Early verdict · Few reviews so far

What they liked

Used for classic scrunching
Mixes with other mousse

What they flagged

Nothing. None of the experts who reviewed it raised a problem.

What the gurus are saying

Scrunching it through the hair is the technique described in the takes, and it has earned a place in regular rotation. Mixing a little of it into a styling product they already had also left them pleased with the result. Neither take raised a downside, though not many gurus have weighed in yet, so there is not a big pool of opinions to go on.

"I use either Roz Milk Hair Mousse or the Crown Affair Air Dry Mousse, depending on what I have available, and I do the classic scrunch, scrunch, scrunch, scrunch."

"I also mixed in a little bit of the Crown Affair air dry mousse that I got for Christmas. And I do like that one as well."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
