Morning After Redefining Foam For Styling And Curl Refreshing

Lightweight and makes a noticeable difference in reviving curls

general reviewer

Reboots second/third-day curls, making hair curly and full of life again with excellent results between washes

reviewer with coarse/curly hair

Works better than restyling mist spray for second/third day styling on permed hair, and doesn't have much scent

reviewer with permed hair

Adds volume but pulls moisture out of hair for drier hair types, needing to be combined with other products

reviewer with dry hair

Did not make curls pop and added no noticeable value -- felt like a waste of money

Smell was unpleasant and left hair frizzy, though it did add volume

2-star Ulta reviewer (Ann, Houston TX)

How this page was made

  • This page is assembled from the same researched records the individual product pages render: identity, each ingredient list as printed, each brand's own claims, dated price observations, and review themes written in our researchers' own words. Nothing on it is written per comparison.
  • We do not rank these against each other. Which of them suits you depends on your hair, and that is what the consultation works out.
  • The formula similarity percentage is a stored, precomputed number: position-weighted overlap of the two ingredient lists blended with agreement on the attributes we derive. It measures how alike two formulas are, not how well either works.
  • The value band is a fixed label over two stored numbers: this product’s cost per ounce as a percentile of every product of this type we have priced, each at the size it is most often sold in, and how many products we score as doing the same job cost at least a quarter less per ounce.
  • The "Is this right for you?" panel reads only your own consultation answers, and it applies exactly the filters our recommendation engine applies. It is computed when you load the page and is never stored on it.
  • 3 sources were consulted across the products on this page.
  • Ingredient order tells you relative amount only above roughly 1%. Prices are observations on the dates shown and change without notice. We do not sell these products and take no placement fees.
  • This is cosmetic information, not medical advice, and nothing here diagnoses or treats a health condition.
