The Style Factor Edge Booster Extra Strength Formula Setting Mousse – Citrine is a standout in the world of styling products, offering a rare balance between strong hold and hair nourishment. Marketed toward those who love defined curls, sleek blowouts, or long-lasting braid and twist styles, this mousse delivers on multiple fronts.
From the moment you dispense the foam, the experience feels luxurious. The mousse is thick yet lightweight, and it melts easily into the hair without leaving behind any residue or stickiness. The “Citrine” scent is refreshing—a bright, citrusy fragrance that doesn’t overpower but leaves hair smelling clean and pleasant throughout the day.
In terms of performance, this mousse gives strong, touchable hold that doesn’t flake or create crunch. It keeps styles locked in place while still allowing movement, which is perfect for natural hairstyles like twist-outs, roller sets, or protective styling. It also tames frizz and flyaways effortlessly, even in humidity. Users with natural, relaxed, or chemically treated hair will appreciate its versatility.
What sets it apart further are the ingredients. Biotin, Jamaican black castor oil, shea butter, and coconut oil contribute to moisture retention and hair strength, while rosemary and peppermint oils help stimulate the scalp. It’s a rare formula that styles and supports hair health at the same time.
