Pantene Pro-V Curl Defining Hair Mousse Maximum Hold 6.6 Oz (Pack of 3)

I have been using this stuff for 10+ years. I have tried more expensive products (and still do, just to make sure there is nothing better) and have found nothing that works quite like this. Even with the few formula changes I have noticed over the years, it still works.My hair type: Not super thick, but a decent head of blonde hair that I highlight regularly. My hair can be straightened with the right products by blow drying and when curly isn't shirley temple curls but larger ringlets.How I use this product: I try to distribute evenly throughout hair after applying a leave in conditioner (after washing/conditioning), usually a handful through roots and top of hair, then turn my head upside down and scrunch another 2 smaller handfuls though the ends and underneath roots (you should feel the product throughout your hair, but not overly so). Staying head upside down I twist 1-2 inch sections of my hair pretty tightly then I use a diffuser on my hair dryer on high heat and low setting and blow dry (head upside down!) for about ten minutes only staying on one place for no more than 10 seconds.This mousse can last all day, just depends on the humidity for me, if it is humid I usually put a little of the gel from this line in my tips and that helps to hold it longer. The mousse isn't heavy nor does it cause that hard gel look if used in the right amount. I have woken up and just thrown more mousse into my hair and used the diffuser for a few minutes and refreshed the look without having to wash my hair also.

This mouse smells great, a can lasts awhile. The best thing is the hold of the curls. Put just right amout and hair stays controlled but soft Beautiful. Buy in bulk! Better curls, bouncy!

Reviews for this product are all over the place for a reason: it was apparently very recently reformulated and is now sold in the white can that you see pictured, rather than the older, pink can. The older product has good reviews, the newer product is a stiff, sticky mess (think "whipped white glue") and would be wonderful if you needed a stiff, sticky hairstyle (think: mohawk used to trap flies) that ultimately leaves your hair dried out. But, if you're looking for a replacement for the older mousse, you may have to look elsewhere.I have fine, very wavy hair and live in a humid climate. I need a moisturizing product that won't weigh my hair down while allowing my waves to stay shaped. This product isn't for me. Thankfully I purchased it during a promotion and paid a pittance for it -- and even that was too much.

Always used this mousse for my curly hair because it worked the best & held up great! But this new mousse is nothing like the old one.. Does not hold up nor does it work like the old one. After so many years of using it. I have now had to change brands.

I have tried so many products over the years. I have tried deva curl and every other expensive product out there. I am in love with this mousse. I apply it when my hair is still wet & my hair looks great for 3 days! I can only wash my hair every 3 days otherwise my hair & scalp dries out. On day 2 I apply a small amount of water to my hands & work it through my hair. My curls return to looking just as great as they did the day before. This product leaves my hair smelling great. My hair was not sticky or crunchy.

This worked well. I have wavy hair and if I just throw some of this on my hair when wet, then it can dry naturally and not be frizzy. Great product and easy hairstyle for those with wavy/curly hair.

It's not always easy to find mousse that works well for curly hair but pair this with a bit of hairspray and I'm set for the day. If it's not holding for you, like it sometimes does for me in the humidity, try putting a think layer of spray gel on your hands before working this through. With the triple-threat of the gel, mousse and spray, I'm set until I get home late at night - all without that crunchy or stiff hair feeling. I also loved that this is a 3-pack, so I've yet to panic that I'm almost out.

This is not the old formula any longer as shown in the picture. I received the newest formula, which 'soft curls' and, as you can read on Pantene's very own website, has thrown long-time users of the old formula off their normal hair game. I ordered because the "Q&A" section had that it was the old formula. I was mis-informed.
