It's a wax. No, it's a mousse. Hey! It's both!

Kenra has introduced a new product to help "texturize" the layers in your hair. Our sales rep for the salon I work at, gave us all a sample of it.I always like to take samples home to try on myself, because I feel it helps me give clients a more personal view of the product if they show an interest in it.
My hair is slightly wavy and layered, and when I don't straighten it, the wave is sort of frizzy.I hoped the Kenra Mousse-Wax would make the wave look smoother, and bring out the texture of the layers.To start, you need to shake the can, similar to a can of mousse.It was a little disturbing that it sounded like a can of spray paint, with a marble rattling around inside the can!I pushed the nozzle, and sprayed a golf ball sized 'puff' into my palm.The directions say to emulsify it into your hands, and apply it to the hair.It can be applied to damp or dry hair; I chose dry.Although it looks like mousse, it feels waxy.I didn't want to end up looking like I had greasy hair, so I tried to keep the product mostly on the ends of the hair shaft.I never used a brush, or comb; only my fingers to work the product through.
The end result was smoother waves, and lots of texture.It added shine, but the hair feels a bit waxy.There is a small amount of hold, but not stiff like a gel, or regular mousse.I like the way it made my hair look, however, it's a messier look than when I straighten my hair.I'd say it's good alternative for the days you don't want to flat-iron your hair.
If you want shine, texture, and a little bit of hold, you'll like the Kenra Mousse-Wax.If you don't like the feel of 'stuff' in your hair, you won't like it.I also wouldn't recommend it for hair without layering.
