Everytime I get excited about a cheap product, getting great reviews, "maybe this is my HG...and it's cheap!"...I am let down. I have very, very fine wavy/curly hair cut into a jaw length inverted bob. I wanted to love this so much. But it left me with stringy curls...I hate stringy curls. My favorite curl products produce a chunkier, fuller curl. This gave me ok definition but my hair (being so fine) looked awful. I had these skinny little wave/curls. It just made my hair look like I was un cared for...not like I had full lush well taken care of hair. It's hard to explain...but the fine curlies out there understand. If each individual curl gets defines, it can look 80's almost...but a product that chunks them a bit and gives a Botticelli curl...that looks awesome. The Captivating Curls leans more 80's for me. I think this would work much better on someone with really thick hair.

I wanted to like this stuff. I actually went to 3 stores looking for it after reading the reviews. I've only tried it once and it is very cheap so I bumped it up to two stars instead of one but ew, my hair was gross with this stuff in it. Not soft like I hoped, but I could've handled a little crunch. But it was sticky, very sticky. I used the recommended amount but my hair is rather thin and only wavy so maybe this had something to do with it? Anyway, I don't mind too much that I bought it because it was really cheap but it's definitely not for me!

Better than the most expensive mousses that are on the market. I've tried everything from White rain to Nexus to Paul Mitchell! And let me say this is the best. When I first bought it I though huh this is odd consistency but when I put it on my hair I noticed how my hair looked so much more hydrated and lushus! I was in so much shock. Once it is dried and I add hair spray it looks fabulous! Like another review said, It definitely makes letting your natural hair shine and look radiant. And it give me and my hair a break from the straightening process.... Dryer, anti-frizz creams and straighteners (ughh)
I have black wavy hair

I am a believer! I have s'wavy hair that I am letting go natural... got sick of the blow dryer and round brush and heavy anti-frizz creams. Anyway this stuff is awesome. It gives my waves awesome definition and bounce, although my waves are still very loose. I wouldn't say it adds more curl, but it definitely accentuates and improves what you have. It also fights frizz without crunch if you apply according to the directions. I do many of the "Curly Girl" methods for wavy hair (no combing except in shower, scrunch a lot), although I do shampoo daily - with Giovanni shampoos usually. This is an excellent part of my new wavy hair routine!

Wonderful for curly hair! You only need a golf ball size dollup for your entire head. Super cheap. No crunch. No fragrance to give you a headache. I'll buy this over and over - hope they don't discontinue it! Love!!! :)

This mousse is the best for curly hair, I've been using it for years now and its beyond great. The price is between 2 to 3 dollars depending on where you live, when it goes on sale, stock up on it. It is so conditioning, I've tried lots of different brands, by far this is the BEST!!! Hope this helps you.

I was super impressed with this mousse!! Not only is it crazy afordable I loved how my hair looked in the end, it was soft and curly, no frizz and no crunch! I would buy this again and again!

I have pin straight hair.
It absolutely refuses to curl.
Ever. No amount of hairspray, rollers, etc will ever tame it for more than an hour.
Until this came along. My hair actually held waves when I exited the shower.

The key is to apply it to soaking wet hair. That means right after you turn the shower off, you start applying it. Not 5 minutes later, 20 minutes later, or an hour later. Right there if you want to have any shot.
I have yet to let my hair airdry without putting it up or diffuse it with my hot mitt (but I will update).
But what I can say is that when I put this in and put my rollers in the same night, my hair will hold the curl longer. That is a miracle in it's own right.
Believe the hype!

This stuff is FANTASTIC!!! I used to be a firm Tigi gal for years, but true to the commercials, when I was on a budget, I tried it. Never went back! Like any mousse, you have to know how to use it, and be sure to follow the instructions on the can. (yes, there are instructions, and Suave has a little twist on the application of the produce that causes it to work better!) If you are into smells, it smells fresh, I got 2 compliments on how my hair smells (weird enough, but I'll take the compliment). It's great!!

?????????????? Really ?????????? Wow, how can I be the only one who this didn't work for. This did absolutely nothing to enhance my natural wave pattern, nothing! :( With these awesome reviews I couldn't wait to pick this up and I already used it a few times. I followed the directions to a tee and I noticed maybe a little extra body in my hair but absolutely no enhancement of my waves. Oh well, at least this was cheap! Adding to my swap list if anyone is interested.

I can't believe the money I've wasted on those beachy hair sprays when I could have had this for a little over $2. My hair is pretty straight but sometimes I've been able to coax a little wave out of it. Now I can get that beachy-like hair with scrunching and a diffuser like I used to get with John Frieda's Ocean Spray. Even my daughter's stick straight hair will get a little wave with this stuff and it really gives great curl to my other daughters naturally wavy hair. For us, it's truly a multipurpose hair product. Now, the can says to use 2 golf ball sizes for shoulder length hair. I have just past my shoulder, fine blonde hair and I use a little less than a golf balls size which is plenty. It makes my hair full, bouncy, and wavy. After buying all those expensive products, I'm stuck with this from now on.

Oh, and I still use this if I wear it straight. It gives good control and I don't need to purchase multiple products. continued >>

I LOVE this mousse. Usually, I shy away from them, because I hate the hard and crunchy feel, but this one...this one's different. It has a super thick texture, and controls my curls without making them the least bit hard. It's so cheap too! It truly is a drugstore gem. I think I found my HG mousse (:

Loved it when I first started using it, but as I used more of the can up I noticed more of a slimy feel to my hair, no matter how little product I tried to use. My hair was also more difficult to wash and took longer to dry.

Update 2/11/12 OMG I love this stuff!!!! I can even reapply this (directions say to squeeze product into hair) to dry hair and the results are soooo pretty.
I've been using this since it first came out and ooooooh how I love it! This mousse feels so delicious when applying to the hair! My waves/curls dry so softly yet with just the prettiest curl pattern! It's so difficult to not touch my hair - the results are so wonderful, the way I'd always wanted it to look and feel. My hair at the top of my head from the hairline to the crown has the least curl and after looking for a few months I finally found Suave's new "Captivating Curls Spray Gel"! Perfect for coaxing long-lasting waves/curls on my crown. I don't always wear my hair natural (wavy/curly) but with these products I find myself styling my hair less and less! And I receive great compliments when I leave it curly - totally attributed to these Suave products!

This is a relatively unique product in that the consistency of the mousse itself is very rich and creamy, much like whipped cream! It isn't as light and foamy as regular mousse, and actually dispenses out of the bottle with a pretty design, so obviously this made the product initially appealing. This product also felt like it kept my hair pretty moist and conditioned for a mousse, and definitely defined curls all around. I would probably buy this again just because of all the aesthetic appeal of this formula, and also because it has superb curl defining qualities.

First, I have to say that I generally haven't used mousse in YEARS because it always made my hair a frizzy, dry mess. For some reason, I decided I should give mousse another shot. I picked this up because it was cheap and I figured if my hair was a dried out mess after using it, at least I wasn't out of a ton of money.
Imagine my surprise when I discovered how well this actually works! I have wavy hair, and I needed something to help with the growing out phase after a bad haircut. I use about an egg size dollop (my hair is chin length) and diffuse it dry. I cannot believe the definition in my waves. Plus, there is NO frizz at all. It has been a long time since a product alone has brought out my waves (usually I have to use a curling iron to help) and it has actually cut down on my styling time, which is a huge plus in my book. My hair hasn't looked this nice in a long time!

I bought this product based on reviews I found either on this website or on the consumersearch.com website. It seems to work on the frizz but it can weigh down my curls as well. I find that it separates my fine curls but doesn't really accentuate them or make them curl better. I said that I would buy the product again because it's a nice go to for something cheap or to use in between expensive products and to give my hair a break from using the same stuff. It does an ok job at styling and it definitely conditions so if you are looking for something to fight frizz this will do it for sure. It might be best for someone who has thick coarse hair versus someone with fine hair like mine especially on a long term basis. Not bad for the price.

The scent is amazing and works well with my permed hair. I didn't know what to get but I wanted to play it safe. I'm glad I went with this one.

I love this mousse! It gives my frizzy, wavy/slightly curly hair nice curls. It's wonderful! I love the way it smells! It smells fruity and light. I love that when you emulsify it in your hands it turns into a thick cream. It doesn't have alcohol in it and it doesn't leave my hair crunchy. When I scrunch my hair, I put about two golf ball sized pumps of mousse in my hand and run it through my hair. Then I run about a nickel-sized amount of hair gel through my hair. Then I either let it air dry or use a hair dryer with a diffuser attached on low. I can't believe how cheap this mousse is, yet it works! Yay Suave!

Love!! I have wavy hair that likes to frizz. This stuff is better than anything I have tried and it's cheap! Before this I used AG recoil with okay results but I had to drive across town and pay 18 bits for it. This works as well. Actually, better. I use it the same way as the Recoil.
I use a wide toothed comb in the shower to smooth out and part my hair where I want it. When I get out, before toweling my hair, I flip over and apply 2-3 golf ball sized palms through my soaking hair. Then I wrap it in a towel while I put my face on and then let it air dry. The results are amazing! I get so many lovely curls and waves with great separation and shine. If I am hurried and have can't wait for it to dry, I will use a diffuser on med speed and heat to take the damp out. This seems to help my super thick and long hair dry faster though.
Let me tell you I have tried creams, gels, mousses, no-pooing, the curly girl no cone method, oils, and sprays and nothing has ever worked this good or been this easy. This has taken a half hour off my hair routine and given me the best and cheapest results. I get complimented on my natural hair now all the time. That is a first as I only used to get compliments on my straightened hair.
I used and review the previous Suave curly mouse, and liked it for awhile before I found the better recoil, but this beats them both.
