Advantages: Cheap and effective :)

Disadvantages: Not as strong as some of the newer brands ;(

Like a lot of people I use hair mousse to add extra body to my hair as it is long but can be a bit lifeless as I wash it everyday.

The best value mousse I have found is 'Boots essential' range which is only 99p for a 200ml can.

Purple in colour this is a tall thin container which has enough frothy mousse once shook up to last me several months.

The write up says to shake well and squirt a golf ball sized amount into your hand and then rub through your hair - simple really.

This product is designed to protect against heat damage which my hair is as I blow dry then straighten it every day, plus it is easer to change your style with this mousse as it added extra body and hold than normally my long fine hair wouldn't have...

Boots essentials sells several varieties of this hair care mousse but I opt for the 'extra firm hold for maximum hold and volume', which smells rather pleasant and looks like whipped cream once you squirt it out or the top of the plastic nozzle at the top of the metal can.

Be careful as this can is pressurised so avoid high heats or piercing the can please :)

The write up on the back also says its non sticky which is true although you do have to wash you hands thoroughly after using it because of the chemical mixture, plus that it doesn't not hold the hair down with any heaviness of texture.

Again this is true as it is very light and fluffy but really does give added lift!

The white foam starts to work almost straight away, slightly setting before you blow dry or leave your locks to dry naturally.

I think it really works and is very good value for money - it can often be found on offer at two for £1.50 so you can stock up, or on 3 for 2 on Boots essential range.

Boots do a bigger can which is 400ml for only 60p more which is great :)

Four stars from me for a good quality mousse which works when generously applied, I like it!

Summary: Good for the money! :)
