Our Take
An alcohol-free, curl-defining mousse from the Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz range that avoids the dehydrating effect that alcohol-based mousse formulas typically cause. Contains Silk Amino Acids for light protein reinforcement that smoothes the hair surface as the mousse dries, contributing to the frizz-free, shiny finish. Works on all textured hair types including wigs and weave styles. Apply to wet hair and scrunch upwards without raking through — the curl-clumping definition it produces is noticeably more uniform than brush-applied or hand-applied creams. A good option for curlies who like the volume that mousse produces but have found most mousse formulas too drying.
