On trial -- volume boosting mousse

mousse,hair products,hair styling products,hair,Charles Worthington,Products on trial on trial volume boosting mousse

The changeable British weather can wreak havoc with your hair, ruining carefully constructed hairstyles with one quick, cold rain shower, but a good styling mousse can really help defend your style from the affects of wind, rain and cold. Mousse has, in the past, received a bad rap for being too heavy and leaving a sticky residue in hair but the latest formulas are lightweight yet give brilliant hold and are now the go-to product for creating volume. We\'ve tested five of the latest products, check out the results.

Charles Worthington Front Row Big Hair Sculpting Mousse
\"While I have thick, straight hair my roots can often fall flat. This product easily helped restore some balance. After washing my hair and letting it mostly air dry, I then scrunched some mousse through. Just a few minutes with my hairdryer and my hair was volumised and glam. Along with smelling great, my hair still looked great from morning through to post-work drinks.\"

\"I have thick, curly hair that often gets weighed down by most products designed to calm frizz but this mousse completely transformed my flattened locks. After applying the mousse from the roots through to the ends I blasted my hair with a hairdryer and was left with big, bouncy, frizz-free curls which stayed up all day and night.\"

\"This has got to be my new best friend! Not only is this mousse really fun to use with its squirty cream effect and nozzle, it\'s also really lightweight and didn\'t leave my hair greasy or limp with excess product. I applied this mousse to wet hair and styled as normal and felt my style had more weight to it, was defined and less frizzy at the roots. Perfect for everyday use.\"

\"I fell in love with the colour care shampoo and conditioner of this range and so eagerly volunteered to test this lightweight mousse. This isn\'t a normal dispense into your hand mousse, instead you spray it from roots to tips and then style as normal. My short bob got amazing volume at the roots and seemed fuller and bouncier than usual. Plus, the blow-dry held all day without dropping.\"

\"In the changeable weather and with a choppy cut my hair often falls victim to static, which is never a good look. However, one application of this Label M mousse seemed to coat each strand of hair giving my style hold and volume without feeling sticky. Plus, I avoided the dreaded flyaway static locks look that so often hampers my style. A great stronghold mousse for fine hair.\"
