Mastering the Basics: How to Apply Hair Mousse
In the world of styling products, only a few offer the versatility and ease of use that hair mousse does. At TRESemmé we understand this and that’s why we’re sharing a simple guide on how to use a hair mousse, to help you elevate your look with volume, definition and unique style.
Join us as we dive into the basics of applying hair mousse.
What Does Hair Mousse Do?
Before we delve into the step-by-step guide, let's first get an understanding of what hair mousse is and what it’s used for, to uncover why it has become a staple for many in the world of hairstyling. Hair mousse is a lightweight styling foam designed to add volume, enhance definition and provide flexible hold for your hairstyle without weighing it down. Whether you have curly, wavy or straight hair, a hair mousse is a versatile product that can work wonders for your hair.
But why choose hair mousse for your styling needs when there are so many tools, gels and other products available? Hair mousse provides a great alternative to heat styling, allowing you to achieve your favourite hairstyle without risking heat damage.
Additionally, certain mousses offer frizz-fighting properties. This combined with the volume, definition and other hair benefits this product can bring, makes it a favourite among those seeking a light, bouncy finish to any hairstyle. The secret to getting your voluminous style is in how you apply the products, and we’re here to help you with that.
The Step-by-Step Guide to Applying Hair Mousse
1. Start with Clean, Damp Hair: For the best results, begin with freshly washed and conditioned hair. For an added boost of hair volume, consider using our volumising TRESemmé 24 Hour Body, Volume & Body Shampoo and Conditioner. Then, gently towel-dry your hair until it is damp but not dripping.
2. Choose the Right Mousse: Not all hair mousses are created equal, so ensure you select mousse that speak to your hairstyling needs. For example, our TRESemmé Volume and Lift Mousse, suitable for all hair types, will give you a long-lasting curl definition or volume, without the crunchy feeling. TRESemmé Volume and Lift Mousse provides superior, natural-looking volume, leaving your hair feeling natural, rather than stiff or weighed down.
3. Dispense an Appropriate Amount: When it comes to mousse, you can be generous when it comes to application. So, go ahead and shake your TRESemmé Mousse to activate the product then dispense about 2 golf ball-sized amounts into your palm, adjusting as needed based on your hair length and thickness.
4. Even Distribution: Evenly distribute the mousse through your hair, ensuring that every strand is coated. Focus on the roots for added lift and work your way down to the tips.
5. Comb Through: Use a wide-tooth comb to evenly distribute the mousse and detangle your hair. This step ensures that the product is well-spread and avoids clumping.
6. Style as Desired: Finally, style your hair as desired, whether it's a sleek look, defined curls or voluminous waves. Our TRESemmé mousse provides the foundation for a light, long-lasting and flexible hold.
Now that you know how to use hair mousse, let’s look into some bonus styling tips to ensure you use the mousse effectively so you can enjoy runway-worthy results!
Pro Styling Tips for Using Hair Mousse
Whether you’re looking for a hair mousse for braids, wigs, the mousse for curly hair or straight hair, our TRESemmé Volume and Lift Mousse is the solution. Here are some of the tips to help you use and apply the TRESemmé Volume and Lift Mousse:
• Layering Products: If you're using other styling products like styling gel, apply them before the mousse for a seamless blend and enhanced results.
• Diffuser Attachment: If you have curly locks, consider using a diffuser attachment on your hairdryer. This helps set curls and add volume without causing frizz.
• Avoid Overloading: While it's tempting to add more product for extra hold, resist the urge. Overloading on mousse can leave your hair sticky and stiff.
Once you’ve achieved that desired look, remember to take care of your mousse-enhanced style to ensure your beautiful curls or volume lasts. Wrap your hair in a silk or satin scarf before you go to bed to minimise friction and frizz.
Whether you prefer a sleek look, bouncy curls or voluminous waves, this styling essentially offers you the flexibility to express your personality with gorgeous hairstyles. So, choose our TRESemmé Mousse and follow our styling guides, to elevate your everyday look, and let your hair speak volumes!
