Washday Hair Products (From Shampoo to Mousse)
Yesterday's wash day was a winner! But I mixed it up a little, and tweaked it ever so slightly to bring a little more protein to my wash day because I could tell that's what my hair needed. Protein is what gives waves and curls the strength and structure to not only curl, but to hold it. Bounce Curl Light Creme Gel can be tricky for some. It's a love it or hate it kind of product.

This was the first time I paired this combo with Reflex Serum and it worked really well! Hydrated, defined ringlets and curls with just the right balance of protein and moisture for my hair.

Mousse vs Foam Products for Curly Hair
Here's a quick guide on mousses and foams, because they're actually two completely different products, that give totally different results. Despite so many brands using the words interchangeably and incorrectly. I know so many curly girls are hesitant to use a mousse because the 80's and 90's traumatized us all with those crunchy, crispy curls and permanent wet look. But give it a chance - see all the reasons why it could be just the curl enhancing, defining styling product you've been looking for!
