What is Hair Colour Mousse?

Published in Hair Coloring 2 mins read

Hair colour mousse is a temporary hair colouring product designed to enhance or change your hair colour, easily washing out with shampoo.

Essentially, hair colour mousse is a styling product that deposits colour onto the surface of the hair shaft. Unlike permanent or demi-permanent hair dyes, it doesn't penetrate the hair cortex, making it a low-commitment option.

Here's a breakdown of what you should know:

  • Temporary Colour: The primary characteristic is its temporary nature. The colour typically lasts for one wash, up to a few washes, depending on the specific product and your hair type.

  • Easy Application: It's designed for easy, at-home application. You simply apply the mousse to damp or dry hair, distribute it evenly, and style as usual.

  • Versatile Use: You can use it to:

    • Enhance your natural hair colour, adding vibrancy and shine.
    • Experiment with different shades without the commitment of permanent dye.
    • Cover up regrowth between salon visits (to a certain extent, and depending on the product's pigment).
    • Add highlights or lowlights for a temporary change.
  • Minimal Damage: Because the colour doesn't penetrate the hair shaft, hair colour mousse is generally considered less damaging than permanent or semi-permanent dyes.

  • Removes Easily: The colour is removed by simply shampooing your hair.

Example: The Indola Profession Colour Style Mousse is a popular option that provides temporary colour and styles the hair simultaneously.

Hair colour mousse provides a fantastic way to play with your hair colour without long-term commitment or the harsh chemicals found in permanent dyes. It’s perfect for special events, trying out new looks, or simply adding a bit of fun to your everyday style.
