Review: FX Curls Up Curl Reviving Mousse

Since I got my hair permed September 2011, I've always been obsessed on the look out for curl defining/enhancing/reviving hair products. I don't really care if it's in the form of a serum, lotion or mousse, as long as it works fabulously with my curls, I'm on it! I'm not really adventurous when it comes to hair products but I've been having fun trying all these stuff for hair. Perming my hair is the most practical thing that I did regardless of weather and it definitely saved me a lot of hair stress. I don't think I will be going back to my old hair soon.

I remember my first review that I wrote before, then came the Alberton VO5's hair mousse showdown and finally I've tried a curl defining milk lotion , got disappointed, then I went back to using finesse curl defining hair mousse in between of trying other products.

My sister went on a trip to the city and I asked her to just get any curl defining product from the beauty section and this is what she got for me:

Product Name: FX Curls Up Curl Reviving Mousse
Availability: LandMark, Trinoma, Quezon City
Price: Php299.00

They have a range of curl defining products that includes a spray and another product that specializes in curls. Maybe I'll pick that up myself when I have the chance to go to the city. I don't really like spending money on something that I do not feel confident about. (That's why it's a good thing that Monea Curl Defining Lotion only costs Php99.00, because otherwise it's going to be such a complete waste).

Now on with the review:

The Pros:

• The Price is affordable.
• Cute Packaging.
• It really does a great job in holding my curls. I think this one can really replace the dependable Finesse Curl Defining Mousse that I always use.

The Cons:

• Not available in regular supermarkets unlike Professional Touch and Finesse.
• Once dispensed, the mousse is not too foamy like the regular mousse. You would think that it's water based. 

Tips on how to work well with this mousse: 

• This works best if you put it on a still wet hair, not overly towel dried. Just squeeze a healthy amount of excess water out of your hair.
• Turn over your hair, apply the mousse and work on your curls by scrunching it upwards to pump up the curls.

Would I buy this again? Absolutely! I just wish this is available at all Watson's Drugstore and Regular Supermarkets like Sm, Robinsons and Pure Gold.

I think I found the one that can replace the Finesse Curl Defining Mousse that's been saving my curls all these  months!
