Volume galore

This is so good on my fine long hair. It doesn’t make it crunchy. If you want extra volume then try blow drying upside down! Best mousse ever and it smells so good and isn’t crunchy!

Nice volume, noticed residue

23 days ago
I’m not a big mousse user, so keep that in mind. It smells good and was easy to use and apply. I did get more volume using it, I just don’t like the way it made my hair feel, which is why I don’t usually use these kinds of products. The residue is noticeable to me, enough so that I don’t reach for it.

Thank you so much for sharing your honest review with us! We really appreciate your balanced perspective, especially as someone who doesn't typically gravitate toward mousses. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the scent, found it easy to apply, and noticed the added volume, but we completely understand why a noticeable residue keeps you from reaching for it. Traditional volumizing mousses rely on film-forming polymers to physically coat each strand and create grip and lift, which can often leave behind a tactile, slightly coated texture that doesn't feel completely clean to the touch. If you ever need styling advice or want to find a weightless alternative that fits your routine, our Matrix Consumer Care team is always happy to help at 1-888-777-6396 (Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM EST)!

Great product

First time using a volumizing mousse. It was weightless. It didn't leave a sticky or residue behind. Left my hair feeling so nice, shiny, and frizz free.

Matrix owns up to its name, it’s definitely food for soft

Omggg! Everything about this product is absolutely amazing. The dispensing of the Product came out effortlessly. The scent was smelled so good and made my hair from puffy to straight. Matrix is 100% washable but the product is so good that you don’t have to wash your hair because it leaves your hair so soft and gentle.

Make my hair holds its volume longer!

This volumizing moose by Matrix does exactly what is says it will do… ADDS VOLUME! I have extremely flat hair, but at the same time is a bit wavy. I struggle with my hair losing its volume right away and this product helps my volume stay longer.

Not for thin & wavy hair.

Not for me or my hair type.... it was way too sticky and crunchy. I think this may work on someone with curly hair? Mine is just wavy and overall my hair is pretty thin. I really did not like this product.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your honest review. We are so sorry to hear that the Mega Sleek conditioner left your fine, wavy hair feeling sticky and crunchy—that is definitely not the soft, smooth result you deserve! Because fine and thin hair has a delicate strand structure, the new combination of lightweight Jojoba Oil and smoothing polymers can sometimes sit on the outside of the hair shaft rather than absorbing, leaving behind a firm, coated feeling once dried. While this type of hold and film-forming action can sometimes benefit coarser or tighter curl patterns that need extra structural frizz control, we completely understand why it felt unpleasant and "crunchy" on fine, wavy hair. We want to make sure you get your money back for a product that didn't work for you. Please contact our Matrix Consumer Care team directly at 1-888-777-6396 (Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM EST) so we can personally assist you with a full refund. Our team would also be happy to recommend much lighter, weightless hydration options designed specifically for fine, wavy hair—such as our Food For Soft or High Amplify lines—so you can get soft, touchable results without any stickiness.

Left my hair, sticky not my favorite product

2 months ago
The texture was OK and the sun smelled nice however, after it was in my hair, it made it feel sticky. It did work to make my hair more volume however it made it extra greasy looking so I only used it the one time. There may be a learning curve to using it, and I might need to use it more times.

Hi there! Thank you for getting in touch about our XXL Big 'N Soft Extra Hydrating & Volumizing Mousse. We are absolutely thrilled that you loved its scent! However, we're sorry to hear that the performance didn't quite live up to your expectations. For your next style, we suggest using just a slightly smaller amount of product—sometimes a little goes a very long way! We hope this tip helps you get the perfect look!

Works okay

This mousse helps enhance my waves just a little. I do like that it is a pump instead of an aerosol type can. It doesn’t make my hair crunchy, but is does leave a residue that I don’t care for.
