I LOVE mousse! I have tried gels before but mousses give me the bounce i love. I think it suits my hair, which is medium textured. gels are great for touch-ups, but they don't work as my main product. I am a modified CG so I use John Frieda Frizz ease Curl reviver mousse. I'm not sure if that one is available in the US but it is in the UK. I used to think it didn't work cos it had a cone but I found out it has a water soluble one,PEG-12 Dimimethicone, and the rest is Ok, Cging speaking. I Cowash mainly, but I use a mild poo with coco betaine because I use other products which have got the not water soluble cones. But I have found out that I don't get build up from those insoluble ones. I think the improvement in my curls has been the sulfate free rule :P
