We’re sorry to hear you’re not keen on the Caviar Volume Mousse; a possible alternative might be a combination of our Volumising Mist and Defining Foam from the new My Hair My Canvas range. Both of these are available on our website.

Hi Nancy,
Bamboo was actually discontinued at the end of 2017, however we’re aware that stock has still been available to purchase from some outlets since then.

I absolutely loved the Bamboo Mousse, and implore you to bring it back 🙏 I have repeatedly tried the Caviar mousse, which unfortunately gives me a really bad headache due to it’s perfume!! I have tried lots of other products, but none work on my very fine hair, so I’m relegated to the limp and lifeless team without Bamboo mousse. Please bring it back 😢 😭!!
