Curly Find: Dove Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse

Living in a country where straight hair rules, finding a good styling product for the curly hair is such a pain in the ey-ess-ess. For the past few months, I've been experimenting on different hair products, mixing and jumbling all sorts of creams, mousse, gels, etc etc. Product after product, layers after layers. I honestly sometimes feel like going back to straight hair is way easier and economical, than spending so much money on hair products, but then I do love my current buhahag hairstyle- I feel some sense of uniqueness and personality with this kind of hair- so I think I wold just go on with this journey and just enjoy every part of it.

So, today, I thought I would share my experience with this Dove Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse. This is by far, my favorite mousse cream for my curly hair. Let me tell you some of my opinions regarding this product.

1. SMELL -

Oh. Goodness. I love the smell of this one right out of the can. This is the best-smelling mousse I've tried so far. Gosh. It smells like freshly-washed hair. I commend Dove for making their products so fragrant! Although, at some point, few hours after application, it does smell like a rusted can or a chemical burning somewhere.

2. CONSISTENCY -

Very similar to a whipped cream. Other mousse tend to be on the watery side, but not this one. It upholds to the term "whipped cream".

3. USAGE / RESULTS

Lemon-sized amount for each side of the hair. I use this after putting a bit of Monea curl defining milk lotion on my hair.
If you use this after and/or together with curl defining milk lotion, it will act as a gel and it can hold curls up to four hours. Putting too much will harden the hair (just like that of a gel) so use it sparingly if you don't want stiff hair.
Use this alone (and sparingly), it will create soft airy curls without much definition.

4. PRICE + AVAILABILITY

300plus pesos at Watsons (or any other beauty store nationwide)

All in all, I think this is a great product. I love it, actually.

But, I am still on the look out for the best out there in the market. I do feel like there is still better product than this. But then, I'm happy this product did not fail me miserably.

One thing to point out though is that there is no one kind of curly hair so this product works differently on different people. It works differently everyday even on my hair. Also, be mindful of the condition of your hair, humidity, pollution, lifestyle etc.etc.So, basically, the results may vary.

Oh,and before I forget, if you are like me who loves to bring hair product on her bag, you might hate this one because the cap is always always coming off. Because of this defect, the nozzle has huge tendency to break,just like mine and I wasn't able to finish all the product in the can -- such a waste of money.

And of course, just like the rest of my reviews, I will leave you all with a little narcissist selfie. This is me few hours after applying Dove Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse on my curly hair. I did not use any hai rstyling product on this pic, btw, just the Dove Mousse.

By the way, can please comment down below about your favorite hair styling product? I am really into hair phase right now and I would be very glad if you could recommend some wonderful products you've tried so far. And if you are like me who is on the curly side, can you suggest any hair product that I can use? Or your hair routine, maybe? I would really like to know and hear from you, I hope you can help me on my quest to find the perfect product for my hair.

Okay. So, that's just about it.

Thank you for droppin by my little web place.

See you on my next post.

Mwah~!!!

My PIERCINGS- Accidents, Stories, Reasons.. etc.

Elow elow elow Dear Reader! So, today, I bought new set of earrings and I realized, I haven't really talked about my piercing experience. So, I thought maybe I should answer some common questions about my piercings and piercing in general. How many piercings do you have? As of the moment, I have a total of six individual piercings. Three on the left ear, three on the right. When did you get them and why? 1. The first pair was done when I was four or five years old. I remember my father bringing me to a little health center and telling me to just tilt my head and that was it. I don't have much to say about this piercing because it was like a "default" kind of thing - sort of a tradition or one of those mandatory things a girl has to go through- so nothing special in this pair. Also, I was too young to remember how it felt like. Too young to even comprehend. But I remember being happy having the privilege to wear such pretty gold earrings. I had the rest ...

TURNING PAGES: Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell

When I was in kindergarten, I had a hard time understanding Math specifically the lesson in “greater than- less than-equal to” equations. My mother, being a teacher, helped me understand the lesson by using analogy . In a manner of storytelling, she told me that the sign corresponding greater than/less than/equal to is Pacman (the famous computer game back then), while the numbers in the equation represent the amount of apples . She told me I have to point Pacman’s mouth to the larger amount so he can eat more apples. I never failed at greater than/less than/equal to lesson ever again. SOURCE: h ttp://prekandksharing.blogspot.com/2012/08/montessori-inspired-greater-than-less.html Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell is a lot like my mom’s way of teaching me Math. It is composed of analogies and stories that helped me understand the wisdom behind success. It will not tell you what to do, it will ask you to analyze the roots of success and w...

Inspired by Mona Lisa Smile: Christian Dior Rouge Dolce Vita 014

Once a gay friend told me, "Red lipstick is so back then." I immediately replied back and told him a true lady would say otherwise. For a real woman, red lipstick is a timeless weapon to look and feel beautiful. My first lipstick is a red one and up until now, even if I have other shades of lipsticks, red will always be on my stash. So, today, I thought of highlighting the most precious red lipstick I own, my precious baby, Christian Dior’s Rouge Dolce Vita in #014. Timeless as it is, the inspiration for today's lipstick is the movie The Mona Lisa Smile which is set in 1950's. Just like the girls in the movie, Christian Dior’s Rouge Dolce Vita in #014 is not in-your-face retro red lipstick because it has a slight hint of orange. Source "That's a snapshot"- Mona Lisa Smile It has a semi-matte finish but very creamy, it glides smoothly on the lips when applied. This is not for the faint heart because it is too striking and...

Pieces of my Month: AUGUST 2015

Last year, I did some kind of a monthly gratitude list wherein I gather all images of important happenings in my life for that certain month. I never get to do that this year so I am planning to do it once more. It has helped me to become more positive in life even though I have been struggling with lots of things and that my life is too far from being perfect. Also, I want to realize that there are certain things I need to be grateful for because sometimes I am not able to see good things happening around me. So in accordance of my "coming back to blogging" thang and because this is also part of my birthmonth celebration, I am listing down some pieces of my August. Big part of my month is the celebration of my birthday with my family. We went to VIKINGS, a luxury all you can eat buffet. It was my first time there and I was just so happy to be with the whole family because I guess it was a rare chance that we get to eat out together as a whole. Being a Vikin...

MT. ROMELO, my first hiking experience

Last year, around May of 2015, i joined a group hike (it was my first) and though I experienced horrible physical pain, I feel like sharing it on this blog. The following paragraph was taken from my journal entry written few days after the climb. It was edited a bit to fit my present view. Climbing Mt. Romelo was one of the hardest travel experiences I've ever done in my entire life. It was the longest two days of my life and it felt like I traveled from the moon and back with my bare foot. I went there on a whim, a single invitation from a friend a day before the start of the journey. I didn't expect the hardship that I was about to encounter. It was the idea of adventure that led me to accept the invite. I admit I was excited, I felt like Bilbo Baggins. We started our climb in the middle of the night, around 8 or 9pm, I suppose. We put on our head lights and off we go. Photo before we ascend the mountain The steps became heavier and heavier as we a...
