Most Helpful Positive Review Great for Natural Curls! Mousse is the key to styling my thick, medium-long curly hair. I loved the Kenra Volume Mousse when I was doing the blow-dry and hot-rollers routine (curling irons take too long when you have this much hair), but set it aside when I started rocking my natural curls again. I had gone back to using Tresseme's curly mousse, but they ruined their product last year by changing the light scent that dissipated when dry to a heavy, overpowering, headache-inducing perfume that takes lots of hot water and multiple shampoos to get out. So it was back to the drawing board for me. I've tried several curly-hair products, and found a couple okay ones, but nothing to write home about. I also found more migraine-inducing ones, because for some reason, manufacturers think we want strangers to be able to smell our hair products from miles away (note to manufacturers: We don't. Heavy fragrances are rude and unprofessional and make us -and others- sick.) While cleaning my bathroom shelf, I saw my can of Kenra Mousse and thought, why not? So I tried it on my natural curls for the first time and wowza! My curls are light and fluffy, sexy and defined. There's no crunchy gel feeling, no heavy greasy/oily feeling, the light scent dissipates when dry, and no alcohol to dry my hair out. Next day hair is easy- I mist with water, scruching in additional mousse if needed. I never thought about using this on my natural curls, but I'm so glad I did! My hair looks and feels amazing. Thank you, Kenra!
Most Helpful Critical Review Disappointed I have been using Alterna's Bamboo Weightless Whipped Mousse and for a few years and loved it. It was perfect for my fine, thin, hair and gave it non-sticky volume and light/med hold. It came time to order more and I couldn't find it in stock anywhere which leads me to believe it's been discontinued. :( So I began the processing of looking for something comparable and decided to try Kendra Volume Mousse 12. Based on reviews and the product description it sounds like what I was getting with Alterna. WRONG. It is soooo heavy, I only use a small amount because of my hair texture and it feels and looks greasy, no volume at all, and oily the following morning. I am so disappointed, I spent too much for a mousse that doesn't deliver on it's claims.

Betts from Raynham MA
This is a nice mousse, not smelly but didn't hold or add much volume. A lot of shaking didn't make it very foamy either but it was okay. I returned it for a stronger hold type, Kenra #17. It's a challenge to find a product that works and doesn't overwhelm with unnecessary perfume, Kenra isn't bad in that respect.
This is an awesome hair product! 5
Sun child from Rochester NY
I put this on wet hair and blow dry. Styles your hair really nice.
Liquid mess 2
Lexie from Appleton
This seriously comes out as liquid not a mousse at all. With the price tag it should be thick and luxurious, And yes i do shake it. My herbal essences mousse for $3 works better
Nozzle doesn't work 3
Dissapointed from New Mexico
The product comes out liquid and not foam.
Definitely 5

Not delivrry
Not sure about this one yet - sill deciding 3
JAB from Grove City, OH
It takes a LOT of shaking to get this into mousse form, instead of a runny liquid mess.
Best Mousse Out There 5

Not worth the money 1

It dried my hair out. 😬
One of my favorite products 5
Gingersnap from Fresno, ca
Use Kendra mousse every time I wash my hair. Apply it to my damp hair and then blow dry
Yes, I will definitely be buying this product again! 5
Rose from Bonita Springs, FL
I used this product after shampooing & conditioning, right before blow drying. Did what it says, great body!!!
Great for fine, flat hair 5
Olive from OC
I have very fine hair that is always flat and never holds a curl. I put this in base to ends before I blow dry and my hair is fuller and totally holds a curl all night. It's not crunchy and I can still run my fingers through my hair, it's so perfect. Will not style my hair without putting this in from now on.

I would buy this again! 5
Debra from New Kent, VA
This is a great mousse with a pleasant smell and no sticky residue. Provides great volume with no stiffness. I would definitely purchase again.
Soft Finish 3
bacuna25 from Phoenix, AZ
This mousse left my hair a little too soft. I have fine, naturally curly hair and it weighed my hair down especially on humid days. By mid day my curls were a frizzy mess despite finishing with hairspray. Too bad Ulta no longer carries the KMS brand. Haven't found a mousse that compares. I'll have to try Volume Mousse 17 in this brand.
Yes 5
Deb from Rapid City SD

Definite must have!! 5

Works really well with my fine hair 5
Sarah from Houston, TX
I have short, fine hair and this helped me achieve the look I wanted. A little goes a long way - doesn't feel sticky and keeps my hair voluminous all day even in Houston humidity. LOVE THIS.
Kenra Volume Mousse 12 5
ShopsalotinFLA from FL
This mouse keeps my thick hair in place. You don'e need to use a lot of it either to get the hold you want.
I love this!! My hait isn't too crunchy. 5
lisa from rockford, il
This works great!
it smells awfull 1
KG from New Jersey
I bought it because I like the #17, but sometimes it can be too 'firm', thought the #12 + conditioning would be great, but I can't take the smell. It smells like ammonia. What is that about.
Great Product 5
Debbie from Randolph MA
Gives a fullness to your hair
