Anyone with waves, curls or coils who wants definition and frizz control with a soft, flexible finish. DESIGNME recommends it for curl types 2A to 4B and for fine, medium and coarse textures; fine or low-density hair needs less product, thicker or tighter curls need more.

It is a retail styler for home use and fits a Curly Girl Method routine, according to the brand.

Curl creams can leave looser curls limp, and gels can leave a hard cast. BOUNCE.ME Curl Mousse sits between the two: a light foam that spreads easily from root to end, adds lift at the root and shapes each curl, then dries to a soft hold that keeps its form through humid days. It also works over a leave-in conditioner, and a small amount on re-wet hair refreshes curls between wash days.

1. Shake well and dispense a palmful of mousse into your hands. Start with less and add more if needed.
2. Apply evenly to clean, damp, lightly towel-dried hair, from roots to ends.
3. Work through in sections, shaping curls by raking, scrunching, finger coiling or with a curl brush.
4. Diffuse or air dry. Once fully dry, scrunch out any cast for soft, touchable curls.

Pros:

• Soft, touchable hold with no crunch once dry
• Alcohol-free, so it does not dry curls out
• Frizz and humidity resistance rated by DESIGNME at up to 48 hours
• Light enough for fine waves, but can be layered for thicker curls

Cons:

• Hold is softer than a gel, so it may not be enough for very sculpted styles
• Aerosol with a flammable propellant: keep away from heat and flame
• Contains fragrance
