    New Formula Is AWFUL!!!

    1 out of 5 stars
    Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
    CB - 6 days ago
    This product has been my holy grail for the past five years. It had good hold for my hair type, wasn't heavy, scrunched out nicely, and had a pleasant smell. Unfortunately, they recently changed the formula. I noticed the smell right away - gross, cheap, sweet - but the consistency seemed the same. After diffusing, it was obvious they changed the ingredients, too - it made my hair flat, greasy, and frizzy. Changing up the gel I use as my first step does next to nothing either - this formula is just awful. I am so disappointed - this really was my HG product, and now I have to spend more time and money trying to find something else.

    We appreciate your loyalty and want to thank you for sharing feedback on our Herbal Essences Curl Boosting Mousse. We would like to apologize deeply for your more recent experience. This truly isn't the kind of results we want or expect for any of our consumers and we understand how this may have been frustrating for you. Please know that all of this will be addressed with the rest of our team. The hair feeling greasy and flat may be due to the product being overused. With our new formulation, we actual prefer you using less than you normally would as you don't need too use a lot to get the results you desire. Also, hair being frizzy usually means that your hair isn't conditioned enough. We recommend using a leave-in conditioner before styling your hair so that your hair is nourished and hydrated. We would like to assist you further. When you have the time, please give us a call at 1-855-236-3327 or email us through our Contact Us Page so we may do so.

    When I read the reviews I thought it can't really be THAT bad! But yes, yes it is. It's much thinner in consistency and has far less hold than the old formula. I agree with other long time users, this mousse is crap compared to the old formula and I will be looking for another brand now

    New formula BOO

    1 out of 5 stars
    Curlytop - 3 months ago
    originally posted on herbalessences.com
    Used the old formula for years and loved it. Enough to hold my curls with air dry time plus a quick pass with a blow dryer, and always perfect results. I get that you can't have harmful chemicals in your products nor do I want that. But wow the difference is major! My hair feels flyaway and soft (not in a good way). So sad as this was the one product I could always rely on. If there's anything you can do to fix this product, that would be great

    Thank you for getting in touch about Herbal Essences Curl Boosting Mousse. We value your loyalty to our product and are saddened to hear that you're no longer getting the same great results you've come to love. That's definitely not the kind of experience we want for our consumers, especially since we wanted our consumers to get the same results without any changes to how their hair feels. You can be sure that we are sharing your comments with the appropriate people on our team. With this new formula, more is less. Consider using less than you normally would and see if it makes a difference for you. We'd be happy to assist you further.

    It works alright, only problem is, it’s super light and you have to use a lot more than necessary to get them to define curls. So you’ll go through it fast if you use it a lot.

    Magically disappears!

    This mousse has everything you would want in a styling mousse! Smells amazing, cute packaging, great value, amazing hold. But the moment you dispense the mousse in your hands and lightly rub them together, it literally disappears, it melts like water. That's so disappointing because this product hits all the marks, and it feels like such waste of money. If they can change the consistency of it without compromising the formula, they would have a winner. Im not sure if I would repurchase, which really sucks. I really wanted to love this much more.
    1 reply from Customer Care team - 2 months ago
    Thank you for taking the time to review our Herbal Essences Curl Boosting Mousse. I can't begin to tell you how excited we are to hear that you liked the scent and the packaging design and that it gave you a great hold at a good value. However, we regret to hear that you do not like the consistency, and we have taken note of that and forwarded your comments to the rest of our Herbal Essences Team. We'd like to leave you with some tips that you might find beneficial. For the best results, be sure to give the bottle a shake before dispensing. Then, dispense the product in your palm using a circular motion, starting from the center and swirling your way outward until you have the best volume of foam for your hair. Very gently rub the foam between your hands before applying it to your hair. To keep as much foam volume as possible, apply only a light amount of pressure between your hands. Too much pressure and/or vigorous rubbing can cause the foam to dissipate faster. We would love to speak with you regarding your experience to learn more about what happened. Please give us a call at 1-855-236-3327 or send us an email through our website's Contact Us page.

    Dandruff galore and WHITE HEAD Betty

    1 out of 5 stars
    Mari27 - 4 months ago
    originally posted on herbalessences.com
    I used to always buy this but stopped cause noticed dandruff was a lot more clumpier and spreading. Now I was resorted to buying it again cause it’s the only mousse that keeps my hair down but I hate that it leaves my hair white when it dries so now every time it dries it looks like I put my head in the sand and didn’t shower and my hair looks all greasy and disgusting. Won’t be buying any more since it’s expensive as well and I don’t feel like getting looks from people like I don’t shower.

    Thank you for reaching out about Herbal Essences Curl Boosting Mousse. While we are glad the product works for you, we are disappointed to hear that you seemed to develop a lot of dandruff and that there was also this white residue left on your hair once dried. That's definitely not the kind of experience we want for our consumers and we'll be sure to report this to the rest of our team. In the meantime, we'd like to assure you that none of our products can cause dandruff or make it worse. Changes in your diet, hormonal changes, stress, and more can lead to dandruff. A flaky, itchy scalp, may not always be dandruff either. Flaking could be a residue from build-up of hairsprays and other grooming products. If you are experience a dry, itchy and flaking scalp that does not improve after using an anti-dandruff shampoo and conditioner for 6 weeks, we do recommend you speak to your doctor. The white stuff you see on your hair may be caused by too much product being used. For a better experience, try using less than you normally would and see if it makes a difference. Also, if you're using styling products daily, be sure to wash your hair more frequently to avoid build-up of the mousse. We'd like to collect some additional details. Please write to us through our Contact Us page so we can better assist you.

    New Formula is Leave-In Conditioner

    1 out of 5 stars
    vadersmom - 5 months ago
    originally posted on herbalessences.com
    So many changes in this new formula and I'm sad to learn I can no longer use a product that has been working perfectly fine. Like all the other reviewers, this stuff dissipates quickly as you put it into your hair. Yes, I shake this can for about 10 seconds before I try to dispense foam. My hair no longer gets hard and crunchy at all. In fact, it's feels weighted down and limp. The exact feeling you'd get with too much conditioner. I stopped using any conditioner over a year ago when I realized it was CAUSING my hair to be dry, limp, and frizzy. Too much conditioner PREVENTS your hair from getting moisture in it. This is exactly how this new formula is acting. I'm certain it's a foaming leave-in conditioner. Until the reviews change for the better, I will not be purchasing this product again.

    dazzlemma - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
    I’ve never been able to get Curly Girl Method to work for me, to bring out my natural waves and curls in a defined yet soft way, until I tried this mousse. My hair is very tiny and fine, and true to the label, this mousse is lightweight enough to not weigh my curls down. I finally have a working Curly Girl routine (I’m not the greatest at it yet, as you can tell by the photo— I’m still practicing and training the curls!), and this is the mousse I use for it. Fine-haired curly/wavy girls, give this one a try!

    Bad Change

    1 out of 5 stars
    GHGU - 6 months ago
    originally posted on herbalessences.com
    This mousse worked well and it smelled awesome. I thought they had only changed the packaging but no. Now it stinks. I place it on my hand to distribute it on both my hands and then my hair but it dissipates. It dissolves and doesn't even make it to my hair. It doesn't smell great like it used to. The same for the hairspray. It has a different non appealing smell. It sprays with less force and doesn't hold my hair and curls in place like before. I had no other choice but to switch to another. I am still trying to find a hairspray equivalent to the previous version of the hairspray. The price also jumped up like the product is high quality which it's not. I hope you don't ruin the shampoo and conditioner I still like. I know you won't switch the mousse and hairspray back. I just won't buy it.

    This is my go to mousse! For reference I have 2b/c curls, thick, full, medium porosity hair. I the shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie under it and this combo works great for my hair. After defusing I’m left with nice bouncy curls. If I want more definition I’ll layer in some gel before applying the mousse. Forms a nice cast that is easy to scrunch out and really holds! Easily refreshes with a mist of the water bottle and I can easily get through 4 days without having to re-wash. Doesn’t feel heavy at all, no problems with build up. I have a really hard time finding products my hair likes and that holds my curls. This one is a keeper!

    I know a ton of reviewers are complaining about the new formula but I love this mousse and I have no problems with the new formula. I’ve tried a LOT of products over the years and this is my favorite. I use it to refresh my curls for up to five days after wash day and I apply it to my hair dry each day after wash day. I swear my curls get curlier and more defined each day after wash day.

Totally Twisted is fluffy, soft and great smelling. My now white/grey wavy hair loves it and I get great results. This new version falls apart and liquifies. It doesn’t feel like mousse at all. Bring Totally Twisted back!!!
