Mousse Vs. Gel

Understanding which product to use goes a long way towards beautiful hair.

Both mousse and gel can provide great results, but it's important to understand exactly what product you need for your hair. Traditionally, mousse like MOUSSE PLUS Volumizing Foam Styler is used for volume and to help create a look, and gels like EXXTRA GEL Style Creation Sculptor are used for definition and hold. Both mousses and gels help define the style you want, what’s best for you depends on the look you want to achieve, and the unique characteristics of your hair. It’s easy to get confused sometimes, especially as science has improved and expanded upon products, creating mousses such as GORGEOUS CURLS Curl Enhancing Foam Styler, which can define curls, as well. What matters is the look you are going for. Be sure to read the descriptions on your products carefully and consider the style you desire in deciding which products are best for you.

  • To add fullness, apply mousse to slightly damp hair, working the foam from your scalp to the ends of your hair before blow-drying and styling.
  • To define and hold curls, apply gel to the outer layer of dry or very lightly damp hair in gentle upward scrunching motions for curl definition and hold.

Products such as VERSASTYLER Artistic Designing Lotion combine the virtues of both mousse and gel for exceptionally touchable yet firm hold. This alcohol-free lotion is ideal for thermal styling, wet looks, or brushed out for soft, shiny, and bouncy styles.
