How Do You Use Hair Mousse?
Styling mousse is considered to be a bit of a wonder product as it combines multiple benefits in one formula and is also super easy to use. You can apply mousse to dry or damp hair. Here is a step-by-step guide:

For damp hair: Most types of hair mousse are best applied to towel-dried hair.
1. Start by shampooing and conditioning your hair so that it's clean
2. Lightly dry hair with a towel
3. Apply a golf-ball sized amount of mousse into your palm and scrunch into your hair. Use a comb to distribute evenly from root to tip.
4. Use a blow dryer to activate the mousse and add unbelievable volume. Try hanging hair upside down until partially dry, then flipping back upright and using a comb or brush to lift hair at the roots while drying for best results!

For dry hair: Hair mousse that's applied to dry hair can leave it looking matte and weighed down. However, it can be used in moderation after styling to smooth down stray hairs and set your style in place.
1. Squeeze a small amount of mousse into your hand
2. Use your fingertips to gently brush the mousse over your hair to settle flyaways and hold everything in place

Do You Apply Mousse to Wet or Dry Hair?
Most hair mousses are best applied to damp, towel-dried hair. This is because many of them require heat to activate the ingredients and add volume which will happen during blow-drying. If volume isn't important to you, you can leave your hair to dry naturally. Hair mousse can be applied to dry hair as long as you use them sparingly. They're a great way to smooth down frizz and add some extra definition to wavy or curly hair.

Mousse is very versatile and can help you to create and hold any hair style, from glamourous tresses and textured beach waves to sleek ponytails and messy up-dos.
