Mousse can be used by both men and women and is especially suitable if you have thin hair or if you want a little more volume. Read on to learn the perfect technique for applying mousse to your hair.

Method 1 of 3: Quickly style men's hair

1. Wet your hair (or not!). Most men don't want to spend time styling their hair in a structured way. That does not matter! With this method you use mousse to bring your hair back to life quickly and easily. Wet your hair if you want, but you don't have to. In general, you can say that your hair will be shinier if you wet it first, but if you apply the mousse to dry hair, it will also work fine. If you choose wet hair, make sure to wet it all over the place - don't leave a few pieces dry. If you've really gotten your hair wet, dry it with a towel - ideally, it's "towel-dried," as if you just dried yourself after a shower.
