What Happens To Your Hair When You Use Too Much Mousse?

1. Weighed-down hair

The purpose of mousse is to add volume and texture to the hair, but excessive application can cause the hair to feel heavy and burdened down.

2. Sticky or crunchy texture

Mousse contains polymers that hold hair in position. These polymers can accumulate and leave your hair feeling sticky or brittle if you use too much mousse.

3. Difficulty styling

The application of an excessive quantity of mousse can make it difficult to style your hair. The excess product can make your hair more difficult to manipulate.

4. Dryness and frizz

Some mousses contain alcohol, which has a drying influence on the hair and can cause dryness and frizz.

5. Product buildup

Excessive mousse use can result in product accumulation on the hair and scalp. This can cause your hair to appear drab and lifeless.

TIPS

To avoid these issues, mousse should be applied sparingly and according to the product label's instructions.

TIPS

Apply a small amount of mousse to damp hair and distribute it uniformly, concentrating on the roots for added volume.

TIPS

Add more gradually if necessary, but observe how your hair reacts to avoid overapplication.
