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...

On Self-Acceptance

It was late September when I started "Marvellous Much." For two months, I labored myself from taking photos to writing to editing and then publishing. I took this as my own, my baby, my little sanctuary. Although I've done several blogs before, this is the first time I have ever done a blog that is somehow commercial and is focusing on a certain niche. I aim to create a professional blog on this one, something that I can give to the world. Every now and then, before I click the "publish" button, I would see myself stepping back and forth. I know I doubt myself so much. I always see myself as not good enough. Every time I would go public, things scream unto my head - words such as "what will they think of my work?" "Is this great?" "Will the people like it?" I hate this thing about myself. When you lack confidence, you lack strength. I hate myself for this. I hate that I sometimes hate myself. However, for the past two months, wi...

EOS Lip Balm, Overrated?

I was looking at old photos in my computer and I saw these cute pictures of EOS Lipbalm and I remembered how much I love this product but I shelved it for various reasons. EOS and I had some good times, you know. I enjoyed the days when kissing it feels fruity on my lips. But then, I have slowly fallen out of love from it. It wasn't because it was a horrible product but because it didn't last on me and I think there’s so many lip balms out there that offers better service than just cute packaging and fruity taste. Let me give you the details of our love story. This product became popular last year because of its cute packaging. So many beauty gurus raved about it but lately, it has been categorized under overrated product list. (Source) It got me into thinking if EOS lip balm is really an overrated product. Why did I shelved this product anyway? I remembered it was a year ago when I got my EOS lip balm in strawberry sorbet. Believe you me, I was so freaki...

BDJ FAIR 2015

This is my third time to go to this yearly event hosted by BDJ. First time, I went with a friend (Well, hello Ghem!). The next one, boyfie was with me. This time, I decided to just go by myself . I tried to maximize the event so I spent the whole afternoon going from one booth to another. I also pre-registered to two talks/seminars to get an insight or two. If you haven't heard of them yet, BDJ is a community of empowered bellas. Actually, it all started with a kikay planner- The Belle de jour Power planner. Then a community was formed involving mostly users of planners and kikay girls alike. As for me, I've been a BDJ planner user for five years. I go to the event (if time allows me to) because this is where I can buy the new and upcoming planner in a much lower price compared to its selling price. I bought my new planner for only 500 pesos as opposed to its original selling price of 580. Also, the event is actually pretty cool. You can go around, win some fu...

Wedding Bliss: The Importance of Wedding Coordinator (Quintessence Philippines)

I am quite surprised that even after being married for almost a year now, I still get a ton of queries regarding wedding details and such. One common question I get is this: "Do I really need a wedding day coordinator?". My answer is always, always this big YES. Well, based on my experience, you can get away without an over-all full wedding coordinator because you can do the planning alone. However- and very important, I must say, that you get an on-the-day-coordinator . And please do get a legit one, not your friends or family, but a professional wedding coor. (Your friends want to enjoy the moment, too, so please don't give them yet another job to do. They can assist you in little things, but please leave everything to a legit coor.) Some reasons why I think a professional on-the-day wedding coordinator is a must: 1. Stress-free wedding. The least I wanted to be during my wedding is to be the stressed-bride. I have been to weddings without coordinators and I tell...

Where Have I Been

I can't believe I am here again typing for another blog post. I thought I am so over blogging that I never thought of going back a year later. My last post was 2018 and even then, my posts are not that regular. So why go back? Because when I looked back at what I have posted, I realized blogging has helped me in some way to document my life. I admit I wished I could have posted more. I guess I was so focused on what to write rather than on why I write. This time I want to blog for my own self expression and documentation. That is, after a year of hiatus, I realized that the best audience I could have is my future self. Looking back at my posts made me realize life is amazing and will continue to be amazing if we only know what to look for. Some posts are outdated- yes. But they remain to be true. I guess blogs are still the best way to look at yourself, be vulnerable to your unknown readers and just let your ideas flow. Who cares if no one reads them? Few years from now yo...
