Re: Tips on using WEN mousse

Thank you all. I tried again today without the serum. Half pump of leave in, half pump of SC, no GS, and three of the mousse. No luck today either. I will keep trying your suggestions, to see what works. I had added the mousse in auto delivery just in case I liked it to lock in the price, but may cancel if I can't make if work for me. I don't like to send things back, so I'm keeping it. I do like the scent of the SAM VTS, that came with it, but have enough VTS now from my last August deal/ TSV.

I LOVE the mousse, but I find that it works best for me when I apply it to soaking wet hair. It's my last step before I wrap my hair up in a Turbie Towel. If I wait and apply it later, it can be a bit stiffer and crunchier, if that makes sense.

I've had the glossing serum for quite a while, but I don't love it. I've been experimenting with it lately, and I've determined that I can't use it everyday. If I do, it dries out my hair. I can use it occasionally, when I want a really sleek blowout. But, other than that, I have to skip it.

Me too, I don't use it every day. If I'm trying to really get fancy, I'll use it but it's not my top Wen product.

Re: Tips on using WEN mousse

I never use the mousse when blowing my hair dry; only use it when I'm air-drying. I love it for that. It gives me shiny, bouncy, soft but well-defined curls. It's better for curly for me than anything I've ever used. I've been using the POM mousse by the way. But I've used the SAM and the 613 with same results.

What CC(s) are you using - maybe that's what's causing the problem.

Re: Tips on using WEN mousse

I have past the shoulder length fine, straight hair. I use SC on wet hair and then 8 pumps of mousse when hair is almost air dry. 4 pumps on crown, 4 pumps working around the rest of my hair.

My fave mouse recipe is 50/50 613 + SHP! {#emotions_dlg.wub}

Thanks for the reply. I have been using TT, BGT and POM. However when I use the styling cream, my hair is as usual. Maybe I just don't know how to use the Mousse. I tried different ways as recommended here and still puffy frizzy hair. I stopped using it. I have not tried air drying, I may do that next (when I don't have to go out to see the results). It works great for my DH however.

Hi. My hair is past my mid back. I may try air drying it when I'm off from work. Thanks for the tips.
