Hair Mousses

Hair Mousse Ingredients 

Description: Hair mousses are light consistency hairstyling products which define, protect, and add volume to hair. They are suitable for all hair types but are applied in different ways, depending on the hair type. The mousse should be used on wet hair, either as a foam or as a creamy substance, after which the hair is dried or styled. 

Trends and Ingredients: there are mousses for various types of hair including color-treated hair. Styling mousses for men are also becoming more popular, on trend with the increased interest in man care products. A fast-paced lifestyle requires easy hair care solutions, and hair mousse offers that solution. The products we offer for hair mousses include Polyquaternium 11PE, an ingredient which improves combability and enhances natural shine and PVP K30W which can be used to provide good curl retention. In addition, there is a range of hydrating ingredients and polymers, which improve the quality of hair mousses and prevent dry and frizzy hair and help maintain a natural balance.
