All my life, I've had wavy / straight hair. After blowdrying, I usually straighten it and it only takes one or two minutes. I know that excessive blowdrying and straightening really stress out my hair, so throughout the year, I sleep with wet hair and in the morning it's curly.

Unfortunately, by the end of the day, it's pretty much wavy or even straight. It's really annoying, so I started using John Frieda's Frizzease products to help "define my curls." I was reading in Seventeen about the best mousse and the best spray gel, and I am confused as to which one would:
- Aid my hair in curling up more if i were to sleep on wet hair
- Keep my hair curly throughout the day
- Not create a "crunchy" or "hard" texture on my hair

Which one do you suggest for my hair type: Tresemme Flawless Curls Curl Care Extra Hold Mousse OR Garnier Fructis Style Curl Shaping Spray Gel?

Garnier Fructis has awesome Mousse. I use it all the time and it makes my hair really nice. I'd actually recommend that over anything.


Gel, like somebody said below, tends to make your hair crunchy and hard. I personally avoid using it because it makes me feel gross and dirty. But Mousse doesn't make your hair nasty, which is why I use it.


I know Garnier has a ton of curl aiding products. I know they have shampoos and conditioners, which you could try, too. So my advice is to go with anything Garnier Fructis, the products are amazing :)
