Does this mousse flake at all? Dark hair + flakey mousse = disaster

No I do not recall it flaking at all, I didnt use it again because I have very thick hair and it did not hold like I like it. I usually buy a #4 or 5 hold, the max cause my hair is long and thick. Hope this helps!!

I have not noticed any flaking and my hair is brown with blond highlights. It is really a nice product. Something else I do with it is if I wash my hair one day and use the mousse then don't wash the next day-I can just turn my head upside down and blow it with the hair dryer and it just perks it all up really nice for me!

No, I haven't noticed any flaking. I suggest you use it sparingly. It can be heavy. I have dark hair as well. I only use this when my hair has become unruly before the next cut is due. I find that the Living Proof Full Thickening Cream -- just a dab -- with 3-4 pumps of Aveda Phomollient works best for me, but everyone's hair is different. This I found by trial and error. Good luck!

My hair is blonde, but I have never seen any flaking. I like their whole line of products.

I have deep red hair and I have not seen any flaking. I've been using it now for 2 1/2 weeks. Awesome mousse !!

HI, I have been using this for about 2 years and am completely pleased with it. I have silver hair but this mousse does not flake at all. Even one of my daughters has used it and her hair is dark brown. Not a problem - you will love it.

I cannot help you, as I have not used my curling brush. I have a larger one that heats instantly and the helen of troy brush is so slow I have not had the time to wait for it to heat, so just skip using it. Maybe one of these days. I think I had a Helen of Troy brush at one tme, and have never had a problem with any of them with a rolling barrel or a loose grip. The other reviews sound as if the only way to have a good experience is not to use it. I ordered a different brand (don't remember what it was, but it did not heat at all, so I guess those of us with short hair will just have to go for a longer hairdo!

As a curly-haired person who has never been able to wear bangs, its hard for me to say. I use this more as a curl definer than a product to hold a style in place. I would suggest throwing mousse in the mix after using the melting gel for more staying power.

I never put this product on my hair while wet. I only use it to shine my hair. I have pressed and flat ironed it while it was in my hair, but I did not have flakes. There is a solution that is in the same type of bottle but it is not the anti-breakage serum. I forgot what it was but I thought it was this product. When I saw it it was as lotion and dried like an awful dandruff. This serum is a clear thick oil that is not very greasy.

Yes me too experienced that. I used it regularly for 4 months but the hair kept falling more on its use and it created those white flakes too which weakened hair. This product is totally useless and waste of money and time and there is no gain of hair with it. Atleast not in my experience.

I have the same issue. If I use enough to get it to stay, I have issues with the white clumps showing up. If I use a small amount, it doesn't hold well enough. Thinking of trying a different brand, or maybe a darker color that will match my 'stache better.

Hi, kj. No the Crew product does not flake. I have been using this for a long time, and a small application gives my hair a modest sheen and body. Highly recommend it.

Speaking for me. I have dark hair. It appears to be the same color. I don't detect that it has darkend my hair, nor has it made it lighter. I generally use it as a hot oil treatment overnight. Sorry, don't know how much help I was to you.

Lately mine has been clumpy. To me, it smells citrus and fruity. You should mix it with water. It's concentrated. You have to find what works for you... I suggest trying this for two weeks and if you don't like it or you don't like the change in your hair, try another product like Lush or the Honest Company.

I actually never used the Flawless before this first time I tried it so I don't know how much darker it is. However, I had always used the Fake Bake Mousse and then tried the Flawless and I actually prefer the Mousse. I think it gives me a more natural looking tan and works much better (in my opinion). I just never looked like I even had any on with the Flawless unless I practically put it on every day and then about the time it would get about the right color I would need to exfoliate and start over. I went back to the Mousse.

I have fine, curly, very long hair prone to frizz. I frost it also so it's very dry. This works great and is not drying at all! It's actually very moisturizing.

I have a dark blonde hair at the roots. If I brush it through it look fine. Otherwise it can look a little chalky. I have tried three other dry shampoos and this one doesn't leave a perfume smell and give body too.

When i bought this i used it to make ombre hair on dark brown hair and it worked but then i dyed my hair completely black and tried to use this once again on black hair and it didnt catch color like on brown hair . I did the strand test and after 2 hours it turned into a red color so u can try but red is yout best bet .. Only if u process it several times but thats most likely goinng to damage ur hair .. What i ended up doing was spending 150$ to get it lighten since black is not a color easy to get rid of and even getting my hair professional done it turned out to lighten only to a reddish brown color

You could use a brown filler and it will be a little dark the first week or so.Or get a neutral protein filler.Go ahead and try it; it made a huge difference for me, and my hair was not taking color at all.

The directions say, dry or barely damp. It would not work on my hair (fine and soft), so I returned it.

You are right - no instructions were sent and I even checked with my hairdresser and she could not help. I only used it as a curling brush and it barely was hot enough to curl. I consider it a loss. Sorry I can't help.
