Need Help....

sophiamarie — Wed, 19 Sep 2018 17:29:56 GMT

I have very limp hair, although lots of it. I always used Samy's thickening mousse. Now, I can't find it anywhere. It seems to be "discontinued".... I have looked online at Amazon and every store known to man.

Can anyone recommend a volumizing mousse, like Samy's??? Did Samy go out of business???

I would appreciate all the help I can get. TIA

It was called "Fat Hair, Zero Calories".....For me, it was the greatest product for my hair. Maybe someone out there knows of something like it????

Hi @Big Joanie I do have a Walgreen's close by and they are advertising Got2b Fat-Tastic thickening mousse which is an "Ulta" Beauty product.

I am going to give it a try.

Thanks for your speedy response and will let you know. It's only $6.99 too. Samy's products were about the same price - but as long as it works, that's fine with me.

I used the Samy's "Fat Hair Zero Calories" mousse and loved it. I think it is discontinued, and I haven't found a reliable replacement. I alternate between Schwarzkopf Biotin Volume mousse and Big Sexy Hair mousse. I still have about 1/3 can of Fat Hair. I save it for special occasions. Good luck.

I looked online & saw where he opened Samy Beauty Lounge in Fl.

I don't see where you can buy products from that site either.

Is it only the mousse that you can't find and want? There are Samy's products on eBay, but I don't know about the mousse.

Found a set of two on ebay but brace yourself...it's over $100.00.

someone here before mentioned OUAI volumizing spray, and said it really worked. i haven’t tried it yet, but maybe you’d like to. it’s available in sephora.

@sophiamarie

You could always write to the Vermont Country Store, under "suggest a product" and tell them why you would like them to source it for you.

All good suggestions and I thank you all for your responses.

Today I tried something I never did before. I used the mousse I got in Walgreens about a year ago and the cosmetic girl said if I wasn't happy with it, I could bring it back. I am not thrilled with it but I kept it anyway. It's Nexxus Mousse Plus Volume Control. So, I scrunched it through my hair and when it was dry, I sprayed it with hair spray, still not combing it out. Bronze can.

She gave me Loreal "Lock It Bold Control" hair spray Extra strong. Black can.

When that dried, I took a pick and combed my hair out and it seemed to work pretty good. Not what I would have liked, but better than nothing. My hair isn't stiff because it's combed out.

Again, thanks y'all and I will look into some of the ideas on this thread.
