I've been using mousse since I had my hair permed about a couple of years ago. I use VO5 but their new packaging sucks big time. I find Sunsilk a good alternative. It's more affordable plus I don't have to injure my fingers getting the mousse out.I've been seeing Monea in Watson's for some time already. I wasn't just sure if I wanted to try it until I saw it included in the Cosmo awards. I got me a bottle last Saturday. I've been using this product for 3 days now and here's what I can say so far.
The lotion is very thick. It's like the lotions from 10 years ago - thick and sticky but not greasy. You apply this the same way you apply mousse. Just put a small amount and scrunch into your hair from the tips up. It works really well! My curls are more defined with this. Even my bangs got curled! And they're straight! The only problem is, my hair doesn't feel natural. It feels heavy and a bit sticky. Maybe it's just the humidity? I'm not sure. It also feels like you have conditioner in your hair but not the leave on type. The type you have to rinse off. I also don't like the smell. It kinda reminds me of salon products used to treat hair.
I use it with Vitress hair shine. These two products, used separately are so-so but when used together, totally rock my hair! Just refrain from touching. It feels weird. Would I repurchase? Hmmmm.. Maybe yes, maybe no. I'll wait until I finish the whole bottle. If it doesn't work out, there's always Sunsilk to come home to.

I finished one bottle yesterday and YES, I am pledging my allegiance to Monea! After a few straight weeks of using this milk, I used Sunsilk mousse one day and really saw and felt the difference! I ain't going back. So if you have curly hair, buy this product. Now!
You can find this at Beauty by SM or Watsons and retails for P95 (approx $2.1)

hi, where can i get this monea curl defining milk? thanks!
ReplyDeleteyou can get it at Watsons or Beauty by SM
ReplyDeletehmm..i still prefer Finnesse mousse. It's the best mousse, in my opinion. It doesn't feel sticky nor heavy, and it has a good spell. However, it's quite pricey, 350pesos. But it's worth the money and I have no regret buying and using it.
ReplyDeleteit's so hard to find! not all watsons or sm beauty depts carry it
ReplyDelete@Anonymous Yes, it's always out of stock. Try The Landmark.
ReplyDeleteMale hir... monea always out of stock in landmark.. but i agree it feels heavy.. and very rough to remove when showering. what sunsilk is that?? tnx.. ^^
ReplyDeleteHi Rock! Thanks for visiting! I have found an abundant supply of Monea at Market! Market! department store. = )
ReplyDeleteI think that Sunsilk mousse is phased out already. It's the pink and gray bottle for curly hair.
hi!im just curious. your saying that you used this product (monea) with vitress. u mean, you put together the product? or you used the monea first then you put the vitress???
ReplyDeletehi kath!
ReplyDeleteI apply monea first then after a few minutes, I apply vitress. but this was before. I no longer do that. I just use monea

ReplyDeleteHi Karla! Unfortunately, the Vitress will not get rid of the stickiness. Just try to apply a small amount a time. That's what I do and it lessens the stickiness. Hope this helps!
