For all of you out there if styling your hair up the right way is a major priority then HAIR MOUSSE shall be your God.

HOW TO USE A HAIR MOUSSE

STEP 1: CLEAN HAIR

Start with clean hair. Shampoo well before using any mousse.

STEP 2: WRING YOUR HAIR OUT

After you’ve turned the water off but before you hop out of the shower, flip your head over and squeeze any excess water out of your hair. Use a cotton T-shirt to gently pat your hair dry. The T-shirt will be softer than your regular towel, which could add to hair breakage when used to dry wet hair.

STEP 3: SET UP YOUR BLOW-DRYER

Use a diffuser, if you want to rock curly hair and pop on a concentrator nozzle, if straight hair is the look you’re going for.

STEP 4: APPLY HAIR MOUSSE

When it comes to hair mousse, keep in mind that less is more. Really, you don’t need to use a ton to get the results you want. Work about an egg-sized blob of hair mousse through your damp tresses, concentrating the product on your roots.

STEP 5: CONCENTRATE YOUR BLOWOUT UPWARDS

Just like stylists do at the salon, grab a round brush and gently pull hair upwards while blow-drying. This upward motion can add a bit of extra lift at your roots, helping to add volume. You can either tug outward, back, and away from your face with a straight concentrator for a classic blowout, or you can position the diffuser underneath your curls and blow upwards to add definition and shape to your curls. This all depends on the look you’re going for.

STEP 6: USE A COMB OR BOAR BRISTLE BRUSH

It’s natural to want to touch up your hairstyle after you’ve blown it out. When doing so, be sure to use a gentle boar bristle brush or a wide tooth comb in order to avoid harshly tugging at your hair.

Now, special tips for damaged hair.

If you have damaged hair refrain from using heat treatment and just a apply a little mousse on wet hair and let it air dry.

So, all in all, 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.
