The Wave Whip Curling Mousse helps your curls thrive with each use and leaves out harsh ingredients like mineral oil, sulfates, parabens, silicones, phthalates, gluten, paraffin, and propylene. To achieve optimal results, apply the Wave Whip Curling Mousse to wet hair, and then scrunch hair upward toward the scalp. Hold, then release.

Q: Will this product curl your hair? I have naturally straight hair.
submitted by Emily - 3 years ago
A: Hi! The Cantu Wave Whip Curling Mousse was created to help define and enhance natural curls, coils, and waves. This product will not create curls if you have naturally straight hair. Have you ever tried a flexi rod or perm rod set to help you get the curly look you desire? If not, give it a try using our wave whip! You won’t regret it.

Was excited to try because of the advertising of lightweight and crunch free. But this made my hair feel sticky, frizzy and if anything it made my hair look greasy. Would not recommend. I will be returning.

Product did not make hair curly or wavy. It seems as if it’s mostly made up of water. So it made my hair look wet until it dried and then it was dry and tangled.
Love this mousse!

This is a great affordable product! It smells wonderful and never weighs my thin, wavy hair down. It adds a great amount of volume and moisture and is never crunchy. Using this makes a noticeable difference on my wave pattern. A little goes a very long way. Highly recommend.

Can't really tell what this is doing. Minimal hold, doesn't fight frizz. Two starts bc smells fine and oomphs up the body in my hair a smidge.
Not enough hold for my hair type

Not the right product for my type of hair and curl. I have thick hair that frizzes and lacks curl definition without product. This product is a very light foam and requires quite a bit for my hair if used alone. Instead, I use it after the curling cream to help control the frizz on the ends. It’s also good for refreshing curls later in the day. May work better with finer hair.
Great for all hair types

I have curly hair that tends to frizz without product in my hair. I love how this is naturally wetter than normal mousse so i have a little longer to style it. It's not heavy and doesn't get as stiff as regular mousse.
Wouldnt buy again

I should've paid more attention to the product description -- I'm a fan of scrunching out the crunch since I wash my hair at night and sleep on it. I tried using this mousse to replace a curl cream (which was more like a creamy gel) and that was not a good replacement! The mousse is nice and fluffy, but does absolutely nothing to hold a style in place. I sleep on my side and when I wake up one side is completely flat and lifeless. I can use the mousse then to revive the curls, but now we're just adding time to my AM routine when I'd rather do all this at night, scrunch it out in the morning, and just go! I'm not sure if I will keep this product in my go-to line long term since some water/conditioner mix tends to work just as well to revive curls for me. I'll have to try diffusing with it one day since that's the only time I don't like a crunch. But if you like mousse products and don't expect it to hold your style together, this could definitely be for you. Just not my cuppa. I think I will try a Cantu gel instead.
Terrific

This stuff is basically magic for curly/wavy hair. I use it to refresh curls on the second and third day after washing and it's amazing. It also smells great! Considering how expensive so many curly hair products are, this is well worth giving a try!

I only bought this because my regular go to mousse was out of stock. I’m so glad they were Out because I wouldn’t of tried this amazing product. My old mousse would leave flakes on my hair and clothes and I thought that was normal. It also would make my hair super hard and heavy. This curling mousse is so weightless and my waves look so natural. My hair and clothes no longer have flakes. I’m so happy I found this product.

I love that it is on the affordable side and a great product to start your curly hair journey on. It feels really light on the hair and easy to use.
Not worth it.

Not for me. Made my hair so sticky and frizzy. It had almost no hold, my waves never got as wavy as normal and fell out almost immediately. I returned this after only a few uses.

Doesn't work at all for me. I have more success with oil and hairspray. Not sure if it's my hair type (fine), or this is just not a good product.
Great mousse!

My hair always looks great when using Cantu Whip Mousse.. it provides definition to curly hair wether wet or blow drying. My curls are manageable without feeling crispy or sticky. Smells good too. Would definitely recommend this no matter what ethnicity you are.
