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

6 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

Excelent product!

I thought it was a quick drying product and it’s very resistant packinging, its texture is very soft and left my hair very shiny. The best of all is its cost, and of course the duration.

this mousse gives my curls nice definition without making them stiff or crunchy. the texture is light and easy to apply, and i helps control frizz while keeping my hair soft. my hairs look more structured and last longer throughout the day. it doesn’t weight my hair down and adds a natural-looking finish. great fro everyday styling if you want defined but flexible curls.

Gets the job done fast!

This gets the job done! Fresh and doesn’t leave a heavy residue. There’s a slight crunch but for that you have to move and crunch your hair a bit after application but nothing too bad. Gives volume and helps with my quick curly or wavy hair look!

Stiff and Crunchy

3 days ago
I received the Garnier for this curl, constructive moose from influencer, and I have some mixed feelings about it. On the positive side, the scent is amazing. Definitely one of my favorite things about this product. It leaves your hair, smelling fresh and clean all day which I love. As for performance, it did define my curls at first, but I wasn’t a fan of how stiff and crunchy my hair felt. Once it dried I prefer a softer more natural look, and this didn’t quite give me that. I also noticed that the whole didn’t last very long so my curls fell pretty quickly throughout the day. Overall, it’s not terrible, but it’s probably not something I’d reach for regularly. If you like a strong hold and don’t mind a firmer texture it might work better for you, but for me the crunch factor was a bit too much.

Mousse

I love using mousse on my hair. The foam texture on my hand and then using it on my hair is such a good feeling. It was good packaging and holds really well, keeps my frizz down.
