Do you long for a rich hairstyle full of definition, but your hair just won't cooperate? The simple solution is hair mousse! A good hair mousse can add long-lasting volume, prevent frizz, accentuate curls and much more - you just need to select a mousse with the right effect on Notino!
What are the advantages of hair mousse?
- The unique foam texture is lightweight and gives hair plenty of volume.
- It sets the hair without losing elasticity and shine.
- Gives the hair texture and definition.
- Mousse doesn't usually leave a sticky layer or hard crust on your hair - you just need to know how to work with it properly.
- Hair mousse is suitable for almost all hair types.
- It has a great range of formulations and effects - protection during heat styling, hydration, curl support and long-lasting hold.
How to choose the right styling mousse?
There are hair mousses with different effects and different levels of hold. Let’s take a look:
The best mousse for fine hair
Fine, limp or thin hair can be saved by using a low-hold volumising mousse. On the other hand, avoid strong hold and sculpting mousses, which can weigh down fine hair and unnecessarily reduce volume.
The best mousse for curly hair
A wave-enhancing mousse helps to perfectly define natural waves and curls. It holds curls, gives them shape, richness and shine and prevents frizz. For wavy hair that is fine and prone to frizz, choose a low to medium level of hold. For tight, thick curls, choose a strong hold.
The best mousse for coarse, frizzy and unruly hair
If you have unruly hair, mousse can help you tame it. Use a mousse with a strong hold before styling to ensure a beautiful hairstyle that lasts.
Hair mousse for men and for short hair
Mousse is also suitable for short hair - perfect for men with fine or thin hair. The mousse will help add richness, volume, texture and hold to a style. It's the perfect way to create a mischievous tousle or a neat pompadour. But if you have thick or coarse short hair, you can achieve better results using a pomade or styling wax.
Specialty mousses
- Hair colouring mousse: In addition to typical styling mousse, we also offer hair colouring mousse or coloured mousse. It not only secures hair, but also temporarily colours it. Practical for covering grey hair, tinting or experimenting with a new colour.
- Travel hair mousse pack: You will appreciate the travel size hair mousse when travelling. Thanks to the practical mini-packaging, you can keep it handy in your handbag at all times.
How to use hair mousse properly?
Forget about sticky and hard hair! You'll love mousse if you use it properly.
How can you achieve the best results?
- Wash your hair with your favourite shampoo and conditioner.
- Towel dry your hair. They should be damp to wet, but no water should drip from them when you wring them.
- Apply mousse to the palm of your hand - the amount should be roughly the size of a golf ball. Always start with less mousse first and add more as needed. Excess or uneven application of mousse can cause the hair to look greasy and some strands to become stiff under the product.
- Spread the mousse over the entire length of the hair. The mousse is applied to the roots of the hair for volume and to the hair lengths for definition and texture. Gently brush the mousse through the hair with a wide-toothed comb.
- Now you can let your hair air-dry for a naturally defined style or get to work on styling. If you want to achieve a lot of volume, you can use curlers or foam papillotes. If you plan to style your hair with a hairdryer, curling iron or flat iron, always choose a mousse with thermal protection.
Tip: Some styling mousses contain alcohol in their formula, which can over-dry the hair and make it prone to damage. If you are going to use mousse frequently, choose an alcohol-free formula instead.
