So I have a little something to confess. Still, to this day, I have no idea what mousse is or what purpose it holds. When I think of mousse, I think of those super crunchy curls from the 2000′s that look like they’re still wet even though they’re dry. Do you know what I’m talking about? I hope so. Now, as a wannabe beauty blogger, I’m smart enough to know that mousse can be used for a lot more things than just that but I’ve never really experimented a whole lot with it before.
But 2019 is the year of trying new things so I’m starting the new year off by trying a couple of different mousses from Schwarzkopf! As the mousse newbie I am, I was previously unaware that there could be differences between mousses. Mousse ain’t a “one size fits all” kind of thang. It’s kind of like hairspray. You know how hairspray has all the different levels of hold? Well, so does mousse. And the Schwarzkopf Osis+ mousses has four different hold levels (but I’m only trying out three, don’t ask me where the fourth one is)!
The level one Topped Up mousse from Schwarzkopf is my personal favorite. It has the lightest control and is described as a gentle hold mousse. It gives the perfect amount (for me) of light volume with a healthy shine and it helps to protect against any heat damage! I also didn’t know that it was possible for a mousse to be in any other container than your standard aerosol can but you learn something new everyday! I love this mousse a lot because it doesn’t feel like I have any product in my hair yet it holds my curls so much longer than usual and it gives my hair a bouncy, touchable volume!
The level two Fab Foam mousse is more of a classic hold mousse with medium control. It’s not anything crazy but it does it’s job very well. Similar to the Topped Up mousse, it also gives lots of shine to the hair and protects against blow-dry damage. The only difference is that it gives a little more volume! The level four Grip mousse is your extreme hold mousse. This one is suited for when you want your hairstyle to stay in place for 48 hours. It’s crazy. It is ultra strong and gives so much volume! It’s such a flufffy, dense foam compared to the other two mousse’s so you know this one is really going to do it’s job!
