Sublimated hair

There are so many hair care products to choose from, it can be hard to find your way around. Styling mousse is a must. Ideal for adding volume and redefining curls. In this article, find out all you need to know about this important ally in your hair routine.

What is styling mousse?

Styling mousse is a hair care product generally presented in the form of a light, airy mousse. It is designed to facilitate styling, add volume and maintain hair’s shape throughout the day. Easy to use, it adapts to all hair types, especially fine hair that lacks volume or curly hair that needs extra definition.

The different types of styling mousse

Volumizing foams

These mousses are specially designed to add volume to fine, lifeless hair. Thanks to their polymer-enriched formula, they offer long-lasting hold and help give the illusion of denser, thicker hair.

Curl-defining foams

Designed for people with curly hair, these mousses redefine and restructure curls without weighing them down. They also offer good hold and help fight frizz.

Thermo-protective foams

The purpose of these foams is to protect your hair from the harmful effects of heat from hair dryers or styling appliances such as straightening irons or curling irons. In addition to their styling power, they form a protective film that preserves the health of your hair fiber.

How to choose the right styling mousse?

To find the ideal styling mousse, consider your hair type and your specific needs. Here are a few tips to guide you:

• For fine hair: opt for a light volumizing mousse that won’t weigh your hair down.
• For curly hair: choose a curl-defining mousse for soft, bouncy, frizz-free curls.
• If you regularly use heated appliances to style your hair, opt for a thermo-protective mousse that will care for your hair while making styling easier.

Don’t forget to take into account the holding power of styling mousse, which can vary from one product to another. Some foams offer a light hold for a natural effect, while others offer a stronger hold for greater durability.

How to use styling mousse

To get the most out of your styling mousse, here are a few key steps to follow:

1. Wash and towel-dry your hair without rubbing it, to avoid frizz.
2. Shake the styling mousse bottle well before use and place a dab of mousse in the palm of your hand. Adjust the quantity according to the length and density of your hair.
3. Distribute the mousse throughout damp hair, concentrating on the roots if you’re looking for volume. If you have curls, apply the mousse to each strand to distribute the product evenly and redefine curls.
4. Dry your hair with a hairdryer or air dry, as you prefer.
5. If necessary, finalize your style with other hair care products such as gel, cream or setting spray.
