L'Oreal Paris EverStyle Alcohol-Free Curl Activating Mousse

I have wavy hair and this pumps the curls up. I scrunched my hair while applying this product and then used a diffuser. Love it. The product leaves my hair with a little crunch, but I like that in my curls.

I love other Ever Style products, but this is just awful. After repeated attempts to use less, or apply it in a different way, it continues to make my hair feel tacky and I can't run a comb through it. It makes my hair stiff and awful, and doesn't help...
