Reviews

Vita curl excellence

"Vita curl brings moisture and healthy looking shine to my curls. The frizz is gone and body and bounce is abundant. Love this product. Finally live my natural curly hair that I hated as a child and straightened as a teen."

— Barbara G. (5/5)

Great

"Ho;ds my curls without weighing them down and I don't get the crunchy feel"

— Kari S. (5/5)

Excellent product

"I would be lost without my Quidad products"

— Darla Y. (5/5)

Love Ouidad products but not this one

"The dispensing nozzle is VERY hard to press to get it to dispense. The foam disintegrated as soon as I tried to share it with the other hand leaving me with a thin coating of product on my hands. While it seemed the amount of mousse that I could manage to get out of the bottle was plenty, ultimately, it wasn't enough to change the volume of my hair. More volume was my reason for buying this product."

— Vicki L. (1/5)

GREAT PRODUCT

"Doesn’t make my hair crunch or frizz. LOVE THE SMELL! Has become a habitual product in my daily hair routine"

— Vivian P. (5/5)

Amazing would buy

"I absolutely love the Ouidad Soft Defining Mousse! It gives my curls the perfect balance of definition and softness without any crunch or stiffness. My curls look bouncy, shiny, and frizz-free all day, and the mousse feels super lightweight in my hair. I also appreciate that it doesn’t leave any sticky residue and works great whether I air-dry or diffuse. A little goes a long way, and it really enhances my natural curl pattern. This has easily become a staple in my curl routine—highly recommend for anyone wanting soft, defined curls!"

— Ash (5/5)

Brings curls back to life

"Nice product, but it left my hair a little greasy by the end of the day. Lightweight formula adds moisture and definition while keeping my curls bouncy, natural, and completely frizz free. Great for frizz control! My curls are more defined and less puffy in humidity."

— Rory M. (5/5)

Amazing Results!

"This Soft Defining Mousse gives my graying, thining coils a healthy feel and look! It holds my spirals for days without retouching, and best of all, my hair is moisturized and healthy after use. Even my natural-hair stylist is impressed enough to add it to her "go-to" product selection!"

— Carol-Ann D. (5/5)

Great for sealing in moisture

"Great starter product for anyone beginning a curl care routine. Easy addition to my regular hair routine. Perfect mousse for bounce and volume."

— Elyssa (5/5)

Perfect balance of moisture and control

"Balanced blend of care and styling. Helps smooth frizz while enhancing natural curl texture. My curls are defined with this gel, and it's light enough not to weigh my hair down."

— Ludivina H. (5/5)
