[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is easy to apply to the hair, smells good, and works well. For someone who does not have super curly hair naturally it made my hair pretty wavy for the whole day. It didn’t leave my hair feeling heavy or crunchy like some other products I have tried in the past. I was given this product for free to test; in my experience this product worked very well and is something I will continue to use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love not your mothers hair care products! I use this mousse all the time to enhance my curls. It gives my hair volume and smells so good. It holds up extremely well and there’s not a lot of harsh ingredients in it that makes your hair feel like it’s dried out and crunchy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Curl Talk Activating Mousse for a while now, and it’s quickly become a staple in my curl routine. The mousse is super lightweight, yet it gives my curls amazing definition and volume without that stiff or crunchy feel. I love that it enhances my natural texture and helps control frizz, even on humid days.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This does everything I want a mousse to do for my curly hair (2c/3a). It is light weight, doesn’t make my hair look oily or wet, doesn’t leave a crunchy cast, and the smell is nice. Plus I love the price! I will repurchase this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would like to begin with the texture of the mousse. It felt soft. My hair immediately absorbed it. The hold was okay but it did leave my hair slightly stiff. That "crunchy" feel. I wouldn't say it added plenty of hydration. I have high porosity hair so i need a lot of that. With a bonnet at night, my hair did last like 3 or 4 days before i had to refine it again. Only thing i did not like was the crunchy feeling but besides that ots pretty great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mousse works great with curly hair. I used it on my cousin who has curly hair and the product was lightweight and it kept her curls in place and lasted. The scent is minimal too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this brand quite often, but I have not used the mousse until now. I am pleasantly surprised with how well this worked. It held my curls for at least three days. My hair usually tangles when I wear it down, but with this mousse, it kept my hair in place, no tangles. I definitely recommend this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've loved this product since I tried it for the first time on myself and my daughter. It gives our hair beautiful volume and a very natural texture. It doesn't feel stiff at all. It has a very pleasant, fresh smell that lasts all day, and the best part is that its ingredients don't damage our hair. It totally works.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me tell you about the Not Your Mothers Haircare Curl Talk Activating Mousse. I have 3A/3B curls & it does in fact hold your curls in place without frizzing up. What I really like about this mousse is that it doesn’t make your hair feel crunchy. Because cmon, who likes wearing mousse that makes your hair feel crunchy? At that point, I would rather wear gel. But trust, you will not have this issue with this mousse. The only thing, it did hold my curls in place for two days since it does NOT have a strong hold. Rating it from a 1 to 5, 1 being no hold to 5 being the strongest hold, I would say its a 2.5 to a 3.

I just bought my second bottle! I love the volume and shine I get with this mousse. I also get decent definition that lasts me 2-3 days. The smell is also good. I like that using this as a styler takes less dry time than with gel. I have dense, fine to medium, low porosity hair with layers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They aren't wrong when they say curl talk because everyone will be talking about your curls when you use this. I can't use this everyday but when I have time to run it through my hair it's a very essential step. It holds SO well especially with how windy and humid it is where I live. I highly recommend. Give this a try if you're looking for the perfect product for your curls.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried the Not Your Mother’s Curl Talk Activating Mousse, and I have to say—I’m impressed! I was a little skeptical at first because some mousses tend to leave my hair feeling crunchy or weighed down, but this one really surprised me. The texture is super light and airy, and it goes on smoothly without feeling sticky. What I love most is how it defines my curls without taking away their natural bounce.
