Awapuhi Wild Ginger by Paul Mitchell HydroCream Whip Mousse, Frizz Control, Touchable Hold, For All Hair Types, 6.7 oz.

I really didn’t seriously consider using mousse in my hair until I went to a Dominican barbershop. It wasn’t this product he used in my hair when I got it cut, but I figured I would search for something like it. After reading countless reviews, and considering Paul Mitchell’s excellent reputation for hair products, I gave this a shot. I was first surprised as to how thick this comes out (think whip cream out of a spray can). I love the smell - reminds me of hotel lobbies that use scent diffusers to set the relaxing atmosphere when you travel or are on vacation. It really moisturizes and conditions, and trust me, you only need a small dollop to do the job. I have shorter hair, that’s wavy/tight curly - I may be a 4a but not sure as far as hair chart. But I do have “good” hair - ya’ll know what that means. My hair is tight faded on the sides (skin fade) with maybe a 1.5 or 2 on top. My hair shines and stays in place through the day. Since this is lasting me a long time and appears concentrated, I say the value is on point. The can is easy to use, just use it like spray whip cream, place a small amount in the palm of your hands. This works better when your hair is slightly damp - but not soaking wet. Just know that it’s not as moisturizing as castor oil or a pomade, but it’s mousse, so, you already know. I purchased the shampoo and conditioner from this line - so I can feel like I’m on holiday all the time! And yes, it’s very luxurious and who cares about the price, if you can afford it - go for it!

Perfect texture. Doesn’t weigh hair down. Smells good!

Does not leave a hard cast on my hair, keeps it soft but also holds my waves.

Within half an hour of application, the whipped cream-like product actually volumizes your hair rather than mat it down. Leaves your hair feeling natural and like there's nothing in it at all because it's so light weight after it dries. Provides medium hold all day. In fact, I usually wake up the next morning with my hair in the condition I put it the morning before. Smell is mild and pleasant, but does not linger, which I prefer. Worth every penny.

Smells nice and helps control the frizz

If heaven has a smell, this is it. Also, great product. Leaves my hair soft but gives some body, hold, and keeps the frizz down.

Great fragrance. Gentle on hair. A well known, popular product.

I waited three weeks and used this product before writing this review. I have natural frizzy waves, not quite straight and not quite curly and let me tell you that I have tried over 50 products in the past ten years, all the way from oils that make my scalp very oily after a day to mousses, creams, sprays. I am sticking to this one! It doesn't make the hair crunchy, it makes the waves manageable and pretty without adding weight or feeling dry or oily. Also, after sleeping on it, you just need to damp your hair with your palm and you get the beautiful soft waves back! Give it a try, you won't regret!
