"Hi, and welcome back. Today we're going to show you how to style your hair with mousse. Now in most cases, mousse works better on wet hair. But I'm going to show you an awesome style that you can do at home using mousse on dry hair. Why do we use it on dry hair? Lets say you're going to a party, and you want a funky new hairstyle, if your hair is all wet, and you style it with mousse, it may take a very long time to dry. So I'm going to show you a funky little style using mousse. First you spray the mousse on, or you pump it. This looks like a liquid, but it's really a mousse. Look at that, very light weight, you just rub it in the hands. And what I'm going to do is, I'm going to create some braids. So I'm sliding the mousse through the hair, like so. And I'm not making the hair too wet. Because after I braid up her hair, she's going to take a shower, put her clothes on, get her makeup on, and right before she leaves, she's going to take her braids out. She's going to have a funky, wavy style, with mousse, that will not look bad, it will look wonderful. So, for all of you at home, this is a great style to try. It's a great style to use on your kids, when you don't have time, or if you want to do something new, try a little mousse on dry hair. Now, if you prefer to use mousse on wet hair, it's great for scrunching, and it's great from creating a whole bunch of wet styles that make you look fabulous. Now, her hair has been moussed, we did a braid. And this is something that you would follow throughout the hair. Again, you grab a little bit of mousse, and you rub it in your hands, and you just pull it through the ends, and you begin your braid. You follow around, and you continue until you no longer have any hair. Remember, go take a shower, have something to eat, get dressed, put your makeup on, and before you go, take out your braid. You'll have a beautiful wavy hairstyle done with mousse. My name is Sylvia, I know you want beautiful healthy hair, use mousse and add waves. Have a good day."
