Q: I have very fine hair but don't want a product that will weigh my hair down or sticky, crunchy, but do want some volume, will this work for me?
submitted by Donnalloyd1955 - 2 years ago
A: Thanks for reaching out! Our Style+Care Nourishing Curls Defining Mousse-All Day Hold Mousse is made for defining curls, but you can check out our Volume & Fullness Mousse for help with volumizing.
I have purchased this item many times and love it but the canisters break and do not work. I do not have money to waste on products that end up being thrown away because the bottle is defective.

Pro tip: store the can upside down

I love this stuff, have for many years. The tip to not having to shake it or it “stopping” half way through is to store it upside down. @Dove product design team, it would be great if the can could be designed to be sold and stored this way.

I have bought this product 2 times and both times the can stops working about 1/2 thru. It's expensive and I like the product but will not be buying it any more. I have shaken the can and turned it upside down. Nothing.

I love this mousse, better than more expensive ones, but it clogs quickly so won't be wasting my money again. I used hot water to unclog which worked for a handful of time. It's incredibly frustrating because I like the product but is useless if it doesn't come out of the container.

SenSen - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
The nozzle ruined a product I really enjoyed. Unfortunately, other reviews are true. The nozzle stopped working halfway through for me. However, this formula was perfect for my fine curly hair. It gave me bouncy curls without the crunchy feel. Please Dove! Fix the nozzle on this mousse so I can go back to using it.

Heavy/oily/defective nozzle
1 out of 5 stars
Would not recommend
KG87 - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
I read reviews complaining about the nozzle but the one shown was different than what was shown in the reviews so I thought maybe they improved it. They did not. It didn't even get through the whole first squirt before not working properly. The mousse itself also felt super oily and way too heavy to the point where I ended up washing it out of my hair. I've never been so disappointed with a hair product before especially since I've always been happy with the other Dove products I've used. I returned mine and would never recommend it as it is currently.

Dispensing Trouble
2 out of 5 stars
- 2 months ago
originally posted on dove.com
From the looks of the other recent reviews I gather this product is no longer available? I haven't had a problem finding it. In fact I bought it twice BECAUSE, and the purpose of my review, is that despite loving the product, I have to shake my arm out of its socket to get the mousse out of the can. Originally thought the can was defective and bought another one. Same issue. It's a lot of work to get a palm full of mouse out of the can, and then to have to do the same thing all over again for another application. Too bad. This formula works great.s

This is the best mousse I’ve ever used on my fine curly hair! It holds the shape of my curls so well, and doesn’t leave my hair stiff. I like to use it alongside a curly holding gel on damp hair, and scrunch out the cast with hair oil once it dries (best way to prevent frizz!) The smell is pleasant and not overpowering at all. I saw another reviewer mention to leave the can upside down so product is always on the nozzle, so I’ve had no issue dispensing it (have had it for two months!) Dove, please don’t ever discontinue this product!

I used this 2 and 1/2 times. Half way through the last use it stopped dispensing. I shook it extremely well but the nozzle just doesn't work anymore after 2 and 1/2 times of use. It was not a heavy mousse and worked great with my fine hair. The nozzle looks the same as the one on my Biolage but sure doesn't work the same.

CSG - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
Had high hopes, and it actually works pretty well on my long, fine, curly hair on most days. It doesn’t hold up on rainy/humid days at all, not even a little bit. I won’t be repurchasing though. It smells terrible - floral grandma - and the scent does not fade. Can’t recommend for anyone who is sensitive to fragrance or just does not enjoy a very strong floral smell.

Bottle needs fixing!

Momof3 - 3 months ago
The mousse itself is great. I was so happy when I saw it back on the shelves. However, I have bought 3 already and probably less than half way through something happens and it does not dispense the mousse. At first I thought my daughter broke it but just recently my daughter and son, who have their own cans, have told me the same problem has happened. The product just does not come out for whatever reason. Fix the bottle because we love the mousse!
