Most Helpful Positive Review Saved My Unruly Locks! With 3b curls that are dry, coarse, long, tangly and graying...I've been struggling lately. I want so badly to keep my hair long and grow it longer than I've ever had the patience to. I purchased this Ouidad VitalCurl mousse today (last one on the shelf!), because I was desperately trying to just get my hair to look good. I got home with my new product and hit the shower right away. After washing/conditioning I put a bit of my previously purchased Ouidad VitalCurl Tress Effects Gel in my palm and added a a nice dollop of this mousse on top and mixed it together until no foam remained and I was left with a wonderfully slippery gel-consistency. I repeated the process once more to make sure I coated everything. I used an Olivia Garden brush to distribute the product and let it dry naturally. It didn't take as long to fully dry as when I use my gel with other hair creams and my hair had a cast that was so perfect it still looked wet when it was fully dry. I was so happy with the results that I feel like I can let this unruly mom keep on growing. At least my ponytail would look good and not a frizzy mess like it usually does. This is THE one product from Ouidad that I feel I can't do without. Granted, I haven't used it by itself but when a curly girl finds her perfect recipe, it's a challenge to stray from it for fear of ruining the outcome. As a side note, I have used the gel mentioned above by itself and I loved the curl formation, however, it's a very foamy gel once I start applying it and it makes a squooshing noise and turns white. If your hair loves the Tress Effects Gel, try mixing it with this amazing Tress Effects VitalCurl Mousse. I hope you'll have the amazing results I got with this cocktail. HG status!
Most Helpful Critical Review Dried out my hair and poor customer service I received a gift card for Christmas and was very excited to try out Ouidad. I used the Classic Curls shampoo and conditioner for about a week. I tried just the mousse, just the shampoo, and then just the refresher. And each day my hair became more and more dry. By the end of the week my hair felt brittle and straw-like. I thought my hair would break off it I put a brush to it. I tried contacting customer service and before I even had a chance to speak to someone I was on hold for over 10 minutes. Then when the person came on, we were disconnected. Since, I didn't have time to be on hold again, I sent and email. I explained that my hair just isn't working with their product and that I bought the items with a gift card. I asked what my options were for a return. It took 5 days for a reply and they said I could only get credit back on the gift card. So, I guess I'll have a gift card for a product that ruins my hair. Great :/.

I'm currently working getting better curl definition and after using this product for the past few weeks I have seen improvement! It also plays nice with my favorite leave in conditioner and diffuser. I think this product is easy to use and worth trying out.
Amazing 5
jackee from CA
I used the bowl method with this product and WOW! I can't believe how my hair went from obviously damaged sad loose and frizzy curls to bouncy curls I haven't seen in 10 years. It is pricey but I have yet to find such a light mousse like this one. Most curly products weigh my hair down and make it feel stiff and like it needs to be washed. HIGHLY recommend if you have been straightening your hair and trying to get your curls back.
Worth it 5
Holly S. from Undisclosed
Favorite mousse so far and I really like the smell. It's lighter and doesn't have a heavy artificial fragrance. My curls are incredibly soft and bouncy. Would purchase again!
do not recommend 1
Michele .. from Undisclosed
i heard great things about this product but I found it to be similar to most mouse products, where it makes your hair crunchy. i do not recommend.
Good ingredients but not great results 3
3a/3b hair from USA
This is one of the few mousses that are CGM approved but this product didn't provide much of a hold at all, left my hair very frizzy, and this is kind of pricey
I love curl defining foams 3
Claudia M. from Undisclosed
I love curl defining foams and Ouidad used to have a great one that they discontinued so I tried this one. It works just ok. Additionally the nozzle is supposed to be some kind of modern approach but doesn't actually work so that's a drag. And finally, why oh why don't they make travel size for foams?
Soft curls 4
Debra G. from Undisclosed
I'm happy with it. I do find it works better if hair is wet rather than towel dried. Curls are more defined and much less frizz. Will definitely continue to use.
I have been using all 5

I have been using all Ouidad products for so long
Good product 5
Thomas L. from Undisclosed
I've added this to my daily shower routine. I think it fluffs my hair a bit so it is more soft and not as stiff. A lot comes out at a time so be careful!
Love this mousse! It is 5
Krista G. from Undisclosed
Love this mousse! It is one of the best curl mosses I have ever used! Leaves my hair soft and frizz free. I can also restyle it for days before I need to wash and reapply more product.
Nope. Never again. 1
Annie from Green Bay, Wisconsin
I use this when I wash. At first I was thrilled, but then I realized how much I had to use. TWO BIG HANDFULS for my hair. There isn't much substance to this mousse so it is watery in your hands right away and the container is almost empty after 3 weeks. I'm not wasting my money again. It's very irritating. I wish I could get a refund.
Holy Grail 5
Jessica from Nebraska
I have very fine 2b/2c waves. My main concern is frizz, but my hair is so fine products tend to weigh it down. This does not! It weightlessly defines my waves, and I have pretty much no frizz even though it is humid where I live. The only time this was overly crunchy was when I used way too much.
Ouidad is the best mousse 5
Diana H. from Undisclosed
Ouidad is the best mousse i have found for my curly, coarse hair. I purchased the soft defining mousse and it gives my hair soft waves that hold all day. It smells great too! The first time I used it, my friends all said that my hair has never looked so good.
Great product for curly hair 5
Theresa M. from Undisclosed
Works very well with curls.
Will keep on list 4
Sami from Pittsburgh, PA
I do love this product , the only cone is that it makes my hair stiff like hair spray . But my curls and waves last for days ( all I do is wet my hair put tons of product in, scrunch my hair and done ) my hair is thick and slightly wavy when wet , but when I brush it becomes straight and stays that way. But when I put this in OMG my curls and waves come out in droves , it's so pretty . I aam going to try Paul Mitchell next, but this will definitely be staying on the list. Will buy again.
Not enough hold, hair frizzed. 1

Not good 2
Jess from Texas
The smell is weird and my hair still ended up crunchy. I haven't liked anything I've tried from this brand.
Curls are beautiful but….. 4
Marilyn M. from Undisclosed
This mousse does bring out beautiful curls. However, my hair is very fine and it makes my hair the texture of cotton candy. With the slightest breeze the formed curls and body are all gone. Would not recommend for fine hair.
Best decision I ever made for my hair! 5
Gracie from Undisclosed
I have always used curl cream products over a mousse or gel. But let me tell you, I started using the whole vita curl line (shampoo, conditioner, mousse, and gel) and it has transformed my curls. I used the mousse gel mousse method and it's amazing. Before Ouidad, I was using a natural hair care brand and my curls were undefined and barely curly. My hair is fine and has curl patterns of both coils and S curls and this line defined each curl so nicely. When using this, my hair has no frizz, it is very defined, and it has volume when I diffuse. I have only used my vita curl products a handful of times so far and I will never use anything else. Cannot recommend this line enough. If you're on the fence, I would go ahead and get it if you can! Products make all the difference with curls and these products are definitely worth it.
Love!!!! 5
Brooke from Alabama
I have never been a mouse person before. This was on sale during the hair event so I decided to try it out! So glad I did. It gives me more volume and hold!!!
Pleasantly Surprised! 5
Bethany H from Florida
I ordered this on a promotion, and went in with mid level expectations. I typically use the Climate Control gel because I live in Florida and ya girl needs humidity protection, so I figured this mousse would give me a light hold that would last maybe a day. Well it's well into day 2 and my curls still look amazing!
I used this mousse yesterday in addition to a leave in conditioner and that's it. I am so surprised by the hold level of this mousse, it's quite soft but I have great definition and spring. I did have to use quite a bit of the product to coat my hair but I think that's a price I'm willing to pay.
Also, it smells wonderful in my opinion.
Best mousse ever! 5
Kyleigh from CA
I have been a mousse user for a long time and have used many different brands. This is by far the best mousse I have ever used. It somehow gives the right amount of hold without making my hair crispy and is also sooo moisturizing without being overly so. My hair always feels wonderful after using this product and I never feel like it builds up. Will forever repurchase.
It's FANTASTIC!! Wonderful hydration, my 5
