The Mousse Hates Me

Beautoxica · ‎06-07-2015

Every time I use the mousse, my hair ends up frizzy and looking like I slept on it. If I just put the styling creme in, it's perfect, but I don't understand what I'm doing wrong with the mousse. I've tried using a lot and I've tried using a little, it's the same every time.

Does anyone elses hair not seem to like it?

Yes, my hair doesn't look good with the mousse either! It's the only Wen product I haven't liked. I straighten my naturally curly hair and the mousse seems to attract moisture not repel.

Mouse works good for me. I had that issue and then I used one pump less and had shine and body.

Try that and you'll be happy!

@Beautoxica Silly question, but how have you used the mousse? Have you used it on soaking wet hair after you have added SC to your hair? This is how I get the best results. It was a love hate relationship for me when I first bought the mousse.

@Suz585 Yes, on soaking wet hair after applying the styling creme. I've tried as little as three pumps for my thick, curly hair and nothing seems to like it. The sucky part is that I have two scents that I don't want to throw out.

Just my luck

@Beautoxica Ok, I know this sounds silly - but - have you tried A LOT of pumps on soaking wet hair, say 15 total (6 on your crown and the rest thru your length) pumps?

At first, I didn't think the mousse made a difference for me. I used it, I didn't, I wasn't consistent. Then one day, I realized the mousse gave me great volume and body. When I didn't use it, I had baby fine straight thin looking hair. When I use it, I have fuller, volume filled hair with a lot of body, which prior to WEN, I never had a day in my life.

Keep trying it, maybe you can figure it out. Maybe it's not for you, but I hope it is!!

I haven't tried a LOT of pumps, but maybe I will. I think I'll give it a few more tries before I give up on it.

@Beautoxica Your title is funny!

I've had the same feeling at times

What seems to be working for me is to apply the mousse with my hair flipper upside down, so that the concentration is at the base and through the roots. If too much goes on the top layer of my hair, it can get quite flyaway. I think it's a combo of my super-fine hair and how lightweight the mousse makes it. It is a little frustrating when everyone else is having such great results with it!
