I have naturally straight thick low porosity hair and I am planning on using this hair mousse for frizz control and volume. Is that ok? Will it damage my hair since it is for curly hair types?

Hi there! I've been using NYM Curl talk activation Mousse and the NYM curl talk sculpting gel for a few weeks now, but only for certain occasions I want to make my hair more defined, however I do wish to be able to use this hairstyle on a daily basis, however I have noticed some people don't use it everyday. About how long could the products be used until wash day?

LOVEEE this product.
Talk about a product that keeps your curls POPPIN all day. This right here is my holy grail hair product. It really helps activate your natural curl pattern and controls that frizz (along with just a LITTLE bit of the sculpting gel). After applying this product on my wash day i barely have to refres...

Love the product, hate the top
I love this product but the spray top breaks off every single time. It is terribly made. Please get a new spray top so I can use this again. I've given up due to the waste now.

Nozzle broke.
I liked it but the nozzle broke. I bought this small size for vacation so I was pretty annoyed. Will be returning hopefully.
Horrible product! Broke off tons of hair.
This product is one of the worst things ive ever used in my hair. So much of my hair broke off and I used their heat protectant too. Do not buy this super damaging mousse.
Lightweight hold with no crunch
Hair Type Wavy Hair
For context I have waist length 2B hair and I don't have to use a lot to cover my entire head. The scent is pleasant and not overwhelming. The hold is light, which is what I prefer so it doesn't weigh down my hair. The hold doesn't last more than two days for me but I have to wash my hair and treat my scalp every other day anyways so that's no biggie for me.
AMAZING
I love this product it is sooo good!! I have atleast bought 3 and i will keep buying forever! Its goes in the hair easily and smoothly and it gives a nice crunch it leaves the hair not frizzy shiny and bouncy!!!!!! The only thing is i am sad that that the price went up! And somtimes comes out liquidy!
Gave my hair more volume, and smells great

This curl defining mousse was the first mousse I've ever tried, and I'm a fan of this brand. I have curly hair that I typically straighten, so I was excited to try this and see if I'll like more curls more. However I had to watch videos to know how to use it since the instructions weren't too clear.. I washed my hair then applied it to damp hair. When I sprayed it on my hands, what looked like a little amount started to grow, so keep that in mind. Then I rubbed my hands together and applied it to my hair. Then I finger coiled each strand. I had to keep wetting my hair since it was drying too fast and becoming sticky. After I finished, I blow dried it a bit since my hair felt sticky and crunchy. This made my hair get more volume, which I love, but my curls lost their shape and my hair remained stiff. It did help with the frizz though. I think I used it wrong or applied too much product since my hair still feels crunchy, so I would need to try it a few times to get the hang of it. It does smell great though so that's a plus!
