Moda stylist tipShake well, dispense a golf-ball-sized amount, work through damp hair — roots for lift, lengths for hold. Blow-dry for maximum volume and structure, or air-dry for a natural result. As an updo base, apply and blow-dry first to build grip, then style. For firmer structure than the softer Pure Volume Mousse, reach for this one.

Questions? We get them.
Good to know.
The questions we hear most about this product. If yours isn’t here, a real stylist will answer.
Ask ModaHow is this different from the Pure Volume Mousse?
They serve different goals. The Styling Mousse has a firmer 4/5 hold with more structure — it's built for hold and versatility (updo bases, heat-styling foundation, curl hold), and it holds a style through the day. The Pure Volume Mousse is softer, giving more volume and less structure, for airy, natural fullness in fine hair. Choose the Styling Mousse when you want structured hold and staying power; choose the Pure Volume Mousse when you want soft, natural body without much hold. Both are tack-free and 100% vegan.
Will it make my hair stiff, sticky, or crunchy?
No — this is one of the most-praised things about it. Despite giving a firm 4/5 hold, it's tack-free, so it leaves no stickiness or residue and brushes out easily. Reviewers with fine hair specifically love that it holds all day without building up or weighing hair down. You get structure and staying power while the hair stays healthy-looking, shiny, and touchable rather than crispy.
Can I use it before straightening or curling?
Yes — it's designed to be versatile, and using it as a foundation before heat styling is one of its main uses. Apply it to damp hair and blow-dry, then straighten or curl as usual: the mousse gives the hair structure and grip so your heat style holds longer. It's also a great base under an updo for the same reason, and it adds hold to naturally curly hair. Just remember to use a heat protectant (like the Shaping or Cream Heat Spray) alongside it before applying direct heat.
Is it good for fine hair?
Yes — it's a favourite for fine hair. Reviewers with lots of fine hair praise how it adds volume and hold without weighing the hair down, which is exactly the balance fine hair needs. The tack-free formula means no heavy residue, and the structure it gives helps fine hair hold a style that would otherwise fall flat. Use a golf-ball-sized amount and build if needed.
Is Maria Nila vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes — 100% vegan and cruelty-free, certified by PETA, Leaping Bunny, and The Vegan Society. Maria Nila is a Swedish brand and a Certified B Corporation, developing and manufacturing in Sweden with sulphate- and paraben-free formulas and CO2-compensated packaging.
