PRODUCT BLURB:

Doesn't this seem a miracle mousse?

MY EXPERIENCE:

I find this product does work in part.

Advantages:

It does indeed build body and volume for my hair ( a medium textured blonde) and does help to hold style.I also find the product to have quite a neutral fragrance. It does work well with other Sheer Blonde products.

Disadavantages:

I do find this product quite expensive ( £4.00+/-).You have to be careful with the ammount you use, too much can make your hair feel quite dry. I am also unsure how much the 'violet' colour contributes to this products success. I do find the colour marks clothes, towels,carpets and even my skin. This is of course temporary but rather annoying when its your new outfit for the evening you've just ruined! However, as blondes will know, it does seem to help prevent that 'dulling effect' you get throughout the day.

I would recommend this mousse for natural blondes but, of course, I can not speak for those of you with colour-treated or highlighted hair. The fact that I do come back to this mousse again and again does indicate to me that, despite my efforts, I do find 'Blonde Ambition Dual Action Mousse' the best for me on the market at this time. However, it is not without its problems and not the 'miracle mousse' it claims to be!
