Hair Mousse & Foam

Mousse is the lightest way to add body. The range includes volumising and thickening mousses from SexyHair, Kenra and Bumble and bumble, curl foams for wavy and curly hair, and braid and wrap foams. Prices mostly fall between £26 and £41.

For fine hair, work a golf-ball amount into damp roots before blow-drying. For curls, scrunch foam through wet hair and leave it to dry or diffuse. If your hair feels dry or crunchy with mousse, look for alcohol-free or flexible-hold formulas.

Frequently asked questions

Is mousse good for fine hair?

Yes. Mousse adds lift and thickness without the weight of creams or oils, which is why it is a common choice for fine or flat hair.

Can I use mousse on curly hair?

Curl foams and mousses give light, touchable definition and are often used instead of gel on wavy and loose curls.

How much mousse should I use?

Start with a golf-ball amount for shoulder-length hair and add more only if needed. Too much can leave hair stiff or sticky.
