Tip👉 Apply your mousse on slightly damp hair, not soaking wet hair. Doing this allows me to wear my wash and go's for an entire week, because the mousse dries with a slightly firmer hold. 😁 Hope that helps
My hair does the same. Great on day one and a hot mess on day two. Saw a tip on RU-vid to reapply it on dry hair on day two. It gives me amazing results for days after that. Downside I use a ton of product to get that result. Always looks good but not my go to. And it dries my hair out.
Your hair looks great! I am one of those that this product does NOT work for. Looked amazing when wet, but felt like Easter basket grass when it dried! 😂😅😆
The deman brush (or any brush) changes the curl pattern of your hair. Your hair also shrinks more. Also the ends will be really defined but the roots will be undefined which leads to frizz later on.
I just want to say I appreciate you sharing your natural journey history I’ve been natural about 5 years but just watching some of your videos I’ve learned so much that helped my natural hair for the better
While I sometimes use Mousse Def only, I mostly use it on top of UFD. That has given me the best outcome so far. It's still quick drying but with more hold. IDK if that will work for you as we have different essential elements.
I’ve recently started double casting a technique from Mo Knows Hair channel. So after the hair is dry from the first application you go in section by section and reapply the mousse and it really helps the wash n go to pop!
Interesting🤔 so you put the mousse on, let it completely dry, then go in and coat the strands once more. A double mousse much like a double gel? I am intrigued.
That's what I was wondering. Do we have to wait until the next day or can we go in the same day if able? Either way I'm trying this on my next wash day!
Mousse-only wash & goes / creams for the summer are for sure my plan too. Gels just haven’t been doing it for me lately. The Deaux is amazing, and another mousse I love is the Carol’s Daughter Wash Day Delight Gel-To-Foam Styler.
I alternate between Mousse Def and Camille Rose Honey Mousse for my mousse-only wash & goes. Next time you use the mousse, try just using an extra large bonnet without the scrunchies. IMO I think that might be why you had to fluff a bit more to get the look you wanted since you had to work the dents out. I also recommend waiting until the next morning to decide if you want stretch your roots. You might find that after you fluff in the morning that by itself might give you the amount of volume you like.
I’ve been using this as a topper with the mane choice braid out glaze. That’s my favorite combo right now. It also worked well with Pattern’s styling Custard for me.
When I followed the directions & used this product correctly, it forever changed my wash, dry & go's. Doesn't last as long as I'd like BUT it makes wash day a breeze so I don't mind. Your hair looks fabulous 🤌🏾
Hey Brit! Just wanted to let you know that if you apply it on dry hair the hold is INSANE!! I mean crunchy!..also I usually let mine air dry once I’ve set my hair how I like it. By the time you’re done with the application most of it has dried anyways so o I find it easier to set my hair as I’m applying the product and give a light shake at the end. And lastly I find a bonnet itself holds my shape for me. Just a little shake and fluff in the morning and I’m good. Depending on how well I condition my hair prior to styling I can get about a week even once the crunch resides. Hope this helps! And thanks for sharing your journey ❤❤
My favorite mousse combos: 1) Miche Beauty Lavish Leave in, Miche Beauty Sculpt Gel with Miche Beauty’s Set Mousse on top. 2) Sienna Naturals Elixir as a Leave in, Sienna Naturals Curl Cream, Sienna Naturals Mousse looked great and VERY moisturizing. Decided to add I Create Hold as a topper. It saved the day. 3) Sienna Naturals Leave in, AG Mousse Gel Extra Firm added Jello Shot as topper. 4) This one’s new. Just washed my hair yesterday. Sienna Naturals Elixir, Pur Bella Mousse (had this for a while heard it works well with the Pur Bella Vanilla Rain Conditioner/Refresher/ Detangler so I got it. The curls are poppin. Haven’t taken scarf off yet. It’s raining. I’m chillin in bed.
Loved the Mousse Def when I first tried it and how it feels. I also use it for slick back buns! BUT once I tried The Doux Big Poppa Defining Gel.... baby now that's the truth!!! I think all of these products work best on soaking wet hair (maybe the mousse on damp hair instead & add water if needed) then set the style with heat so it lasts longer. Your hair is so pretty! I love the big curls
Hi Brittany, I only wear wash and goes. At night I put my hair in two pigtails before going to bed. In the morning, I retouch the parameters of my hair with some product. Afterwards, I reshape it in the desired style. I hope that this is useful for you.
Love your hair in this video. You’re correct in the steps you would need to take for the next time. I’ve seen another RU-vidr do a wash-n-go, and I’ve seen the owner of this product do a video. You definitely need to be heavy-handed, and use a lot on the roots, plus stretch it more from roots to ends with the scrunchies. I haven’t tried this product yet, but I think I’ll try it for this spring. Thank you so much for sharing.
I love the mousse for day 1 only but after that it’s a mess… jus doesn’t hold up. Would be great for same day events since it dries so fast and looks the best day 1.
You just popping up the videos left and right. The mousse alone is great because it dries so fast, it just doesn’t last for me. That mousse alone had my hair dry looking by day 3 But when I use the big poppa over it I can get a good 7 days It’s funny my hair was looking like that alone on day 2, and I didn’t separate as well as you did. Definitely realized adding more water or spray to my hair the Mousse was like girl you better stop. You like volume and definition, try a gel over top. It’s been my new favorite combo for weeks now, mousse the base and gel over top. You are spoiling us
I had such high hopes for you simply because I purchased more of that foam TODAY! I was giving it a another go but it makes my hair too hard and dry! And frizzy the next day! The volume is glorious but that’s about my only positive take away. I plan to try it with my curlsmith multitasking conditioner as a leave-in and see🤷🏾♀️🙏🏾…love all the videos, thank u!!
I had the same experience. I tried the Quidad featherlight cream and my hair was still dry. I would love to know your experience with Curlsmith underneath
@@Cee_huggs so I washed my hair last night and conditioned it with the curlsmith and rinsed it out. (I forgot that I was gonna leave it in🫠) I used the UFD as my base. Today is day 1. It’s a bit crunchy but not too bad and no friz…yet. I expect by Wednesday it to be dry as a chip. The curls are pretty today though.
I found that it works good for me alone if I use it on dry hair. For me adding more water just gives me frizzy and less definition with barely any hold. I was determined to find a way to make this work for me. Do you think you can do a video trying Alodias products? I would love to see how it works on you.
I find the hold a little too strong when dry so I apply it first then mist a bit of water into instead of wetting the hair first. I find it helps balance the crunch and hold for me 👌🏽
I liked the doux but it did leave my hair dry. The treluxe mousse worked so much better for my hair. Gave me volume, definition, and longevity. I want to try layering foams to see if that makes a difference similar to layering gels.
Y’all, I keep on calling the Felicia Leatherwood brush the Denman and I’m so sorry lol I do not know for the life of me why I’m doing that. I’m just so used to saying Denman. Sorry. 🤗
Hi❤ brushing the hair contributes to the roots puffing up. so next time maybe try not the brush the hair after the styler and also misting high porosity hair with water or something that has water in it won't help make the hair fall into place. Instead, it will make the hair open to absorb the moisture and it will puff up or swell up and ruin your definition. Water tames frizz and makes it fall only on low porosity hair. i dont believe in mousse only wash and gos for type 4 hair. The hold is just too weak no matter how good the mousse is. Your hair is beautiful Good luck for next time🌸🌸
Unfortunately this one doesn’t work for me. I get crazy flakes, decent definition but it feels like a bale of hay. I have found that the Camille rose spiked honey mousse has been the best I’ve tried. I would also like to try the pattern mousse because I’ve heard great things about that one too. When applying mousse I use a raking AND smoothing technique; fingers only. I initially rake the product through a bit in flat, wide sections then do a smooth/rake/smooth/ release technique that helps clump the curls together. Maybe try that and see if you can get the definition to set better at the roots. Awesome video as always. I always want to wash my hair again after watching you lol.
I’ve been loving the Pattern mousse! I have about the same hair type as you but its a longer-ish pixie cut right now, so the results are a little different. My hair is not as dense, so I learned if I add a gel or another mousse to the hair shaft it just bogs it down with too much product. though the Pattern mousse is a little more forgiving with an extra product in there I found! I’ll usually mix the gel with the mousse together since that’s what the website says and that works for me! I like the Pattern mousse because it doesn’t dry out my hair 🎉
Your hair looks good & it has grown. I love Mousse Def & I've used it on top of Uncle Funky's Daughter. Try it again! I think spraying the Quidad added the frizz. You have volume for days......love it!
You're hair came out great! I love this product, however I'm like you. I like a one and done for the week. I just don't have the time for resets and extra wash day. I had to use Alooooot for it too last, so in the in end the cons out weighed the pros. My fav combo was layering it with the ouidad climate control gel. The out come was great, but I felt like I could use more moisture by day 2. I then tried making a cocktail with the foam and a tiny bit of jojoba oil bc it's a light absorbent oil that works well on my low porosity hair. Last step ouidad CC gel. This was my jam, but I still had to use so much foam it wasn't cost effective. If the foam was sold in larger refill bottle like the design essentials avacodo foam. It has a 32oz you can get for refills. I could see it working. Until next time be blessed. I can't wait to see what mousse you try next💜
Waite!!!! This happened to me the very first time I used it to! You gotta try it pair it with a leave in like Kinky Curly knot today or the As I am Leave in and your gonna love it!!! All that separating it with the hair ties, no need for that just once it dries slap that bonnet on it and gone to bed!!! In the morning you’ll be amazed at how easy it is to fluff and fall right back into place! And just spritz with water next time ❤
I realized I create hold and uf is definitely a winter combo and just did a full mousse wash in go 30 min dry time perfect results but I didn’t use enough product
I didn't like it for me for the same reason, too unruly. However, I watched a few videos where indeed a lot of product was applied on day 1 without anything else (no oil to break the cast etc) and more added the next day for double casting. It looked a lot better and seemed to last. Something to think about.
Your hair is giving what it needs to give. I no longer cover my hair. I just put two Silk or satin pillow case on my pillow now. Now you may be wondering why I put two I noticed that my hair would be a little dry if I only use one silk or satin pillowcase. Also, I put a zipper case coverings otherwise they just come off the pillow because of the slippery of the satin or silk pillowcase. And honestly I just looked in the mirror shake my hair and go no restyling no fluffing no nothing
SWEET BABIES!! I gotta run out and get me some of this!!! This one one of my favorite results of yours I've seen, thats crazy that only mousse produced such gorgeous curls!!❤️❤️❤️
I love mousse def. I am heavy handed. I recommend watching the creator's video. She gives great tips for apply mousse def. I preserve my wash and go with a buff. I don't know that it will work for you because of your bangs.
I know I’m tardy to da party, but I’m glad I came across this code. I tried The Doux Big Poppa gel and got outstanding results. A fellow curly girl suggested that I try this mousse. After watching your video, I think I’ll pass on using for a wash-n-go. Contemplating using it for a roller set.
You have more company than you know…..It takes me a minimum of 1-1/2 to 2 hrs to set a wash and go. My hair has grown a lot which has impacted amount of product I have to use and the amount of time it takes to style. But….It’s worth it!!!
First off, that is "THE FELICIA LEATHERWOOD BRUSH" my love! One thing that is so helpful to note, is that as soon as you pump out the mousse, it is already emulsified! So I'd definitely recommend not rubbing it together in your hands. Maya also snags this as well!
The Doux Mousse Def has an amazing smell. Right now I am using UFD under Mop Top and it’s working great. I tried to put Mousse Def in between those two to get that smell, but it created a dryness and some minor flaking pairing all three of those together.
You should really try using uncle funkys with the mouse def on top....omg ...my stylist who does not use oils butters ect...has me using this combo...the uncle funky keeps it moisturized
Foams!!!! I am curious if you could make a video of your favorite wash and go combos. If you did not make videos and try new combos all the time what routines would you stick with?
If you have the new Felicia Leatherwood brush, I would love to hear your thoughts on it and how it compares to the older version. I think you mentioned that you like this one better and a possible upcoming vlog about it? It was always out of stock when I thought about ordering but before I get the new version, I want to see some reviews.
In my experience I get better results when I use this foam and foams in general on damp towel dried hair starting at the front and then moving towards the back and using a tool to distribute the product. Because of my course surface texture I do need to apply enough to both smooth and clump my natural hair.
Can you try their Honey curl mousse?? I know you didn’t like the curl custard but the mousse may be different! With just the mousse in this video your hair looks so bomb 😍😍😍
I was a mousse def + big poppa (as a topper) girl until you put me on to the kinky curly system. I get more volume if I use the mousse only but in Louisiana I can only do that in the winter. I never try to preserve the length though because it will frizz on you I just shape so I don’t lose definition.
JUST A QUICK THOUGHT / SIMPLE ASK: PLEASE CONSIDER SHARING THE COMBO & PERFORMANCE OF THE WNG YOU ARE WASHING OUT PRIOR TO MOVING TO THE NEW COMBO. I TRUST THIS IS CLEAR AND WILL PROVE BENEFICIAL TO BOTH YOU AND YOUR GROWING SUBSCRIBERS AS WE CONTINUE ON OUR COILY JOURNEY.
I use the Doux for twist outs and I love it. But I don't really like it for wash n go. Even if you used a lot it wouldn't make a difference. You need a gel topper.
The mousse def was great for my hair, but HORRIBLE for my skin. It caused so much eczema all over my neck and chest, and behind my ears. I had to let it go.
Smells good feels good I need a detailed review as is it smells like honey like a citrus etc not smells good. It feels crunchy or it feels sticky . Etc not it feels good
Hmm I feel like mousse only wash & go’s don’t really do it for me🥴 but your day 1 results were beautiful ! SN: I preserve my wash n go’s the same way. Next time, instead of spraying that botanical spray all over (I have it too) spray some on your finger tips & apply to your roots only( not too much) & most of the time I do it with the ouidad oil instead cause it won’t cause frizz. That’ll loosen the roots a bit & then you can shake it out & finish off w/ some ouidad oil spray all over if desired. This works for me & my gel wash & go’s.
I'd say 3 pumps per section per the doux's recommendations in application video. I leave my hair out in the bonnet and try to avoid manipulating it until the next day. When it's dry I also add a little oil (Jojoba oil by pattern) to help lock in my moisture also and lately found out that helps with the shine throughout the week. I also always use camille rose honey leave-in (small amount rubbed in hands per section) because I'm low porosity. It holds up a lot longer with a leave-in. I love the doux. It's my staple product. Yes your hair is getting long I think the leavin will be the best fix for your curls too. 🌹
