Hair mousse

Hair mousse originated in France and was brought to the North American retail market by L'Oreal in the 1980s.

[4][5] By the mid-1980s, the big hair style trend and the usage of mousse and other volumizing products increased in popularity.

It is believed that the year 1987 marked the decline of "mousse mania", as the popularity of having big hair decreased and people began to grow concerned about using more environmentally friendly products.

[4] A polymer or resin is the most effective and important component of hair mousse, which acts as a conditioning agent.

In order for this to be successful, the polymer chosen must be nonionic in nature and should be compatible with the cationic resin.
