Dear Melissa,I bought BOTH of these foams because I couldn't decide either. First off I have loose curly hair, so I don't need volume, but I prefer mousse over gel! Now, there is a big difference between these to foams. The original sculpting foam deffinately does have more conditioners-- it's practically all conditioners. It has Keratin Amino Acids, Panthenol, Chamomile, Jojoba Oil, Awapuhi and Aloe. The extra body has ONLY awapuhi and made up primarily of PVP/VA copolymers. This is what gives it more hold. The original foam only has polyquatinum-11 for hold, and it is rather far down there on the ingred. list. Now this is my observation of the two:The extra body is a lot of crunch! This stuff can be pretty stiff and I dont like the way it makes my hair feel--wet or dry-- it is NOT conditioning. I totally prefer the original foam. I still get enough hold to control my curl, but I get tons of conditioning! The original is definately my choice and I consider it to be one of the best mousses that I have ever used!Sherry> Is the only difference between the original styling> foam and the Extra-Body styling foam more volume?
