To use DevaCurl mousse, typically referred to as DevaCurl SuperMousse, you apply it to wet or damp hair to help define curls and add hold.
Application Steps
Applying mousse is a key step in many curly hair routines. While specific techniques can vary, a common method involves applying the product evenly throughout your hair.
Here’s a general approach:
- Start with Wet Hair: Mousse is most effective when applied to hair that is soaking wet or at least very damp. This helps distribute the product evenly and encourages curl formation.
- Dispense Product: Shake the can well and dispense a palmful of mousse. The amount needed depends on your hair's thickness and length.
- Distribute Evenly: Gently rake or prayer-hand the mousse through sections of your hair, ensuring coverage from roots to ends.
- Scrunch: Flip your head over and scrunch the mousse into your curls. This action helps activate your curl pattern and remove excess water. Continue scrunching until you feel the mousse has been worked thoroughly into your hair.
Drying Your Hair
After applying DevaCurl SuperMousse, you can dry your hair using various methods. According to the referenced tutorial video titled "Curly Girl Tutorial with DevaCurl Super Mousse," air drying is presented as a valid option.
Common drying methods include:
- Air Drying: Allow your hair to dry naturally. As highlighted in the referenced tutorial ("I don't believe you cannot air dry"), air drying is a feasible method after using the mousse.
- Diffusing: Use a hair dryer with a diffuser attachment on a low heat and speed setting. This helps speed up drying while preserving curl definition and volume.
- Micro-plopping: Use a microfiber towel or cotton t-shirt to gently scrunch out excess water before air drying or diffusing.
Using DevaCurl mousse helps enhance curl definition, provide hold, and reduce frizz, allowing your curls to dry beautifully whether you choose to air dry or diffuse.
