OUTSTANDING! The Perfect Garnier Combo Recipe to Follow

13 years ago
I regularly use Garnier Curl Calm Down Anti Frizz Cream when I want to let my hair air dry....and it works great. Last night I was at the store and decided to pick up the Garnier Curl Construct Mousse because I like to use mousse when I blow dry my hair with a diffuser - This morning, I actually read the back of the anti-frizz cream bottle and it said for best results to add mousse TOO! SOOOO, I put in a quarter-size drop of the anti-frizz cream, then a handful of the curl construct mousse, and the results ARE MORE THAN AMAZING. I have never, ever, ever, loved my curls more! I have been complimented at work all morning! Please try this combo - you will NOT be disappointed! Simply wonderful

The product's quality and assembly require attenti

7 months ago
This has been one of my favorite hair products until my last purchase. I am writing to express my dissatisfaction. The previous order was not up to standard, and I must report that both mousse bottles dispensed a non-foaming product. Furthermore, the nozzles detached during use, resulting in product loss from both bottles. I am currently evaluating whether to attempt a third purchase of this product or explore alternative options. 😠 🧴 💔 #HairProducts #Dissatisfaction #ProductLoss #CustomerService

Defines curls beautifully while keeping hair soft, bouncy, and frizz-free.

11 hours ago
I was pleasantly surprised by how well this mousse worked on my curls. It helps define them without making my hair feel crunchy or stiff, which is something I often struggle with when using styling products. The texture is light and easy to distribute, and it adds a nice amount of volume while keeping frizz under control. My curls stayed bouncy throughout the day, and the product didn't leave any sticky residue. Overall, it's a great option for enhancing natural curls without weighing them down.

Nice mousse

a day ago
I’m used to used the more watery foam mousse and this is a classic mousse, but it worked well with my routine. It expands a lot when it comes out of the can so a little goes a long way. I use it as the last step of my routine and scrunch it in. My curls came out defined and shiny. Smells good too. Great product if you’re on a budget but still want quality hair products!

Curly hair approved

I have naturally curly hair that I am trying to wear more often, so this is a great product for my curly hair method, it doesn’t leave my hair feeling overly crunchy. But I also really liked it for doing a blowout as well. Very versatile product that I could for sure see myself using over the summer.

Great hold lightweight mousse

2 days ago
I’ve been converted to mousse because of this. It is not overly drying and doesn’t flake. My curls do not curl without product and cast AND a diffuser but I was able to get a beautiful curl with just leave in and this mousse. I even took a leap of faith and left the gel at home bringing just the mousse on vacation!!! My hair was amazing and I even have changed my mind about what I need for a great hair day. I have used it daily and will continue. Only note that while it holds, it feels sticky on day 2 hair and i feel like an extra wash is needed.

Great for volumizing

3 days ago
I love this product and I’ve been using this to get volume at my roots when blow drying my hair and styling it. It adds a great hold and very little residue. The packaging is sleek! I haven’t noticed it adding any shine to my hair. It isn’t the strongest mousse but it gives more natural and less crisp results.
