What is hair mousse?
Hair mousse is a light to medium weight styling product sold in a pressurized can. When you disburse the product into your hand, the foam expands. The foam is much lighter in consistency than gel. It's worked into hair from root to tip before drying or styling. Hair mousse is usually applied to clean, damp hair. The synthetic polymers and resins coat the hair shaft to add body and volume.
Why do people put mousse in their hair? What does it do?
Hair mousse was exceptionally popular in the 1980s. The product was considered essential for styles of the time. Today, hair mousse is making a comeback as hair-conscious consumers rediscover its remarkable versatility. People of all ages and style preferences are adding mousse to their hairstyling routine to add volume, shine, manageability, and hold.
Hair mousse is suitable for nearly every hair type, including color-treated hair. The polymers in hair mousse are heat activated, meaning they help heat-style hair hold its shape. Styling with hair mousse can help define curls, volumize fine hair, and keep frizz in check. The right product can also help protect heat-styled hair from damage.
How do I use hair mousse for curls?
Hair mousse can give your curls a soft yet touchable hold. With the right formulation and application, styling mousse can give your coils and curls light-reflecting smoothness that lasts. You can also use the foam to revive your style between washings.
The curl-boosting potential of hair styling mousse starts with clean, slightly damp hair. After detangling, apply about a golf-ball-sized dollop to your hair. Smooth the foam from the roots to the ends. Once applied, allow your hair to set for a few minutes undisturbed. Then scrunch your curls toward your head with a microfiber towel or soft cotton cloth while removing excess water. After allowing your hair to dry naturally (or with a diffuser), use a pick to fluff the roots and accentuate the volume.
Is hair mousse bad for my hair?
When used as directed, mousse can do wonders for your style. However, hair mousse does contain alcohol. Although most people can use hair care products made with alcohol without issues, anyone with dry hair may want to take the time to check the list of ingredients before applying hair mousse to their tresses.
Like gels, hairspray, pomade, and other styling products, overusing hair mousse may not be the best idea, but leave-in foam styling products are unlikely to do any significant harm. Anecdotal evidence suggests the polymers tend to act as a conditioning agent that could help protect heat-styled hair from damage.
