Results

After blow-drying, fine hair has more body at the roots and through the lengths, with a soft, flexible hold and no sticky feel when the dose is right. Too much product can make fine hair heavy. The final result also depends on the condition of the hair, on the drying technique and on the finishing products.

How to use Volume Up Mousse

1. Shake the can well before use.
2. Dispense a walnut-sized amount into the palm.
3. Distribute evenly on damp hair, from the roots through the lengths.
4. Blow-dry with a round brush for more volume, then style as usual.
5. For a more defined, structured look, apply a small amount to dry hair and shape it. Avoid excess to keep the result light.
