Suave Professionals Captivating Curls Whipped Cream Mousse

This IS back! At least here in the NYC market - I found it on the shelf at Harmon, couldn't believe it. I hope it is back to stay this time! Just wanted to let people here know who have been missing it that you can find it at Harmon in stores and online.

Love this! To those who thought it was discontinued please check again! There is a learning curve for use. The mousse is very heavy and creamy. When I first scrunch in my hair feels gunky. Do not fear!!! Apply, do not touch after , and let air dry. My waves come out soft and beautiful. One of the few products I don't have to layer with other products.

For years, I have been using this product. I have coarse, curly hair that gets super dry at the ends and this mousse gave my hair LIFE. Not crunchy, but instead very conditioning. It defined my curls so beautifully and was easy to disperse through my hair. I've tried a few other drugstore mousses, but none of them compare and are almost always too crunchy.

There are two down sides to this mousse. The first one (which is the easiest to overcome) is that towards the end of the can, the mousse would have less air in it, so it comes out much thicker and stickier than it did when the can was fresh. The other down side is that Suave appears to have discontinued this product. I tried to order a few bottles of it from Walmarts website, but instead, they sent their newer version (silver bottle with purple writing), which I have tried but did not enjoy nearly as much as the Captivating Curls mousse. So sad to see it go :(

I have been trying the Suave Kids mousse (the cherry vanilla one) and it seems to be working okay... better than some of the other ones that I've tried. There's still no replacing my HG mousse!

I like the texture of this mousse...a lot. It is thick and feels solid, not like some that fall flat as soon as it hits your hand. But after using this and blow drying my hair I have lots of frizz and fly aways. This is a problem because then I have to use other products to bring that frizz down. So it seems like I'm creating more of a problem. I will also say that I do not use this to create curl. I use it for volume and blow dry my hair straight. When I am finished it seems like I have volume in some places and other areas are flat still. I'm guessing this is because I suck at blow drying my hair but this product makes my suckiness really stand out..

I have 2c, coarse, low porosity, normal elasticity and low-med density hair.

This gives my waves great definition, great body and shine. It makes me look like I have a full head of hair from the root that I no longer clip my roots to give it a lift. I suspect because it kind of "expands" my curls, so it does slightly stretch out my waves. I don't mind it at all due to volume I get and it still greatly defines my waves, so my hair doesn't look like unruly lion's mane. The mousse also doesn't dry crunchy nor does it make my waves look wet.
It looks full, bouncy, defined, soft and shiny.

It has dimethicone and amodimethicone, so it's not exactly CG-safe. But I read a few blogposts by blogger with scientific background that claim cetrimonium chloride can emulsify and wash away -cones and my staple conditioners I used as CO/RO/LI have it. Cocamidopropyl betaine does as well, which is in the feminine and facial washes I use as low-poo.

It may buildup on my scalp after a while, but low-pooing or clarifying sorts that out.

I live in Malta which is very humid and I also found this better on mid-lower dew point. I think it tends to "expand" my hair too much in summer heat and humidity.

I no longer see the product on Suave's website. I suspect it got discontinued and replaced with another product. I believe I can still find it in here for a while (this island is really behind on new releases), although I have another staple mousse, yet I will still miss it when it's gone.

I'm very disappointed that I am no longer able to find Suave Captivating Curls on the shelves any more. It seems to have been replaced by another product. I have curly hair and have spent my entire life trying to find just the right product for my hair. Now that I have found it, it seems to no longer be available. Very disappointing!!!!!

I had high expectations buying this. Lots of great reviews. Used it on wet hair out of the shower . Added some gel on top. No muy bueno. Hair felt heavy and a little greasy. Curls did not curl right. So this morning I decided to use it in a different way. I brushed my hair out lightly then wet down my second day hair with a spray bottle and scrunched so I could see the curls reform. Then I added about two golf ball sized amounts to my medium bob 2B/C hair and scrunched again, mostly on the ends. Then waited for it to dry. Almost dry, then I scrunch it. WOW! Beautiful, separated, moisturized curls. I am really impressed.

I really like this mousse. It has a thick, creamy consistency with a pleasant mild scent. It is also very affordable and easy to find at any drugstore. I can achieve up to day 4 hair with this. My hair is curly yet fine & low-density. With this mousse, I am frizz-free and volumized! I like the fact that this doesn't weigh my hair down but still provides adequate moisture.

This is my first mousse ever. I have straight hair so I never need mousse. However, I've been experiencing the sock bun method for curls and this mousse was the best product to use if you naturally have straight hair. NOTHING curls my hair. It is heavy, long, blunt, thick and coarse. I've used various curling irons clip and clipless for cheap to $$$. By the time I get to the other side of my head, the curled side starts to fall and I have to go back and re-curl that side. By an hour, my hair is straight again. I've tried hot rollers, foam rollers etc nothing! My first time doing the sock bun method (no product), I got very weak waves that fell in a few hours. My second time doing the sock bun method (wave sea salt spray), I got dreadlocks. My third time doing the sock bun method (curl enhancing spray gel), I got frizzy weak hard to the touch waves The most recent time, I used this Suave Professionals Captivating Curls Whipped Cream Mousse and I got some serious full blown curls that lasted two whole days! This mousse is the mother of all products to enhance curls. Anyone should use this. I can only imagine how beautiful this mousse would make naturally curly hair look. Okay, some details of this mousse. 1. It is so creamy! Just like Reddi Whip! It's dense and holds peaks but when you work it in your hair, it disappears and evenly covers from root to ends. 2. It gives such a soft touchable yet strong hold. It doesn't feel waxy or stiff at all. 3. It controls frizz and leaves hair shiny. 4. It doesn't have a gross smell. 5. It gives hair volume. 6. It does an amzing job holding a curl. 7. It is extremely affordable. There are no cons to this mousse.

I really like this. I have naturally wavy hair that can be made into curls with some scrunching and curl enhancer, and this works nicely to hold them and help define them more. I usually use this after using an anti-frizz serum and curl enhancing spray, then scrunch for a bit and let my hair air-dry or blow dry with a diffuser. It smells very clean and the mousse squirts out easily. It does make my hair a bit crunchy, but you can solve that with a bit of scrunching. Amazing for the price too. Great for curly girls!
