.I have zero clue what my curl pattern actually is. I’d never even heard the term until maybe 2 years ago. About half of my length is still “permanently straightened” with a Japanese hair perm, which on my hair = moderately tamed.All this to say, I have no idea what I’m doing and while I keep up with trims and use heat protectants, my hair is *pretty damaged* with a messed up curl pattern.Then TikTok started showing my curly hair stuff, particularly black hair TikTok, which is much closer to my hair texture and experience than anything else.My only other mousse experience was an absolute desperation buy trying to get my hair to relax while on a vacation much more humid than I’d bargained for. Sticky disgusting, crunchy and with impossible frizz.So after a crazy amount of time watching TikTok’s about course curly hair, I power-bought a bunch of the top recommended products, this being one of them. Giant leap of faith for a forever straightener.But my hairs about half way down my back now, keeping it up in the summer humidity is starting to give me headaches and if anything at all wound up just helping, I’d take it.Actual review:I tried this brand first of the 2 mousses I bought to try out because I’m familiar with the brand through their oils, scrubs and soaps, which I really love. I figured if there was a safe bet, it was this one.I over-researched the best ways to prep the hair and put it in, but it turns out I hardly had to bother. This is the easiest apply and go catch all of all time.You don’t need your hair sopping wet, you don’t have to section it, it doesn’t require anything before and you can brush it out.No stickiness, no crunch, no heaviness, no residue-feel and somehow, miraculously, no frizz. I could just strangle John Frieda.My first try with it I did all the things: applied it to super-wet detangled hair, scrunched it, did the plop method, diffused it and babied the life out of it. Came out great other than the dreaded triangle of my hair shape was obvious since I’ve been a straight cut girl forever.But even my super-abused curls came out. Could even immediately tell where the Japanese permanent straightening line sat. The curl sections just found themselves and I didn’t have to finger roll or anything. It survived through sleep. It looks so much prettier than I ever hoped. Soft and shiny.Clearly, this works. Like actually works. Without exaggeration, no hair product has ever immediately inspired this level of trust for me. I just kept staring at it because I couldn’t believe it. I’ve tried everything and can’t believe it was this simple the whole time. Ugh.I know my hair scares the life out of salons and they can’t be trusted to not give me a mullet when thinning, so I decided to give myself one now that I saw where the triangle shape of my hair sat without the frizz blur.Just whipped out my razor comb that I use for split ends and took out about half of my hair from the mid-length down. Super flipping soft and shiny after that, omg. And so much lighter.If you need a photo to visualize: look up Erika Badu. That’s my hair’s un-thinned natural volume size, just of a looser texture.Washed my hair and knowing how well this stuff worked, I dispensed with all the back breaking labor. Just used it like a detangler: put my hair up in a towel to get it to just damp, put the product in, brushed it through, put it up in a hair towel for about an hour, then let it out to air-dry.I can’t believe how good it looks and feels. Actually unreal. I even straightened my hair with it in and that’s by far the shiniest finish of my life. Like hair-commercial shiny.If you want something good enough to inspire a drastic haircut and become insta-loyal, this is the one. This is THE perfect product. I’m about to legit throw out a crazy amount of product that this instantly replaces.For my forever-straight girls out there that just need a freaking break, give it a shot. I know my hair isn’t your hair, but good god, if this works on my hair, $7 is worth the gamble.

Really good mousse but the formula got changed a while ago and it’s no longer the same, I can tell by the hair results. However it is still really good for light weight hair to add volume! I still love this mousse and so does my hair even if the definition isn’t quite as strong as it use to be.

It is great for curly, grey hair and that's why I bought it. I like how it isn't sticky, heavy or crunchy, it gives my hair the slight taming it needs and allows it to live its best life. I would recommend it to others.

If you want somthing that’s going to hold ur curls firmly, this isn’t it. I like using it when I don’t want to put too much products in my hair becuase it’s very lightweight. When I want my curls to lasttttt I’ll use curl smith gel. But the product itself isn’t bad, a lot of the time I prefer it over gel. There’s no scent to it (not that I’ve noticed).

It leaves literally no residue- it dries like water in my hands. Yet it does a wonderful job with the hair. Smells so good! Highly recommend

I love this product! I have used it for several years and Amazon has it at a great price. I have loose, curly hair that this product works great on. I apply it when my hair is damp after washing. It sets my curls to last all day. I love the fact that it is not sticky and is easy to apply. It has a pleasing smell but not over powering - very subtle. The pump allows me to get all the product out when it gets low so there is no waste. I highly recommend.

I love this mousse. It’s not heavy and it enhances my curls really nicely. The issue I’m having is with the bottle. It barely foamed the liquid to begin with, and dripped all over the place, but not even halfway through the bottle it stops foaming entirely. I can’t use it because I can’t evenly distribute it through my hair. Here’s the deal though, it’s not just my bottle. My sister has this too and it’s super drippy. But at least it works the way it’s supposed to. Mine is unusable and I’m disappointed because I sought out this specific product and was enjoying it despite how messy it was to apply.
