  1. The different categories of mousse
  2. For better hold
  3. For maximum volume
  4. For curl enhancement

If hair mousse isn’t part of your blow-dry routine, you might be missing out on more volume, better hold, or more defined curls. Most formulas fall into three main categories: hold, volume, and curl definition. The right choice depends on what you want from your style.

Choose a mousse for the results you want

Applied before blow-drying, mousse helps prepare your hair for styling. A mousse volumizer adds body and lift, while a hold-focused formula helps your style last longer. If your curls need moisture and definition, a mousse for curly hair can help bring out their shape.

Whether you choose a curl mousse or a formula for volume or hold, the goal is to make styling easier and give you more control over the result. Depending on the formula, you can also get added shine, hydration, and protection, with a finish that lasts all day.

Our two favorites for longer-lasting hold

If your style starts to fall flat before the day is over, a hair mousse designed for hold can help it last longer. These formulas help maintain the shape and texture you create, so your styling efforts don’t go to waste. Here are our two favorites for keeping your hair looking freshly styled for longer.
