Cake Beauty The Big Wig Volumizing Mousse — 8.4 oz High-Volume Foam, Flexible Hold & 450°F Heat Protection

Cake Beauty's The Big Wig Volumizing Mousse is a weightless, flexible-hold foam that delivers instant 2X lift, touchable volume and 450°F heat protection without flake or crunch.

Designed for anyone who wants fuller-looking hair without stiffness, The Big Wig blends a feather-light texture with nourishing vitamin E and a dessert-inspired lemon cookie scent. This mousse layers easily under styling tools, provides shape-memory for blowouts, and rinses clean while remaining vegan and cruelty-free. It’s formulated without parabens, sulfates, phthalates or talc and works on a range of hair types from straight to wavy.

How does this mousse create noticeable lift without weighing hair down?

The formula uses an airy foam base that coats strands evenly to add body at the root and along the shaft while keeping each strand flexible. Instead of stiff polymers that cause crunch, it relies on a light hold system that preserves movement and bounce.

• Weightless foam texture that spreads easily through damp hair
• Flexible hold for touchable volume without stiffness or flaking
• Vitamin E to help smooth and nourish strands during styling
• Proven to boost visible volume up to 2X instantly when applied at roots

Can I use The Big Wig with hot tools and how does the heat protection work?

The Big Wig offers thermal protection rated to 450°F, so it’s suitable as a prep product before blow-drying, flat-ironing or using a curling iron. Applied to damp hair and activated by heat, the mousse helps the style set while protecting strands from direct high temperatures.

• Apply to damp hair, then blow-dry for best results
• Heat-activated protection up to 450°F to support styling tools
• Shape-memory helps hold volume created with hot tools

What is the scent and will it interfere with perfume or other styling products?

The Big Wig features a gourmand lemon cookie fragrance with top notes of caramelized lemon, mandarin and bergamot, a warm baked middle and a creamy vanilla-musk base. The scent is designed to be uplifting but not overpowering, and it layers well under light perfumes or finishing sprays.

• Gourmand lemon cookie scent with citrus and vanilla facets
• Formulated to be pleasant yet subtle after styling
• Compatible with other Cake Beauty styling products for cohesive fragrance

How do I get the most volume from The Big Wig during styling?

For maximum lift, shake the can, dispense a dollop into your palms and rake through damp hair from roots to ends. Blow-dry while lifting hair away from the scalp or use a round brush to set roots; finish with a texture spray for extra hold and separation.

• Shake well then distribute through damp hair concentrating at roots
• Blow-dry hair lifted from the scalp or use a round brush for targeted root lift
• Pair with Cake Beauty Volume Shampoo, Thickening Conditioner, or Texture Spray for layered body

Who is this for? The Big Wig Volumizing Mousse is ideal for anyone seeking lightweight, salon-style volume with flexible hold—people with fine, limp or straight hair will notice immediate lift, while wavy hair can gain added body and definition. It also suits those who frequently use heated tools and want built-in thermal protection, plus anyone preferring vegan and cruelty-free formulas free of parabens, sulfates and phthalates. If you want fuller hair without stiffness or residue, this mousse is engineered to deliver lift, scent and heat protection in one easy step.
