Overview
Curly-haired people who want lift without crunch get a lightweight mousse that adds volume from the roots and a flexible hold. Rice protein, agave and bamboo extract do the work while the formula skips silicones and drying alcohols.
Moisture and hold arrive in one step, which suits curls that dry out under stiff foams. Directions for use are missing from the listing, and the soft hold will not lock a set in place.
Who it's for
Wavy to coily heads that want bounce and definition with movement are the target. People with straight hair chasing strong hold or sleek styles should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Flexible hold without stiffness
- Silicone and paraben free
- No drying alcohols
- Adds moisture while styling
- Application directions not listed
- Soft hold, not for firm sets
- Container size appears only in the title
Performance notes
Lift comes from the rice protein working near the root, while agave and marshmallow root add slip and hold moisture so curls clump instead of frizzing. Hold stays flexible by design, so curls move rather than setting hard, and bamboo extract is there to add strength.
