Our Pick: The Best Foams & Mousses for Curly Hair
Back in the day, mousses and foaming gels lost their seemingly popular touch because of an unpleasant sticky after-feeling, clumping the hair strands together rather than holding them in place. But the modern-day formulas are super-hydrating and may even promise you the best hair of your life.
"It's important you first identify your curl type then find out what products are meant for you. This is so important because you could be using a product that's either too light or heavy for your curls which could either cause frizz, leave build-up, or leave your strands limp."
said hairstylist Irinel de León.
Curly hair folks have probably never had it easy, and nearly every day turns into a bad hair day. However, life can become rosy again if you know your hair type and needs and the right mix of products that can turn your hair from drab to fab.
