When it comes to my hair, I’m all about low-maintenance styling. My motto is simple: “Work with your hair’s natural texture, not against it.” With slightly wavy hair, I’ve learned the best way to style it is by enhancing the waves I already have, rather than fighting them. And recently, I’ve found the perfect product to help me do just that: the Kristin Ess Sea Salt Air Dry Mousse (R275).
I picked it up just last week from Clicks, and I’m completely hooked. The application process is so easy and foolproof. After washing and conditioning my hair, I wrap it in a microfiber towel for a few minutes to absorb excess water. Then, while my hair is still damp, I scrunch a golf ball-sized amount of mousse through my hair and let it air dry. It’s as simple as that—no heat styling, no fuss. The key is to resist the urge to touch my curls too much while they dry; they don’t like to be disturbed.
What I love about this mousse is that it’s designed to enhance natural waves and build texture without being sticky or crunchy. It gives my curls a soft hold, so they look defined but still bouncy and touchable. And, the formula also contains Zip-Up Technology – a strengthening complex in Kristin Ess hair products that helps repair damaged hair. It’s designed to smooth split ends and protect hair from environmental stressors.
It also has this incredible scent—notes of magnolia, pear water, night violet, orris butter, sandalwood, and white amber—which makes the whole experience feel a bit luxurious.
And let’s talk about the packaging: it’s sleek and elegant, making it feel like a little treat every time I use it.
This is the first product I’ve tried from the Kristin Ess line, but based on how much I love this mousse, it definitely won’t be my last. If you’re looking for an easy way to embrace your natural waves, I highly recommend giving this mousse a try!
