Hair Mousse NZ | Volume, Curl & Toning Foam | Zilion NZ
Shop Hair Mousse Online in NZ
Mousse has come a long way from the crunchy foams of the past. Today's formulas are light, flexible and often conditioning, giving fine hair lasting body, helping curls form defined, bouncy ringlets and making blow-dries hold their shape for longer. Some mousses go further still, depositing colour or toning brassy blondes while you style.
Zilion is an official NZ stockist of every brand in this collection, and there are more than 120 mousses and foams to choose from. Brands include Milk Shake, Wella Professionals, REF Stockholm Sweden, DesignMe, Echosline, Paul Mitchell, Alfaparf Milano, Fanola, Schwarzkopf Professional, Natural Look, Joico, Redken, Kevin Murphy and Davines.
About Hair Mousse
Mousse is a styling foam, usually dispensed from an aerosol, that spreads evenly through damp hair without weighing it down. As it dries, light polymers coat each strand, adding grip and lift at the root and memory through the lengths. Because it is airy, mousse is one of the few styling products that suits fine and thin hair as well as thick hair.
The collection covers more than classic volume. Curl mousses add moisture and hold to waves and coils. Whipped creams and moisture foams condition as they style. Toning foams such as Fanola No Yellow Incredible Foam, Natural Look Ice Blonde Toning Mousse and Nak Hair Blonde Plus 10V Toning Foam neutralise yellow tones, while Milk Shake Coloured Whipped Cream adds direct colour in shades from Intense Grey and Light Pink to Cold Brunette and Copper.

Benefits of Hair Mousse
- Volume that lasts. Mousse lifts at the root and helps blow-dries hold their shape.
- Light on fine hair. The airy texture adds body without the weight of creams or oils.
- Defined curls. Curl mousses help waves and curls clump together with less frizz.
- Even coverage. Foam spreads easily from roots to ends.
- Conditioning. Whipped creams and moisture foams soften and detangle as they style.
- Tone and colour. Toning and colour foams refresh blondes, greys and fashion shades between salon visits.
Hair Mousse Buying Guide
Fine or flat hair. Choose a volumising or root-lift mousse and focus it at the roots.
Curly or wavy hair. Choose a curl mousse, apply to soaking-wet hair and scrunch. Air dry or diffuse.
Dry or coarse hair. A conditioning whipped cream or moisture foam adds softness with light hold.
Hold level. Light and flexible mousses suit soft, natural styles. Strong and extra-hold mousses suit updos, sets and humid days.
Blonde, grey or coloured hair. Toning foams counter yellow, and Milk Shake Coloured Whipped Cream adds or refreshes colour. Always test on a small section first.
Size. Travel and mini sizes include DesignMe Bounce Me 85ml, DesignMe Puff Me 60ml, REF Mousse Mini 75ml, Milk Shake Whipped Cream Minis 50ml and HH Simonsen Volume Mousse Travel 100ml.
How to Use Hair Mousse
Shake the can well and hold it upside down. Dispense a golf ball-sized amount for short hair, or an egg-sized amount for shoulder-length or longer hair. Towel dry your hair so it is damp, not dripping, then work the mousse through from the roots to the ends with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb. For volume, lift the roots with a round brush while blow-drying. For curls, apply to wetter hair, scrunch upward and diffuse or air dry without touching. Colour and toning foams should be applied evenly with gloves.

Hair Mousse FAQs
What is hair mousse?
Hair mousse is a light styling foam applied to damp hair. It adds volume, hold and definition without weighing hair down.
What is the difference between mousse and foam?
The terms are used interchangeably. Some brands use foam for lighter formulas and mousse for those with more hold.
Does mousse make hair crunchy?
Modern mousses are much softer than older formulas. Using too much can still leave hair stiff, so start small. Scrunching out dry curls removes any cast.

Yes. Mousse is one of the best products for fine hair because it adds body without weight. Focus it at the roots.
Is mousse good for curly hair?
Yes. Curl mousses add hold and definition and reduce frizz. Apply to very wet hair and scrunch.
