Advantages: Easy to use, works!

Disadvantages: None I know of!

When it comes to Lee stafford products I'm a real fan of them as a rule. I own pretty much all of the range now and when I'm going out special like will only use them cos it makes me feel nice and confident and I rely on the products to work for me!

I don't normally use a mousse so when I saw this (and hadn't tried it before) I thought I had to give it a go. I do have thin and fine hair so why not try and put some life in I thought!

The Packaging....

Bright pink metallic long cylinder can with pink integrated push button to the top of it and a bright pink matching see-though plastic safety lid that simply pulls on an off the top. On the can there is all white writing and on the front I'm told it is Lee Stafford (little bull dog motif on there) Volumizing Mousse, DDouble Blow, Non Stiky, Non Crispy For A Tower Of Oomfness And Body to Die for 'Get Double The Volume...PTO'. Size is stated on the bottom of the can which is 200ml, Net 6.7 fl.oz. On the back of the can I'm again told what it is, how to use it, ingredients are listed as well as cautions being given, the recycle symbol is shown and contact details for Lee Stafford are given. (Alot of this information is repeated in foreign languages as well).

Normal Directions For Use....

Apply half a handful evenly onto wet hair not forgetting the roots. Then blow dry accordingly.

For The Double Blow....

Once dry apply another half a handful onto the roots of your hair and blow dry again. A little extra time but double the volume. This is only possible with a non sticky, none crispy mousse. Avoid contact with the eyes.

Me Using It....

This is truly brilliant and simply the best mousse I have ever used I kid you not!

I have used this to simply blow dry my hair with to create some much needed volume and then straightened my hair or whatever but I have also used it in the conventional way and then smoothed more through my roots (as directed) and given another quick blow dry to it to maximise the original results.

Basically the white, thick, rich, smooth and expensive feeling mousse is very airy and whipped. I like the thickness on it and the fact that my hair absorbs it almost immediately so i don't have to work it in too hard. I then comb it through and blow dry my hair at an angle or upside down on a lowish heat setting with my hairdryer and as I said once dry I straighten my hair to finish my style off.

My hair is left feeling very smooth, not weighed down, it's glossy and smells wonderfully of oriental flowers (in my view this is one for the ladies) as the smell stays fresh on the hair until you wash it out. My hair certainly looks thicker and fuller but still remains to the touch natural and soft and people have actually commented how shiny my hair is which is a bonus.

As I said I have rubbed some more gently into my roots and teased my hair up and out with my fingers for added volume (like near my crown) and not only does it create more volume that volume stays put until you brush or comb it out, so your always in control of your style and the sky is the limit for what you can achieve lol.

Verdict....

Easy and fuss free to use, smells yummy and fulfills it's promises to the letter. Alot of mousses I have used do create a stickiness and/or crispiness or even worse.... weighs hair down and is too greasy for my hair. This simply doesn't. It feels natural on the hair and hair is gently controlled and of course if you want to your fine to use other styling products along side of this. Personally although I want volumized hair I still want it straight so I do use straightening potions with it (Lee's own once again) and I find even though I whack my Ghds on it I don't drain the life out of my hair I achieved with this mousse.

I love this product and if you have limp, flat, lifeless hair I recommend this to you! Easy to use, easy to wash out (leaving no residue) this is a must buy for me nowadays!

Summary: Brilliance!
