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 ...

Revlon Color Lustrous Lip Gloss in Gold Frost

Ever since I started working, I have been wearing lipsticks all the time and neglecting the joys a lipgloss can do. I don't know if it's the age or maybe I have worn a lot of gloss when I was on my teens that I feel lipstick is  for my twenties. But, when I saw Revlon Color Lustrous lipgloss, I cant help but fall in love once again with lip glosses.  Why do I love this gloss? Let me count the ways.. 1. The shade is a beautiful golden nude that has a bit of shimmer, not glitters, that creates a lovely shine to the lips.  2. It glides on smoothly and is not sticky to wear. 3. Opacity is just right, not too opaque, not too sheer.  I got this on sale so the price is way lower than usual, I got this for only P200 (such a steal right?)\The sales assistant told me that Revlon booths placed in the middle of the malls have more sale items compared to counters located inside the department stores. So, if you are looki...

AT LEAST I CAN STILL SEE: Living Life through Amblyopia

All my life, people thought I am just banlag (squint) or someone who has a scar on her right eye. What some people do not know exactly is that I am almost blind. After thousands of eye tests to different ophthalmologists and optometrists, mine is a rare condition called Amblyopia (also known as lazy eye) coupled with color-blindness. Let us first start with my right eye. If you will look closely into my cornea, it has this white scar that originated by birth. If I will only use my right eye and let my left eye be closed, I will see everything in blur. Because of an inborn scar, there is a small white cast blocking my right eye, I cannot see the details of an image. I only see a vision, a blur, a shape. For example, if there is a calendar in front of me, looking only through my right eye, I would only see a white rectangle with dots and some lines. Imagine watching TV with white sheer cloth in front of your eyes-- that's the perspective of my right eye. God must have pi...

PIECES OF MY MONTH : JANUARY

Goodness. Is it February already? 2016? WOW! Time. flies. so. freaking. fast. The last time I checked, I was just dreaming of 2016. I remember wanting 2015 to end so bad and it feels like 2016 was sooooo far away. Now that 2016 is here right in front of me, I want to make few changes in this blog. Frequent blog posts. Better content. Improved layout. My own Domain. Last year, I never get to sustain this "Pieces of my Month" series. I know. I know. Too much pressure, man. Too much pressure. So, I thought of reviving it again, and the timing is just perfect because January has just ended. Anyhoo, there will be less photos today because I happen to erase ALL of my photos in the camera. Shit happens. Yes they do. So, I thought of just listing random things I did on the month of January. My Month Currently. 1.  FAVE MOVIE: THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL - This has the most beautiful cinematography I've seen in a movie. It has this "instagramish" feel to i...
