AI Review Summary
The product is widely regarded as effective for defining and enhancing curls. Users frequently note its ability to provide hold without leaving hair crunchy or stiff. It is often described as lightweight and effective at controlling frizz, adding shine, and boosting volume. Many customers appreciate its pleasant scent and report that it contributes to hair softness and hydration, maintaining styles for extended periods. However, some users experienced the product as sticky or leaving residue, while others found it ineffective or drying for their hair.
Soft and defined curls
I have naturally curly hair that tends to get frizzy and undefined, especially in humid weather, but this foam gives my curls a noticeably smoother, bouncier look without any stiffness. From the first pump, the scent is fresh and pleasant not too strong, and the foam feels light and airy. I distribute it through damp hair from roots to ends, scrunch it in, and let my curls air dry or diffuse. The results are soft, well shaped curls with gentle hold no crunchy cast, no flakes, just natural movement. I’ve tried heavier gels before that weigh my hair down or leave it crunchy, but this styling foam keeps my curls defined and touchable all day.
Great defining but can worsen tangles
My daughter and I both have curly hair. My hair is fine and tends to go limp by the end of the day and this product works great for me--I don't have any complaints for myself. My daughter's hair tends to be puffy/frizzy and tangles really easily. This does a nice job of calming the frizz and giving some definition, but if she doesn't wash her hair every day, which is too often for her, there's just enough stickiness from this to make her tangles a nightmare. She still uses it from time to time, but it doesn't work as an everyday product for her.
Bouncy curls
Okay, so I just tried this styling foam and wow, my curls are seriously poppin' today! It gives them such great definition without feeling crunchy at all, which is a huge win for me. My hair feels so much softer and bouncier, and it actually lasts through the day. I'm definitely going to be repurchasing this stuff, it's become my new holy grail for managing my waves. Seriously, if you're looking for something to amp up your curls, you HAVE to give this a go!

Love!
I use this product is basically a type of mousse for my hair! My hair sometimes has a really hard time holding curls, so I always have to add product to it, which is why I use this occasionally it helps the hair hold the curl a lot better

Great easy curls
My son is 14 with curly long hair. I've tried many products and this one is the best. It's easy to use for a picky teen and makes curls last and effortless. Definitely recommend!
Fine not amazing
This product is fine. It’s not my absolute favorite, but it does its job and it’s very affordable. It leaves my hair a little bit too crunchy and can be kind of difficult to get out of my hair but like I said it does it this job.
So nostalgic
I got this recently for a nostalgic costume and honestly, I’m impressed. I think they improved the formula. It wasn’t as difficult to clean out of my hair and didn’t leave my hair too crunch
Great Product!
Great product! Love the brand, their products work really well on curly hair. The product isn’t heavy so it doesn’t weigh down the hair! Love this and will be purchasing again!

Great product and Great Smell.
I have found John Frieda products to be hit or miss for my hair. However this styling foam is great. It’s not a heavy product and creates great volume ! I am also sensitive to smells and this one smells great. It has a slight lemon scent. I try to not spend a lot of money on hair products if I don’t have to. When a product works it works luckily John Frieda is at a great price point and very affordable!
