In terms of styling, hair mousse is the MVP no one speaks enough about. It gives lift, structure, and hold without the crunch, so it is a must-have for anyone seeking volume and texture. If you're seeking bounce for your curls or order for straight hair, mousse is the solution.
But with many of these products in the market, how do you select the best one that certainly would not give you a hard time? Let us walk you through how mousse works, the different benefits it offers based on hair types, and how to apply it for long-term results.
What Does Mousse Do for Hair?
One common question is, what does mousse do for hair? Mousse is a mild foam that provides hair with texture, body, and definition without weighing it down. It is suitable for creating lift at the roots, boosting waves or curls, and creating hair that's "full but soft."
Unlike gels or sprays, mousse mixes well and the best part is that it won't harden your hair. This is perfect for people who want hold with movement—perfect for days when limp or flat hair simply won't fly.
How to Use Hair Mousse Like a Pro
The good news is, using mousse is easy. Here's how to use hair mousse for maximum results:
-
Start with clean, damp hair.
-
Shake the bottle and apply an egg-sized quantity on your palm.
-
Apply mousse from roots to ends, section by section.
-
With your fingers or a wide-tooth comb, work mousse into hair for even distribution.
-
Blow-dry using a round brush or air-dry curls for definition.
For less frizzy hair styling, pair GK Hair's Styling Mousse with GK Hair’s Leave-In Conditioner Spray. It gets hair ready and allows mousse to work more evenly and delivers moisture.
Mousse for Curly Hair
If you have curls, mousse can be a good game changer. It makes your curl pattern strong, defies frizz, and produces definition without crunch of gel. To perform optimally, purchase a mousse explicitly labeled as mousse for curly hair—these products have conditioning ingredients that soften and make your curls elastic. Use a diffuser with your blow dryer for added volume. The diffuser is an excellent tool to use to protect your curls while providing lift at the crown.
Choosing the Right Mousse for Your Hair Type
All mousse are not made the same. Do you have thin hair? Then go for a volumizing mousse that won't weigh your hair down. Or if you have thick or curly hair, go for a mousse with extra moisture and frizz control.
We recommend you use the GK Hair’s VolumizeHer Mousse. It is light but still gives your hair a boost that lasts the whole day. And it works on straight, wavy, and curly hair without being sticky.
Blow-dry using a vented round brush to add shape and bounce without overheating your hair. We recommend you use the GK Hair’s Vent Brush for better results.
Mousse Myths: Busted
Others avoid mousse, thinking it dries or damages hair. But that's mostly because of poor product selection or misapplication. A quality mousse used with a heat protectant won't damage your hair, rather it can help you style better and reduce the need for too much heat.
Keep your hair healthy by having a weekly deep-conditioning. The GK Hair’s Deep Conditioner is a great choice to add moisture and preserve elasticity—particularly if you frequently use styling equipment.
