Schwarzkopf Extra Care Ultimate Repair Express Mousse Treatment
 |
| Schwarzkopf Mousse Treatment, 125ml ($8.99) |
I really do not like this.
This is a leave in treatment with 3x liquid keratin and it's meant to repair your hair without overburdening it. You are advised to simply put 3-6 pumps into towel dried hair and comb through and leave-in.
The only thing that I like about this product is its packaging. The black and gold packaging looks sleek, and it comes in a sturdy, easy to grip bottle. But that's about it. To me, this product is all looks, no substance.
The mousse formula is interesting and easy to use but the novelty of it wears off quickly and at the end of the day, you have a product that does NOTHING.
I have long hair that's coloured and often styled with heated tools. But if I follow the instructions and only put in 3 pumps of product, it still weighs down my hair and makes it slightly sticky and stiff. I get the same results whether I let it air dry or follow up with a blow dry.

| 2 pumps of product |
My hair can only handle about 2 pumps of product (see photo above). However at that amount, even though it doesn't weigh my hair down, it doesn't add anything either. It just leaves my hair with the product's sickly sweet scent, which I also happen to really dislike!
I should have known better and left the bottle on the shelf. I had previously tried the Repair and Gloss Treatment Spray from the same Ultimate Repair range and hated it so I don't know what possessed me to buy the mousse! I definitely won't be repurchasing or trying more from this range!
Summary
Positives
- Mousse formula, easy to use
- Sleek packaging
- Sturdy, easy to grip bottle
Negatives
- Does not improve hair condition
- Weighs down hair
- 3-6 pumps leaves hair feeling stiff and tacky
- Strong sweet scent (though admittedly, some people may like this)
- Opaque packaging makes it difficult to see how much product is left

Have a lovely day!!
