Design Essentials Almond and Avocado Curl Enhancing Mousse, 10 fl oz. | For Curly, Wavy & Coily Hair | Styling Foam w/ Olive | Defines Curls, Controls Frizz & Adds Shine | Soft Flexible Hold

This is the best styling product I’ve ever used on my curly hair! My hair is jaw length and have 3C curls. I only use leave in conditioner and this, and couldn’t be happier! Even next day curls are looking better. It’s a mousse but more foamy and seems to melt into the hair leaving my curls bouncy and not sticky or stiff. The scent is heavenly too. So glad I found this! ❤️

I love this, curls my hair just right and it smellllllllssss so good. & I'm natural. My naps be napping. So for me to leave a review about my hair… babyyyy this whole brand Shampoo, conditioner and leave in conditioner it the best.. I use to have Hella breakage. I don't have that anymore since I've started using this product

Good size for a good price. I was able to refill the 10oz bottle that I had with no issue.

It does give my curls definition, but, my hair does end up kind of dry/frizzy. I'm not sure if this is because of user error or if it's the product itself. It might be both. My hair is very low porosity so I don't need very much protein and this has hydrolyzed wheat protein in it. On top of that, I've heard that wheat protein is one of the heavier proteins. Please, don't quote me on that. Please research it yourself to be sure. But maybe the protein content is contributing to the dryness/frizziness of my hair. Or also, I'm just now learning to use a diffuser and sometimes it comes out frizzy - cause I'm still learning. Either way, my hair is very low porosity and doesn't need much protein, and this possibly has a heavy weight protein in it. So, maybe it's more for those whose hair needs the protein. Side note: I didn't know it had protein in it when I bought it. I wasn't really paying attention to that. Also, I think when I bought it, I didn't know enough about protein and it's interaction with lo porosity hair, so I didn't know what to look for when looking for products. I gave it 4 stars because while on one hand it didn't work for me, on the other, I don't completely blame the product because I think it's just not right for my hair type. If you have high porosity hair, it may work better for you. I think I will keep using it until it's gone just cause I don't like wasting money or product. But, I will finish off with a nice oil to counter-balance the frizz/dryness.

Great effect on my hair (4C)! I absolutely love this product! Wow!! It was nice to have finally found a product that leaves my hair hydrated and moisturized. When it dries it doesn’t dry crunchy. The product is worth the price and the definition of the curls is undeniable!! I use the mousse as part of a three part mixture with another Design Essential product (Coconut & Moni Curl Defining Gelee) and a climate control (another brand) and apply to my hair and depending on how much time I want to spend on my hair, I do either finger coils, or I use the first 2-3 teeth of a fine tooth rat tail comb to create great curls on top, and the sponge for the sides and back. It’s amazing how the right products can transform your hair. And the curls last! This product is a must have! Great results! I’m loving my curls! I’m often asked if my hair has been texturized. The answer is, “Nope”, and I say, it’s a matter of finding the right products. It makes all the difference! I use the mousse about 2-3 a week for my sides and back, just to keep the curls looking fresh.

This mousse has been perfect for my daughter. It defines her curls without weighing them down and keeps them soft all day. You only need a quarter size amount so the bottle lasts a long time. It is easy to use, smells nice, and gives great results. I would definitely buy it again.

It's June and the weather turned very humid. I'm older so my hair is dryer as I age. My dry hair in the humidity looked TERRIBLE, very frizzy. I asked a stylist what to do and she said use a mousse and less heat. This was rated very high on Amazon. ABSOLUTELY A GAME CHANGER. I have been using it for a week. I have increased how much I put on and literally my hair has transformed. There is no more frizz and it even looks more moisturized so the dryness is almost gone. Major benefits are my hair is thin so the product has to be weightless or my hair will be limp and greasy. Not with this product. My hair is light, fluffy, curled, soft and in general the best it's looked in a long time. This product is awesome.

I have transitioning natural hair. In between hair appointments I flexi-rod my dry hair and decided to use this mousse. It is very sticky and definitely thickens my hair. My flexi-rodded curls (dry either overnight or at home on Sunday afternoon) come out very tight. Again, it is sticky and my hair has a tacky/sticky touch. I've adjusted the amount used, and while yes the more I use the more sticky and tight curled, but I'm not liking the stickiness and it does frizz up a bit as I try to pull the curls apart. I can see this product working great for all natural wash and go's with a defined curl pattern or zig zag. I'll save it to try maybe several months down the road when the remainder of my relaxer hair grows out. For now, I think I'll stick to Nairobi which my stylist uses to flexible-rod curl.

Really good product BUT price is double what other Retailers are charging so cannot afford to buy again

Works great, smells amazing.

He probado una gran cantidad de espumas y cremas para el pelo y ninguna me había gustado tanto cómo está. Es ligera y deja el cabello súper suave y con los rizos definidos. Además huele delicioso

Great mousse and keeps my curls intact. This is the only item I use after washing my hair and the smell is divine.

I am super particular with the products I use in my hair and super particular in the texture it leaves. I’ve only used this product twice (this photo is of my day two hair, I was even more obsessed with my day one hair.. my curls were so big, soft, and bouncy)... and I can definitely say I will be buying this product again!! For reference, I did diffuse my hair. I also tried it on my sister, who prefers to air dry her hair (she’s got 2b/2c curls)—it dried well and really defined her natural curl! The scent of the product isn’t overwhelming, which is nice. At first I felt like it was going to leave my hair looking oily, but once it was totally dry my curls were just soft and bouncy. This mouse definitely tamed some of my frizz.. though I’m one of those weirdos that doesn’t mind a little frizz! Haha Overall, excellent curly hair products and will be recommending to my curly hair friends!
