I bought the trial size and I must say, I fell in love with it. While it can get slightly sticky at times, there's never a coating. Only a little is needed to achieve big hair that you can work with. A definite repurchase.
The Mousse thickens my hair texture like I want, making it easier to hold a style.
I love having a clean mouse, it does give volume and hold. I can use on damp hair and it toussels nicely if I scrunch it up a bit. I have stick straight hair so it holds well. I've used on dry hair too to get a little bed hair look and it does nicely. Only thing I don't like is that it can get crunchy. Trying different amounts and methods to see if I can avoid but so far I get areas of major crunch and the next day it has to be washed or it feels sticky to me. Very light smell which is great. I am a fan so far.
I was skeptical about the efficacy of a non-chemically derived product. (Pause for small dance move...). This one works BETTER. It is low-scent, non-sticky and dispenses like any other. Provides really good control for my heavy, wavy hair. I would highly recommend.
This is a wonderful mousse. It reminds me of the old school mousse I used to use from the 80's except that this one is natural. It provides plenty of Shapiros and body for my fine hair without making it crunchy or weighed down. My hair retains its shape and volume for great second day hair. This is my new favorite styling product!
