I WANTED it to be great, it would have changed my life. OK, that's a bit dramatic, but it certainly would have freed up a lot of space in my hyper-overcrowded hair products drawer. I'm wailing about Arrojo's Styling Whip, Argan-Infused Does It All Styler.
This mousse brags that it tames frizz, adds shine, controls curls, and enhances straight styles. So in theory, replaces straightening gel, anti-frizz serum, curl control cream, and setting lotion all in one. Right? RIGHT? My dream come true. I tested in out during the Mission Impossible - Hair Episode trip that I took recently, which involves the polar extremes of bad hair, eg, San Francisco, CA and Park City, UT. San Francisco is more humid than Miami, causing frizz, curly bangs, and limp lengths all at once. Park City is bone dry, with weird water, causing straw dry hair that sticks out in odd directions for no particular reason.
In San Francisco, the mousse was...basically useless. My bangs wouldn't straighten at all. Period. Plus curled into hair horns the second I turned off the blow dryer. My curls looked like frizzy seaweed. DRAG. In Park City, it worked like a dream. Defined, fluffy, shiny curls and bangs that straightened in a second without losing volume and laying down dead on my forehead. Almost worth the fright that I presented in San Fran for a full week.
Was it worth checking my bag, given that my arsenal of three products can all be decanted into tiny bottles? No. But for a dry winter at home, it gets a lot of love.
