Q: I have a couple questions: first of all, how long does the mousse last for? Also, if I bought one product for my wavy hair, would you recommend the curl cream or mousse? My hair is wavy and frizzy

submitted by maya - 2 years ago
  • A: Add some curl cream and then a mousse or gel to create the cast. Wait until the cast dries to scrunch the crunch or defuse the hair. A curling brush also helps to clump the curls.

    submitted bySarah M - 10 months ago
  • A: Great questions! I personally have type 2A fine wavy brunette hair that is medium porosity and thickness. My roots tend to be oily, but I also deal with frizz. I've been using this curl foam for like 6 months and the bottle still feels pretty full. If you have hair that tends to get weighed down by products easily, I'd recommend this foam over a mousse or cream. I've tried them all, and I personally like the foam best for my hair. A mousse would be the next step up in heaviness, and then the curl cream would be for hair that doesn't get weighed down at all by heavy products. I'd also suggest looking into your hair's porosity level, because that can make a big difference in product selection!Hope this helps! -Sarah

Q: I have used the curl foam for the past few years and loved it, but was disappointed with my last two bottles as the foam came out as half foam and half liquid. Has the product or pump changed?

Q: I have low-prosperity 3a hair - I have a hard time finding a product that will give my curls definition and volume. Does this foam ensure that or is the mousse better?

submitted by Anonymous - 11 months ago
  • A: Great question! Not Your Mother's Curl Talk Refreshing Curl Foam is designed to provide both curl definition and volume. The lightweight formula redefines curls, adds shine, and controls frizz without leaving a sticky residue or weighing hair down; however, individual results will vary.

Q: How many pumps are recommended to use for just-washed hair that’s fine and just past shoulder-length?

submitted by Lwizz - 1 year ago
  • A: Hi Lwizz! Thanks for reaching out! We would suggest starting with 1-2 pumps. Apply the product evenly to damp hair and distribute it well to define your curls. If you feel you need more definition or control, you can add an extra pump, but always adjust according to what your curls need! Would you be interested in receiving a personalized recommendation tailored to your hair type and needs? If so, we encourage you to reach out to our social media team.

Q: What's the difference between this product and your mousse, or is it another mousse? Calling it "foam" when you also have a mousse is confusing. How is it used? And is for dry hair, wet hair, both?

submitted by Erika - 3 years ago
  • A: Hi Erika! Thank you for your questions! Both products are different, and you can use them based on the style you want to achieve. For instance, our Curl Talk Refreshing Foam redefines and refreshes curls with a flexible hold, while our Curl Talk Activating Mousse adds definition and volume, acting as a curl enhancer. We recommend applying our Curl Talk Refreshing Foam to clean, damp hair to refresh and redefine curls, and If you would like a personalized recommendation based on your needs and hair type, we invite you to contact our social media team. They will be delighted to accompany you on this hair care journey and help you have the best experience with our products.

    Product Good, Dispenser Bad…

    I have purchased this product twice, and both times, the foam doesn’t come out of the pump as a foam—it comes out as a liquid that just runs out everywhere. :( I kept trying to use it after my first purchase, not wanting to waste it, and I can see that the product inside the bottle is really, really good! If it was in a spray bottle, it would be perfection. But given that it doesn’t foam, goes everywhere and makes a huge mess, and dispenses too much at a time as a result, I’m disappointed. Please fix the dispenser situation so I can use this!

    Defective Pump

    After one use, I was not able to get any foam! It comes out as a sticky liquid. I thought it was just the one I bought, but after reading the reviews, it seems I’m not the only one. Other than that, it works more like a gel than a foam. It does smell really good.

    Not really needed since I’m able to extend wash day routine by using mousse and gel and then dampen my hair on refresh days.

    Skip it

    Actually one of the worst products ive ever used on my curly hair. Its supposed to refresh but when i used it on day 2 curls it ruined everything. Makes ur hair string and spongey. Felt like i needed to wash my hair an hour after. Just skip this product, use a mousse to refresh, ive found its best. Definitely not for fine hair.

    Can't complain

    I have very long, thick 3A/3B Latina hair, and I love this as a refresher between washes. It is very light and moisturizing, with a flexible hold. It smells amazing, like a fresh citrus scent. I wash my hair 1x a week - these were my day 7 curls just before washing my hair. I had refreshed with the foam the previous day. In need of a wash in this photo, I know, but pretty good for day 7.

    Pump Doesn’t Work

    I really wanted to like this product. I LOVE the hold 3 gel as it’s not too heavy on my looser curl pattern, so I thought that would pair perfectly with this foam…absolutely not. First off, the pump is basically a workout for your finger (if you can press it down at fully to begin with), and even if you do the foam doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do, which is foam up! It just comes out as this watery liquid and maybe a slight foam if you’re lucky. Absolute waste of money and a real disappointment that apparently this is still an issue with their pumps. If you want a real foam, try Cake beauty gel to foam (my personal favorite and one I should’ve never strayed away from. Lesson learned I suppose).

    Best products around!

    The foam is literally the best thing I've found for curl refresh. I am able to get 2-3 extra days out of my curls because this product is so awesome.

    It’s watery. Doesn’t hold at all, unless you’re going for loose wave look. Overall just a waste, save your money

    Reformulation change is horrible

    This used to be a go-to product for me but after the formulation change it’s no longer effective for refreshing my waves. I used this product for years and always got foam consistency from the product, but now my last 2 bottles have had pump malfunctions that make the product come out watery and soapy instead of foamy. So disappointed.

    Another disappointing formulation change

    This product used to be 5/5 for refreshing my waves but the ingredients have changed and the pump barely works…the product now comes out as a slimy soapy texture instead of foam. It makes my hair stickier and doesn’t define my waves like it used to. So crushed.

    This used to be my holy grail hair care product for resurrecting my 2a waves after wash day. Over the past few months the pumps have been getting worse and worse, pumping out half-foam, half-liquid. Now, with my most recent bottle, I can’t even extract ANYTHING. If I’m lucky, I get straight liquid. Unusable. What’s going on!? I desperately want to use this stuff, but I physically can’t get it out of the container.
