Q: An this be used with a curling iron for mor lasting curls

submitted by Sharon - 7 months ago
  • A: Great question, Sharon! It’s typically not a good idea to use any mousse products with a curling iron, even the Not Your Mother’s Curl Talk Activating Mousse. The brand recommends putting it on damp hair and letting it air-dry or blow-dry completely before styling. If you use it on dry hair and then apply heat, it can make your hair feel sticky or crunchy.

Q: Can you explain the difference between the Not Your Mother’s mousse and foam?

submitted by LaDuty - 11 months ago
  • A: Hey, Great question! Both the Not Your Mother's Curl Talk Activating Mousse and Foam are great for hydration and curl retention. The texture of the Not Your Mother's Curl Talk Foam has a more weightless texture in comparison to the mousse formula.

    Activating Curl Talk Mousse

    The cap is such a pain in the butt. I don’t think I ever used a hair product that was so tricky to use. I’m pretty sure it’s broken now. It didn’t do much for my hair either.

    Thick mousse, nice smell

    I hadn't used mousse in many years so got this small bottle to try. It works great for curl defining, soft hold, and creating body and fullness to my hair.. I, personally, don't like the feeling of the mousse in my hair so it won't be an every day use for me. But it seems to do what it's designed to do.

    Not Worth It

    Pretty sticky and leaves hair crunchy. Main issue for me was that the nozzle broke after a month. Poor quality and waste of money.
