Blast from the past - Finesse Firm Hold Mousse!

Is that really me in all my 80's glory? Damn skippy it is and I looked bitchin'! But let me tell you, it wasn't easy getting that much volume into my extremely fine hair - a teasing brush and Finesse Mousse were the only things that worked - so I was surprised and pleased when I recently discovered that it's still around, the packaging has changed but my hair still loves it!

Finesse Sculpt + Control Firm Hold Mousse - 150g - $5.49 - works to create lasting body and control as it lifts hair into shape and tames flyaways and frizz with an alchohol-free, silk and soy protein formula that keeps hair conditioned and soft to the touch.

What I remember best though is the distinctive smell - it's still the same and it brings me back to being a teen - and there is a whole line of shampoos, conditioners and styling products with the beloved smell and a really reasonable price-point - less then 6 bucks - you really can't go wrong!

Available at drug and mass retailers across Canada.
