Please try Mousse Plus Alcohol Free Volumizing Foam Styler (it says all this on the front of the can. It is by Nexxus. You will not be able to contain your hair afterwards. You won't be able to complain about fine or thin hair. I use mine on damp hair prior to rollersetting. The result is big hair that I need to immediately wrap to calm down.

OOOhhhh, that sounds nice! I don't rollerset, but do you think I could just apply it, airdry and pull back in a ponytail? My ponytail is scrawny! How long have you been using this product? Does it leaving your hair smooth and silky or just big?

 

[CoffeeBean]

I always do rollersets and it comes out very smooth. I sometimes do flexirods and this is a "must use" for this style. You don't see all up in my scalp between the curls when I use this mousse. It does what it says, gives your hair volume. I think it would help your pony, I have had nothing but + results or better! I've been using this for over 6 mos.

Oh SNAP! Thanks CoffeeBean! One more question. Can you use it say 6 - 7 weeks post relaxer or do you think it would not be kind to my NG? I don't want any hairs to go, Snap, crackle, pop!

 

[CoffeeBean]

Hmmmm...that might be tricky 6-7 weeks post depending on hair type. I haven't had any problems but you may want to blow the roots out after.

I have to get a hairdryer first! I'll just smooth some on the very ends of my hair to see if it "poofs!" I just ran to the CVS up the street and picked some up. I'll post what happens.

 

[CoffeeBean]

Well???? I'm waiting, I'm waiting...how did you like it JanuaryNoir?

 

[deniseloc]

Thin and fine hair sister checking in. I have just recently stopped relaxing the nape area because I cant seem to stop the breakage there and also the nape area is a different texture. I am also going to stop streching 13 weeks down to relaxing every 8 weeks because of extreme shedding and matting I hope this will help my hair to recover from this setback.

I have the curler on my ponytail now CoffeeBean! The suspense is killing me too (spent $10 on this product!) . It should be dry in about...another....hour. I'll post back in another hour or so!

Welcome deniseloc! Is that you in the avatar? If so, your hair is beautiful!
Yes, I would cut back on stretching that long. I think you will find a lot of solutions to your hair trouble here.

Hi Denise. Sorry you had a setback. My hair is brittle and tripping in the nape area on the right side. Hope you have better luck than me.

I was up here like...."Um....ain't that Aaliyah?"

It's okay JN...it's okay...

*waving to my fellow thin/fine haired sistah..*




*okay, I'm off to finish my hair...or I'm going to look like a wet poodle for work in the morning..

Y'all are too funny!

 

[january noir]

OK! CoffeeBean! I removed the curler...(it was just one satin covered roller)
AND....




My ponytail is smooth and curly with a lot of BODY! I have to admit I applied some Jamaican Black Castor Oil before I used the mousse so I am sure the oil is keeping it from fluffing up to it's full potential. Just the same, I like it so far.

I have my touch up relaxer next week and I will have my hairdresser use it on my hair. Actually, now that I think about it, he used to use mousse on my hair, but stopped. I have to ask him why. Maybe because it was too drying. I hope he'll agree to this one because it is alcohol free!

Stay tuned CoffeeBean, Cayenne and the rest of the ladies for Part Deux of Nexxus Mousse Plus - Alcohol Free Volumizing Foam Styler.

I am right there with you, I HATE MY HAIR! I am transitioning and I think I am about to quit because it's just not working out for me and I have no idea what else to do. My protective styles aren't working, I dont know what products to use or even how to use them correctly (I assume). My hair is shedding out of control.... I am just sick of my hair

I'm wondering if its time for you to go ahead and big chop. I hope some natural thin ladies or transitioning thin ladies will chime in to help you out. I've been at my wits end several times.

I am not doing a BC I was doing small cuts maybe .5-1in per month. The reason I transitioned was because I did not know how to effectively maintain a relaxer, as I was doing at the time. But now with transitioning I have not even seen a difference in the quality of my hair as I had hoped. I am now wondering exactly what texlaxing is...

Contact Sareca. I was just looking at her fotki and her texlaxed her is gorgeous and growing like crazy. Hopefully, she'll be able to give you some tips and maybe that will give you a happy medium...not totally relaxed but not totally natural either.

VENT: I'm so through with rollersets!!

I'm sick and tired, ladies. Yes, sick and tired of spending hours on my hair, deep conditioning, treating it like silk, detangling and taking great care in rolling my hair. Trying to get the hair smooth on the roller. Sitting under the dryer for at least 1.5 hour, only to wake up the next morning with limp, lifeless curls that almost assuredly fall when I step one foot out the door. I am so sick and tired, ladies, of putting all this work towards my hair and it's no longer or healthier than it was this time last year when I wasn't doing all this work. I guess I'm just frustrated with this mane. I'm feeling a bit discouraged after yet another night of hard work down the drain and my hair looks a sh*tty a$$ mess (SHAM).

I'm sorry Serenity! I really hate that! I went through something similar over the last year. My hair shedding caused me to use wayyy too many new products and in return, my hair acted a fool on me. It seems to be on its way to recovery though so I'm thankful for that. Maybe you should try the volumuzing Nexxus Mousee Foam that the other ladies mentioned a few posts ago. You may end up loving your rollersets. My hair is still a little too fragile for rollersets so I won't be doing them any time soon.
