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

Best Mousse Out there

16 hours ago
This mousse was great. It works fantastic for curly hair and really defines them. I have a kid who loves being outside and sweats so much and this mouse keeps the hair in place. On top of that it smells very fresh and sweet, the packaging was easy to use ans for my child to use when they did their hair on their own, I would definitely purchase again

Love the hold I get when I use this mousse, I know most people will probably use it for curls which I have done also but I love to use it for a blow out. It gives me such great volume and smells amazing. 10/10 highly recommend

A great solution for longer, frizzy and curly hair.

22 hours ago
For my long curly (and often unruly) hair, this foamy mousse works great! It keeps my hair in place throughout the day so I don’t have to worry about it getting too poofy. There’s no odd shine and minimal frizz. It also doesn’t make my hair feel hard or heavy which is nice. I will certainly keep using this.

Good stuff

23 hours ago
This product worked pretty well with my locs. It smelled good and it didn’t take much to get it to do its job. It didn’t flake once it dried, nor did it leave any buildup. The only thing I didn’t like about it was that I wanted a little more hold from it than it offered. My curls fell fairly quickly.

Great curls

a day ago
I haven’t used mousse in a long time so I didn’t know what to expect. I was genuinely surprised that my curls came out almost identical to the product I currently use which is significantly more expensive. This changes my outlook on mousse because it didn’t leave my hair hard like the one I used before. I recommend giving this a try.

It holds my curls in place all day. No fizz

a day ago
I was skeptical at first since it was so light I didn’t think it could hold. I was wrong lasted all day. Kept a strong hold and it smells good too. It definitely a go to product for me now and it is a lot easier to wash out then my hair gel. It’s a good product and I am happy to have it in my arsenal of products for my curly hair.

Not for me

a day ago
I didn't like this at all past the part where it mildly tames. I already knew I would hate the scent, and did. It's sticky, does not leave a shine, and has very mediocre hold. It doesn't last long. It's like I didn't use anything at all a few hours later. 3a/b hair

Too heavy and drying for my fine hair

a day ago
I really wanted to like this mousse but it somehow both dried out my hair and weighed it down. It has a pleasant smell and a thick consistency, but it doesn’t seem to hold more than one day. I’ll continue to try it out and maybe I’ll learn a good process for it.
