Amy can I ask where you found the mousse and which specific one you used. I looked a couple of places and see there is more than one of that brand.

TIA

With the Redken Thickening Lotion, i agree it’s a bit sticky. I pour a wee squirt and then wet my hands, then apply it, and it works better for me.

I’ll look for the Got2Be when my current bottle runs low. Thanks for the update!

a few years back my hair seemed thinner. I started treating it as gently as possible to cut down on breakage. after some time it grew in so much healthier looking, and it honestly seems thicker as a result. my methods:

1. I switched to a shampoo and conditioner that detangle really well and add slip. generally, products with silicones will help with that (I use Pantene Smooth & Sleek). just don't overdo it or it'll weigh it down.

2. I started brushing my hair as gently as possible, especially when its wet. I only use a Wet Brush, which is suuuuuper gentle.

Based on Amy's review, I just ordered this: https://www.amazon.com/fat-tastic-Instant-Collagen-Infusion-Mousse/dp/B001S46QIM?th=1

Thx, Amy!

Doesn't it drive you crazy when there are so many variations by the same company? Can you be more exact? I can't tell the differences in these products.

HU.. I got the one in the gold bottle. It says it has collagen.

Thanks for the tip bpath.

Mod, I try and be super gentle with my hair too. Thanks for sharing your hair routine.

Here is the link.

I got my Got2B at that river place - AMZ. Let’s see if this will post with a link. https://www.amazon.com/fat-tastic-Instant-Collagen-Infusion-Mousse/dp/B001S46QIM/ref=sr_1_7?crid=2FV4OLKLO4WF0&dchild=1&keywords=got2be+hair+products&qid=1625625827&sprefix=Got2B%2Caps%2C212&sr=8-7

ILoveMod, I used to comb out tangles in the shower when my hair was wet, and my hair stylist advised me to stop doing it--apparently hair is weakest when wet. So I comb it beforehand when it's dry. Who knew?

Amy--thank you for the recommendation!

aktillery9, I, too, would like to know the specific name of the product since there are more than one Got2B Fatastic Mousse products.

Liz, Got2B Fat-tastic Thickening Plumping Hair Mousse Instant Collagen infusion. There is a link you can click in my last message that says "Link"

Here is the link pasted.

Following! You had me at thinning hair.... :)

I think this is the product Amy is referring to. Seems it’s only available online at Amazon, Walmart, and beauty supply places. There are some Youtube videos by hair/makeup influencers demontrating it. I have fine, flat, lifeless hair so I’m definitely trying it. Thanks Amy!

Thanks for the rec, I’ve just ordered some via Amazon!

This is probably a dumb question, but how do you use mousse? I am a complete novice with styling products and typically just wash with shampoo and conditioner and blow dry.

pp, youtube can probably help you; lots of videos there. :)

Pricklypear,

It's like gel but fluffy.

Towel dry your hair and comb or wet-brush it. Before you blowdry your hair, and while it is still a little damp, put about 2T of mousse in your hand. Rub it between your fingers and then apply it to the roots of your hair. Comb in through, then blowdry and style. Starting at the roots helps give lift. You may need to experiment with how much mousse you use.

I tried this product a couple of years ago, but couldn't get past the smell. To me it was like old Estée Lauder Youth Dew. Those of you who use it, does the smell dissipate?

I swear by Aquage Uplifting Foam, but it works best on highlighted hair. If that's what you have, it's worth every penny. You put it on when hair is damp, then blow dry it.

Today, I used some Got2Be before drying my hair. If a little is good, at lot is good-er, right? OMG!!! Lots of hair!

I don’t mind the smell, Bunny. But I think we’ve found before that we don’t jibe on smells so you might not want to rely on my answer. 😉

Here is a not so great photo with the product in my hair. I have added more layers. I got caught in some rain so forgive the frizzy mess. I definitely need to retouch my highlights at the roots!

Not sure if you can tell anything in the photo.

This was my original pic. I had curled and styled my hair.

Another thing you can do to thicken your hair is to add a clear henna. The henna coats your hair and conditions it, but you will not be able to dye it after you have applied the henna. The henna generally lasts for about a month before you have to reapply it, depending on how often you wash your hair and how gentle or harsh your shampoo is.

Beautiful Ak! We have the same style hair, great for wash and wear with a little added styling products. lol I just ordered some GTB Mousse for when my color is growing out a bit. Aquage is the same way, the more you add to your hair, the more it looks full.

Oakley, I love Aquage Uplifting Foam. But have you noticed that when you apply it to your roots with the nozzle some of it lands on the door or wall or floor?

Wow, that is a pretty dramatic difference!

Amy, glad you found something that works for you and you like. You look great!

Oribe Hair Thickening is really good! I love so many of Oribe products! I haven't tried the Got2be mousse though.

Bunny, I keep a roll of paper towels in my bathroom and I'm constantly washing the wall and window behind me. :) But it won't work very well on my roots when my highlights start to grow out.

You look great in both pictures Amy. I have thick hair, which I keep layered. I have a bit of wave, but not as much as I used to. I can get a bit of frizz in our heat and humidity. My hair tends to look curlier in that kind of weather, especially if I scrunch it a bit. I use gel - the only one I will use is John Freida Frizz-Ease. I need to check out the Got2be line thought and see what else they have. I have been looking for a good curl enhancing spray.

Mtn, now THAT is hilarious!
