Volumizing hair mousse is a popular styling product used to add volume, body, and hold to the hair. Certainly, the formulas of the ‘80s were crunchy and stiff, but nowadays, new, improved formulas add unmatched body, shine, and hold without the downfalls of the mousse products we knew decades ago. Hair mousse doesn’t get enough credit for the way it sets our hair up. Mousse is surely one of the best hair styling products out there. So, below are some of the best volumizing hair mousses that will give your hair a new life.
1. Kérastase Densifique Leave-in Thickening Mousse:
The best part about this particular hair mousse is that it is non-sticky and lightweight, which a lot of other hair mousses are not. It’s formulated with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides, as well as glucose-peptides, to help reduce hair breakage and provide the hair with the essential nutrients that give it actual strength. This particular mousse also boosts the hair’s shine and gives it a thicker and fuller appearance. Though it’s a pretty pricey option, the versatility and positive results make it worth the money you spend on it.
2. Vegamour GRO Hair Foam for Thinning Hair:
As the name suggests, this hair mousse is a multipurpose product that is also a hair growth treatment and not just a volumizing mousse. It provides the benefits of a great hair mousse volume, lifts, and texture while also containing the necessary ingredients that penetrate the scalp to support fuller-looking hair. It’s been clinically proven to show visible results within 3 months, making it a suitable option for you if you wish to spend on a product that gives you twin benefits. I highly suggest this product if you too have been going through a hair-thinning problem.
3. R+Co Aircraft Pomade Mousse:
This mousse is loved by Pulitano for clients with fine, brittle, or dry hair, thanks to the inclusion of papaya, protein, and neem oil. “Mousse can be drying due to the alcohol content, but Aircraft is surprisingly soft and nourishing. I love smoothing it through the hair before a bouncy blow-dry for long-lasting results.” The addition of cornstarch prevents grease around the roots.
4. Oribe Grandiose Hair Plumping Mousse:
The soft, velvety, and colour-safe formula of the Oribe Grandiose Hair Plumping Mousse is amazing for building structure within the hair, ensuring excellent hold and a long-lasting finish. Also, it’s got that expensive signature Oribe scent. The mousse coats each hair fibre and provides the hair with a shiny bounce. The product is best suited for coloured hair.
5. IGK Big Time Volumizing Mousse:
If you have super frizzy hair and you’re looking for a mousse to use before you blow dry your hair to provide volume and smooth frizz, we recommend this one. After applying it to towel-dried hair and giving yourself a blowout, it works perfectly to add volume, control frizz and flyaways, and act as a heat protectant. It also helps to preserve the longevity of your hairstyle, and we love that it’s suitable for a wide range of hair types and styles. This product is a must-have, we’d say.
6. The Doux Mousse Der Texture Mousse:
This mousse is lightweight and contains natural moisturizers and silk proteins to tamp frizz, lock in moisture, and strengthen hair, leaving it soft and shiny. The users note that the formula sculpts and creates definition nicely without leaving any flakes behind. They have also noticed that the product can be drying, especially on the ends, so you might need to condition it a bit deeper or finish off with a lightweight hair oil. Other than this, the product is a great one, for it has an excellent lift and provides great shine to the hair.
7. Mielle Organics Pomegranate and Honey Curl-Defining Mousse:
This lightweight lifting mousse adds spring to your pretty curls. The users have observed how well it works to make coils pop and that it has amazing holding power. A botanical blend of fruit extracts helps provide humectant hydration while keeping frizz at bay, although some reviewers note that it gives their hair a slightly sticky feeling. But apart from that, it is a fairly good product.
Always look for products that contain ingredients to thicken and plump up the hair shaft. The texture of your volumizing mousse is also extremely important. It may differ from brand to brand and the formulations but a stronger mousse always means a thicker hold. With that being said, the mousses mentioned above were some of the best for different hair requirements. I hope you find the one that suits you the best and gives your hair the shine and bounce it deserves.
