The Buzz

2010 Allure Breakthrough Award (October 2010)

Allure Magazine selected Full Thickening Mousse for their 2010 Breakthrough Award for innovation in beauty: "Living Proof scientists ignored the traditional target (roots) and instead created a flexible polymer that adds volume through the length of the hair and stays effective—through mussing and fussing—until the next shampoo."

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it color safe?

All of our styling products are color-safe.

Is it safe for use on chemically treated and chemically straightened hair?

All of our stylers are safe for chemically treated and chemically straightened hair.

What makes Full Thickening Mousse different?

To address the problem of fine, flat, limp hair, Living Proof created a brand new molecule, Poly Beta Amino Ester-1, featured in Full Thickening Cream, that is flexible and resilient, giving hair substance and motion without relying on the hard, brittle and breakable polymers currently available. Poly Beta Amino Ester-1 mimics the look and feel of naturally thick hair by depositing a completely flexible and indestructible pattern of thickening points that can’t break or flake off.

What is the difference between Full Thickening Mousse & Full Thickening Cream?

Both Full products contain the same breakthrough thickening technology that makes flat, limp hair look, feel and behave like thick hair. The differences are few: the Cream has lightweight conditioning and no hold, whereas the Mousse has no conditioning and light hold.

How do I use Full Thickening Mousse with other products?

Full Thickening Mousse can be combined with any of your usual products, including shampoos, conditioners, leave-ins and other styling products. However, we do recommend using it with Full Shampoo and Conditioner for the best all around voluminous style. When combining Full Thickening Mousse with other styling products, be aware that your result will differ depending on which product you use first, so you may want to try it different ways and choose your preferred routine.

Do I have to style with a blow dryer?

Applying Full Thickening Mousse to clean hair and blowing it dry will maximize your volume. Air drying will give you texture and definition, but not as much volume and height as heat styling will allow.

Does Full Thickening Mousse protect from heat styling?

We have done extensive testing with Full Thickening Mousse and heat styling and have found it to work extremely well with heat tools like blow dryers.

What is the fragrance?

All of our products have a light, fresh, citrusy fragrance.

Already addicted...

I have very fine hair, and have always been on a search for products that give my hair some body. The Living Proof Thickening Mousse was perfect, and made a noticable difference even after just one use. As an added bonus, it smells amazing :). Someone at the gym even asked what "perfume" I was wearing!

PLEASE save your money!

I wanted to believe this would work SO badly. My brother attended M.I.T. and I know the claims behind this product are based on scientists supposedly from M.I.T.

I have shoulder length hair, fine but not thin. It is all one length. I have used this product for blowng my hair out and also air-drying.

Sadly, it just didn't do a thing. I was VERY disappointed, especially since I spent money I really didn't have hoping it would work.

The scent is also overpoweringly strong - almost makes your eyes water. I would just get a volumizer from your local drugstore and save yourself the ridiculously jacked up price of this worthless product.

Feels great.
