Smells gross

1 out of 5 stars

KateR - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
I wish I had checked reviews before buying this. It smells gross. And not because it’s an overdone perfume type smell, it smells off. Like something rotten. I cannot believe they would intentionally make something have this scent. It’s not super strong, but it’s just not a good smell. I keep catching whiffs of it 😩

I use this one my curly headed children! I absolutely love this mousse for them and will be buying again. It works specifically on one of my fine haired curly headed boys. The mousse is nice and heavy and defines the curls perfectly.

The mousse works well, has great hold but it smells horrible. It smells like sneeze when you have a sinus infection. I had to return it was unbearable.

Smells rancid

I got the trio as a gift for Christmas. I used all three of them together for a couple of washes and I would notice a foul smell throughout the day. I realized the smell was coming from me and my hair, and I pinned it down to the mousse. The curl cream and gel smells like a dream, but the mousse smells spoiled.

CG Approved. Clarify Regularly

5 out of 5 stars
Thumbs up graphic, would recommend
Sjashby - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
Curly Girl Approved ingredients! I haven't used this a ton, because I've only been doing wash days about twice a week, but it doesn't seem to weigh my fine 2A medium porosity hair down too much. I'd definitely suggest using a clarifying shampoo every 3-5 wash days to avoid buildup, since this does contain polyquaternium-46 (a polyquat), which helps with texture, but can cause buildup.

The mousse is light and doesn't weigh my hair down or make it crunchy. The Curl Talk products, in general, are the best.

Been using this product for years. Always loved the slightly sweet scent but new formulation now has a sour unattractive aroma. So disappointed. Please switch back to the original.

Not a fan at all. Makes my hair SO greasy and sticky, which defeats the purpose of hair wash day. Very disappointed.

I like the smell and hold. Also, I get almost no flakiness compared to other brands. My hair can be easily refreshed for 2 days after wash day. I keep coming back to this mousse after trying others.

I love the Activating Curl Talk Mousse, but the nozzle design is clearly defective. On my counter sits 2 of them with a broken nozzle. Please, please work on this design! It is my favorite mousse but I can’t keep buying cans and having this happen. If it wasn’t for the nozzle I’d give it 5 stars!

There was nothing natural or touchable about the way this left my 2A/2B hair after I used it. There was no shine, it was crunchy, and it left my hair in a tangled dry mess.
