Ask Belle: Pumping Up the Volume

Nov 25, 2013

Hi Belle,

You wrote a post once about using mousse, and I’m trying to find it.  I just had a baby and the awesome hair I had during the pregnancy went away with the hormones.  Can you also remind me what brand you use?

New Mommy with Flat Hair

Congratulations on the new addition!

The post about using mousse can be found here.  As for which brand I use, my fine hair responds best to Pantene Triple Action Maximum Volume Mousse ($5).  However, it can make your hair a bit dry, so remember to condition regularly.

Aside from the Pantene, the only other brand I would ardently recommend is John Frieda’s Luxurious Volume Building Mousse ($7).  It’s designed for fine hair, and I really like it, but I’m very brand loyal.

As for expensive mousses, I’ve tried many varieties, but I always head back to the drugstore.  I don’t notice much, if any, difference between the pricey salon brands and the mousse you can buy at Wal-Mart.

    I suffer from the same flat hair syndrome. I tried Aquage Uplifting Foam after my hairstylist recommended it. AMAZING! It provides great volume and texture. Kate from The Small Things Blog has a video on how she uses it which was very helpful.

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.
