I love the mousse when I wear my hair curly! I only have the pom. I'm debating on getting the shp though.

So glad you're liking the mousse now!

Which formula are you using? I think our hair types are similar, that's why I'm curious. I only have the 613 mousse, and I don't use it everyday because I don't want to overdo it on the amino acids.

I think I'm going to try it in LAV next.

I have a small bottle of Sam mousse, a small bottle of 613 mousse, and a large bottle of lavender. I like the lavender, but I think I like the Sam the best. I used 613 today and the results were pretty much the same as the others. It seems like they all work about the same to me. I'm like you, I don't want to overdo the amino acids. I think as long as I use the 613 mousse on days that I use a core cc, I should be fine. If I use a seasonal or BGT, I use the Sam or lav mousse. I do want to continue to use the 613 mousse to see if it becomes drying over time. It smells so good.

I haven't tried the mousse yet, but am waiting for the SHP mousse and styling creme to debut. It seemed like when Chaz was showing the mousse, it took quite a lot of pumps. How long does a bottle of mousse last on average?

I have the Lavender mousse and can't say that I'm lovin it as I'm not getting any volume. I do love the Lavender cleansing creme and am on my third gallon as it's done wonders for my hair. But, I may not be using enough of the mousse according to Hilary77 stating she uses 4-6 pumps. I will bump it up at my next cleanse and see if it works better. I am glad Hilary77 that you found what works for you!

If you want volume, you might want to try using more. The times that I used more, I got more volume. My hair is thick, so I don't really need any more volume. I like that the small amount just gives me light hold and shine, not all the volume. I have seen Chaz put like 12-16 pumps on some of the models. My hair would be huge!!! Lol!!

I would say it lasts awhile. I have only been using it about the last two weeks. I only use 4-6 pumps at a time, but I have a lot left.

Also, FYI the SHP mousse and styling creme don't have amino acids. I'm not that crazy about the SHP scent, so I may pass, but it's still good to know for future seasonal sc's and mousse.

I use about 6 pumps every day. Mine lasts well over a month--possibly even 2 months. Sorry I haven't paid more attention to that and can't be more precise.

I just tossed an empty 613 mousse bottle. I was using 3-4 pumps, recently bumped up to 4-5 because I'm air-drying. I just checked my order history and was surprised to see I ordered it June of last year. I do have the Lav mousse, but it's more than half full, and I use the mousse 90% of the time, so it does last a long time.

That's good to know, thanks! I'm not crazy about the SHP either, used it for the first time today (from the three piece OTO). I keep telling myself to stay away from the seasonals, but I can't help it, lol. Unless the SHP mousse/SC is at a value that I can't pass up, I'll probably skip it.

You said you prefer the SAM mousse to LAV? Any particular reason? Or just scent?

Thanks everyone for the advice on how many pumps to use and how long it will last. When Chaz was demonstrating, he was using like 16 pumps and I wasn't sure how cost effective it would be at that rate. I feel better about it now. Thanks ladies.
