OUTSTANDING! The Perfect Garnier Combo Recipe to Follow

13 years ago
I regularly use Garnier Curl Calm Down Anti Frizz Cream when I want to let my hair air dry....and it works great. Last night I was at the store and decided to pick up the Garnier Curl Construct Mousse because I like to use mousse when I blow dry my hair with a diffuser - This morning, I actually read the back of the anti-frizz cream bottle and it said for best results to add mousse TOO! SOOOO, I put in a quarter-size drop of the anti-frizz cream, then a handful of the curl construct mousse, and the results ARE MORE THAN AMAZING. I have never, ever, ever, loved my curls more! I have been complimented at work all morning! Please try this combo - you will NOT be disappointed! Simply wonderful

The product's quality and assembly require attenti

6 months ago
This has been one of my favorite hair products until my last purchase. I am writing to express my dissatisfaction. The previous order was not up to standard, and I must report that both mousse bottles dispensed a non-foaming product. Furthermore, the nozzles detached during use, resulting in product loss from both bottles. I am currently evaluating whether to attempt a third purchase of this product or explore alternative options. 😠 🧴 💔 #HairProducts #Dissatisfaction #ProductLoss #CustomerService

Good hold!

16 hours ago
My new favorite moose in my curly hair routine! So easy to pump and apply. Adding just a little bit of this mouse into my hair helps define and scrunch my curls and hold them in place. It also smells really nice and doesn’t leave my hair feeling too crunchy.

My curls love it so much

a day ago
I really enjoyed using Garnier Fructis curl construct mousse. It worked great for my curls and gave them a nice defined shape without making my hair feel heavy or sticky. My curls stayed soft, bouncy, and looked natural throughout the day. Another thing I liked is the scent - it’s pleasant and light, not overpowering like some styling products can be. Overall, this mousse helped enhance my natural curls while keeping my hair manageable and full of movement. Definitely a product I would use again!

Left my curls shinny and defined for days!!

a day ago
I loved it. I got a lot of compliments from the girls at work about how nice my hair looked when I used it. It left my hair very soft and the curls stayed defined and looking fresh for a week and still now I can still style it and the curls look good. It didn’t leave no hard cast and the scent is not strong

No Hold

a day ago
This product was very light however it just sat in my hair. I really had to work it through my hair. It left my hair semi soft there was no hold at all. Perhaps it would work better for me if I also used gel on top. I wouldn’t purchase on my own. I would give this 6/10.

Solid option for hair mousse

2 days ago
I always use mousse to style my hair so I started using this product as soon as I received it. My hair remained crunchy with this one, I'm not a fan of that look. So I've been trying to use less and less product and that seems to be working. I like my curls bouncy, frizz free and soft. I wasn't fond of the scent. I normally use this line for shampoo and conditioner and those smell amazing, I was hoping for a similar scent. I don't think I would buy it again, I like other brands better for mousse, I'm glad I tried it and it is a good backup option.

It's only $6, but holds so well!

2 days ago
This did pretty well for the price point! Here is my hair in the Georgia humidity on a rainy day after using. It kept the friz low, and my hair is still soft to the touch, defined, and flexible. My hair is extra picky so I am thrilled with this product.
