Beauty Stars : 3

Review : For the price, I think the Garnier Body Boost Mousse does its job.  It’s not the best, but I find hair products like mousse, gels — if you use something cheap vs expensive, it’s generally the same except sometimes the less expensive ones might flake a bit if u make a mistake after it has dried.  I typically use this mousse in dry hair, even though we’re supposed to use it in wet hair.  Usually I give it a quick squirt and mess it around just to dirty up the hair for updos or styling.  It gives that little bit of extra hold, paired with some hairspray.

The “Strong Rating” is a 3 out of 5…so it’s not meant to have a super hold…that way you can make adjustments to a hairdo easily.  Once you’ve got it right, then you can set it with a strong hairspray.  A key ingredient that differentiates Garnier is the natural bamboo extract — they say it’s supposed to make the product more resilient and flexible.  I don’t think I really see or feel a huge difference though. The thing that stands out to me most is the fruity scent which I find is nice, but to some clients, it can be bad if they are sensitive to fragrance.  This product is labeled as alcohol-free, which should be less drying for your hair.  Overall, a little goes a long way and this product is decent for its value.
