Overview

Not a stiff, crunchy styler, Dove Style + Care Curls Defining Mousse has a whipped, lightweight texture. Spread through damp, towel dried hair, it defines curls and guards against frizz and flyaways with its Nutri-Style Complex.

Dove adds care to styling, so curls get definition and bounce while the hair is protected from frizz and static. The hold strength is not given.

Who it's for

Bouncy curls and waves that need shape without crunch suit this mousse. Straight hair looking only for lift should use a volume mousse instead.
