Will this product be accepted by TSA? I want to take a flight, but can't live without this product.
- Asked by Alex
- Official Answer By Not Your Mother's - BEHi there! Thank you for your question. Yes, the TSA generally allows passengers to carry travel-sized hair sprays in their carry-on luggage. These products must comply with the liquid restrictions to be transported in the airplane cabin. According to TSA rules, liquids, gels, and aerosols should be in individual containers of 3.4 ounces or less and placed in a clear, zip-top plastic bag of one quart. One bag per passenger is allowed. It's advisable to check the specific TSA regulations and airline policies before traveling to ensure compliance with all restrictions and requirements.

I am looking for a product to hold curls made with hot tools.NOT a hairspray, but something like a mousse that would hold curls for more than just an evening. I thought:on freshly washed and towel dried hair - maybe a mousse, then a heat protectant, if needed, and then use a hair curler/dryer tool?

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.

Goopy and sticky
Amazing Product
Hair Type Wavy Hair
The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because after a few uses the nozzle no longer dispenses correctly. It does not foam out anymore, and only dispenses liquid to hardly anything. If that wasn't an issue, it'd easily be a 10/10. The product itself is amazing but the dispense of it is a bit flawed.
Just dont
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I wish so could select zero stars This crap is so sticky it pulls your hair out with every stroke; don't bother

GOING ON MY 3RDDDD
LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEE!!!!! I mainly use this for slickbacks not curls though because my hair is wavy not curly lol. Butttttt I have tried to curl my hair and it does work!!!! I put a little in my damp hair and scrunch and my hair stays curly. So from my expiernce with not-so curly hair, it seems to work pretty well! Now for slickbackss.... AMAZING!!!! I have used so many products for slickbacks and this is the best one. It lasts ALL day so well, my fly aways stay down, it's easy to style because I have time to style and make it perfect before it dries, and it makes my hair look slick and shiny!!! I used lots at the beach when it was super windy, so I had hair that wasn't annoying but was still so cute. I used a bunch and I still have lots left. Great about and very affordable. 11/10 recommend!!!
Great Mousse! Not drying or crunchy!
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I have 2c/3a curl pattern. When applied to wet hair and allowed to dry this creates a 'cast' around the curls. Once dry break the cast and you will have frizz free and bouncy curls. Helps my curls last for 2-3 days.
