I found this mouse to add some volume to my hair but not as much as I expected, I like how it didn’t make my hair feel dry or sticky. The instructions are easy to follow. The consistency is very light and foamy. I like it but don’t love it.

So far it seems like a good product. I am not on the curly hair 10 step process but the times I’ve used it I’ve noticed it nourished my hair and helps a bit with the frizz. The feel is very nice and not too much.

Soft Hair with Volume

I really, really love Matrix Food For Soft XXL Big 'N Soft Mouse!!!!!!!!! I just had my extensions removed and my hair just felt blah! This mouse made my hair easy to comb through and added volume to my blowout! I cant say how impressed I am with this product! I love the bottle it comes in. You can see how much you have. This foams up so nicely! Its a good amount for the price. I feel like I would get my monies worth. I did detect a very light scent. Nothing overwhelming! Its just a hint. I also didn't have any scalp irritation. You can use as little as you want, or add more if you need to. It doesn't feel heavy or sticky! It absorbs nicely and quickly! I will definitely keep this in my hair routine.

I have had super-straight hair my entire life, but the past few years it has gotten a slight wave to it. It’s been really interesting to see how this product slows me to wear my hair slightly wavy. It applies easily, doesn’t have a strong smell, and has good staying power. I think it would be an amazing product for someone with more curl. I have also used it when blowing out my hair, and it definitely made me look more put-together.

Great product for my hair.

I love this mousse. Ot pumps out nice and thick and absorbs into hair. It helps add volume to my hair and keeps it looking good all day and into the next day. I appreciate that it has heat protection. I used it on damp hair and immediately blew it/styled it. Another time I put it on and let my hair air dry, then styled it at the last minute. Both ways, I was pleased with the results. I would definitely buy this again.

I have thick hair and a lot of it. I feel like this did not leave my hair soft unfortunately and I didn’t see any more volume than normal. Overall good for using once in a while. I would not use every time I shampoo.

Good Volume, Not Fully Weightless

This mousse smells nice and gives my hair noticeable volume while still feeling soft. I did notice a slight texture after styling, so it didn’t feel completely residue-free to me. It’s not heavy, but the finish wasn’t as weightless as I expected.

Cute packaging and colorful vibe. Really easy to apply, not sticky or heavy. This mousse made my hair so soft and less frizzy. When I use the blow dryer, I get a lot of volume too which is great because I hate how flat my hair can get.

Voluminous curls for the win! 😍

I absolutely love this hair mousse— my hair has never looked more voluminous yet defined! Doesn’t leave hair feeling “crunchy”, has a light airy feel, and leaves curls leaving super defined. This has become a new daily staple and I’m absolutely loving it. 😍 Definitely want to try this brand some more— very curl friendly!

Fluffy Full blowout

I like this product so far. I have 4c hair and it did define my curls. I'm not sure about the hold because I decided to blow dry my hair. I did feel a cast on the hair while wet, which went away when my hair dried. It did give my hair more volume as well as more control. My blow out felt lightweight but full. I'm not sure how I feel about the hydrating piece which is why I gave it a 4. I will continue to use it.

This hair mousse is amazing! There is so much product and I love the pump style top. This helps my natural waves come out. It washes out easily and doesn’t leave my hair feeling crunchy. It actually makes my hair feel very soft. The scent is great and lingers in my hair for hours! I recommend if you are looking for a good hair mousse, that doesn’t weigh down your hair or make it crunchy feeling!

Great volumizing mousse

This mousse is different from others I have used. The density of the foam is more liquid but airy and I feel like I needed less product to achieve the same result and volume than others. I loved the way my hair looked and felt, good volume and soft to the touch.

It fulfills the objective of shaping the hair

This product is the best for maintaining the waves we want in our hair. I'm a little sick, so I'm not showing you how it turned out because my face isn't well. It gives my hair perfect volume, even though it's straight. The scent is pleasant and doesn't leave a bad feeling; on the contrary, I like how it smells. I want to try other products from this brand soon, and I'll be buying other types of hair treatments.

It’s A Yes For Me

The first thing I absolutely loved is the scent of this mousse. I love for my hair to smell nice and this brings that perk. Secondly I love that I can see how much product is left in the bottle - nothing worse than a mouse running out and having no back-up. A+ for the thoughtful packaging. Now, my hair is 2B/2C and very absorbent of humidity. I find this mouse held it together quite well the times I used it. I also used it when I did a slicked back ponytail to keep my fly-away antennas down and it did the trick. The hair stayed in place all night. The texture is not sticky and is easy to smooth out throughout the hair. Overall I loved this mouse and will keep it in my product rotation going forward. Such a good find!

Okay product, but light on hair

3 days ago
Food for Soft Volumizing Mousse works okay. I have thin hair and I tried it as per the directions and it left my hair a bit crunchy-feeling. I tried it with more wet hair and while it left it way less crunchy and much softer, it didn’t volumize as much. While the product isn’t sticky on my hands or in my hair, as a girl who doesn’t like the feel of har products and rarely uses them, I do have to say this product felt light and made my hair still look natural. It washed out well, but I can’t say it did what I wanted it to.

I actually loved this product! It dissolves very quickly when you rub it into the roots of your hair (that’s why you can’t really see anything in the picture). It gives you more volume without needing to use a blow dryer which is really convenient. It also smells AMAZING! I can’t wait to start adding this product to my after-shower routine!

That shine and volume instantly

I’ve been using the Matrix Food For Soft leave-in treatment, and I’m really impressed. It makes my hair feel instantly softer, more hydrated, and easier to manage without weighing it down. The texture is lightweight, and it helps reduce dryness and frizz. Perfect for dry or dull hair that needs a boost of moisture. Definitely a great addition to my hair routine! ✨

Mousse

I thought this product was very lightweight and didn’t feel like it left any residue in my hair! I used it right out of the shower and let my hair air dry. I’m not sure how much volume it added, but I liked how my hair looked after. One thing I wish they included was how to use it for different hairstyles- I have wavy hair that I can style more straight or more curly, so I wasn’t sure if I should try to scrunch this product into my hair, or comb it through for best results.

Weightless but thick

3 days ago
This product is amazing! I used too much at first try because I didn’t know how powerful one pump would be! I have thick fine hair and this makes my hair feel weightless but hold a great shape. The dispenser really gives a great amount with one to two pumps being the maximum I need for my length. Great price for the value. The smell is also amazing, a little sweet but still clean.

Smells amazing and adds some volume

3 days ago
This product smells amazing and adds some nice grit to my super silky hair that helps create volume. It doesn’t weigh my hair down or leave it feeling crunchy at all. It doesn’t make my hair magically stay curled, but I don’t fault this product because my silky straight hair cannot hold a style no matter what. It was easy to use, adds some volume for a blowout, and smells great. Not life changing for me but very good!

Curly girls AIR DRY!!

3 days ago
The Matrix Food For Soft XXL Volumizing Mousse lived up to its name! My first attempt was to apply to damp hair and diffuse, and if you have any curl, do as they say and let your hair air dry (big frizz)!! My repeated uses I applied to damp hair and air dried, curl without the crunch I had. The product dispenses from a pump bottle into a light foam with a pleasant scent (not too strong and not too perfumed). It did add volume, without the weight, so overall happy. At the end of the day my hair was still in check, yet natural. I have other products I like better, but this one gets things done. I received this product at no cost to me in exchange for my honest review.

Added some volume to my straight hair, but didn’t

4 days ago
I’ve used this volumizing mousse a few times now! My hair is naturally straight, however it doesn’t have much volume and it frizzes easily. I was excited to give this a try. The first time I used it, I just blow dried my hair straight like I usually do. The mousse feels a bit sticker than others I’ve tried, both in my hand and in my hair. It definitely did provide some extra volume to my hair, but also made my hair feel a little heavier compared to to other products I’ve tried. I also tried it in addition to curling my hair, using my air wrap. I know this product isn’t intended for curl, but wanted to try it anyways. Definitely needs extra product to maintain curl hold, but still gave my hair some extra volume which was nice. No change to the frizz I experience. In both instances, I did find it a bit challenging to blow dry my hair using a round brush because the mousse made my hair a bit stickier? But the stickiness did go way once dried. It also smells very nice! Nothing overpowering at all. The packaging feels typical for this type of product, I like the pump which dispenses a nice amount of product! It’s a little hard to read the directions on the bottle with the white text against the green. Bottom line, it definitely helped provide volume but didn’t completely wow me. I’d like to try it along with using some of my other of my products, before I decide on purchasing it for full price.

I have naturally curly hair, but it’s very thick and long, which weighs down my curls. This mousse defined each curl and boosted overall volume. It does increase softness and shine as promised. I also appreciate that it is alcohol-free and has the added benefit of heat protection.

As a black woman with Locs, I’m always intentional about the products I use. This mousse has truly won me over it gave my Locs volume without weighing them down or leaving them with residue. What stood out to me immediately( besides the results )is the amazing scent. It’s fresh and sweet, not overpowering. Just enough to make everyone take notice XXL Volumizing Mousse had no stiffness or flaking I kept my curls in all week with no wash day needed.
