SURFACE Awaken Mousse — Color-Safe Volumizing Hair Mousse, 8.8 oz, Lightweight Flexible Hold & Thickening

Surface Awaken Mousse is a color-safe, volumizing styling mousse formulated with amaranth protein and botanical actives to thicken, strengthen, and hold fine or fragile hair without sulfates or parabens.

Designed for hair that needs lift, body and gentle reinforcement, this lightweight mousse uses plant-derived sugars and starches for flexible hold while saw palmetto, lysine and the Color Vita Complex support scalp and strand resilience. The formula avoids harsh ingredients — sulfate-free, paraben-free, gluten-free and cruelty-friendly — so you can style with confidence and minimal buildup. Use on clean, damp hair to build root lift and full-bodied movement before blow-drying or air-drying.

How does Surface Awaken Mousse create fuller-looking hair?

The mousse wraps and cushions each strand with botanical polymers and proteins that visually increase diameter and add lift at the root. Its light foam distributes evenly from roots to ends so hair keeps natural motion while appearing thicker.

• Amaranth protein provides flexible reinforcement to fragile fibers.
• Plant sugars and starches create volume without crunchy stiffness.
• Even foaming texture spreads easily for uniform body.

Will this mousse protect hair from heat styling?

Surface Awaken Mousse helps strengthen strands and adds a protective film that reduces stress from brushing and heat tools during styling. It’s formulated to be used prior to blow-drying to support better styling results and reduced breakage from manipulation.

• Use on damp hair before blow-drying for best protection and lift.
• Flexible hold allows movement while minimizing stiffness under heat.
• Helps fortify delicate cuticles with a protein-rich blend.

Is this safe for color-treated and sensitive scalps?

Yes — the mousse is color-safe and free from sulfates, parabens, phthalates and other common irritants that can strip dye or aggravate sensitive scalps. It also avoids ingredients like DEA/TEA and PVP/VA, making it a gentler choice for maintained color vibrancy.

• Color Vita Complex helps support hair vibrancy without harsh detergents.
• Formulated without common irritants and gluten.
• Suitable for frequent styling without heavy residue buildup.

How do I use the mousse for maximum volume and hold?

Dispense the foam into your palms, distribute from roots to ends on clean, damp hair, then blow-dry with a round brush or air-dry for softer texture. For targeted root lift, apply directly at the scalp and lift sections while drying.

• Apply evenly to damp hair for balanced volume.
• Blow-dry with heat for stronger lift; air-dry for a softer finish.
• Layer sparingly to avoid weighing down fine hair.

Who is this for: Surface Awaken Mousse is aimed at people with fine, thin or fragile hair who want natural-looking volume, flexible control and ingredient-conscious formulas. It’s a good fit for color-treated hair and anyone seeking a cruelty-conscious, sulfate- and paraben-free styling option that strengthens strands while delivering everyday body.
