Hair mousse
Encyclopedia
Hair mousse is a hairstyling product
added to hair
for extra volume and shine. It is often dispensed in an aerosol
foam spray or in a cream form. Hair mousse adds volume to hair and often provides both conditioning
and hold, without any clumps or buildup. Hair mousse is a purple
color while in the can, but after it comes in contact with air it becomes an off-white color. One of the lighter-weight hair styling products, hair mousse is applied to wet hair before drying and styling. Hair mousse may also be referred to as styling foam. Hair mousse can be used on naturally curly or permed hair to reduce frizz and define curl. Hair mousse is easy to use and handle, and there is very little risk of immediate danger.
As a versatile hair styling product, hair mousse is a popular choice for both short and long hairstyles. When hair mousse is applied to wet hair that is allowed to air dry, the hair is often left with a "wet" look that can be "crunchy" feeling, but unlike hair gel
, hair mousse combs out easily for a softer look. When hair mousse is applied to wet hair that is dried with a hair dryer, it provides additional volume and hold.
There are hundreds of brands of hair mousse from professional to store brands, many delivering a quality styling product. Certain brands contain alcohol
, which is fine for most hair types except dry. For dry hair, look for hair mousse that contains natural conditioners and vitamins, but no alcohol. Users might also consider checking hair mousse and other styling products for ultraviolet
sun protection.
Color mousse is used to cover up grey hair
and to create hair styles
at the same time. Semi-permanent color mousse can be used to give toning to hair that is fading from the hair color process.It provides strong grip to hairs.
