A little knowledge about hair:
Hair grows from hair follicles, which are embedded below the skin on your scalp. The root of the hair is the part that comes through the scalp. Anything that comes after the root of the hair are the hair strands. The bottom of the root in the hair follicle is known as the hair bulb. The bulb is where nutrients get absorbed and form new hair. As hair is pushed up through the hair follicle and towards the surface of your scalp, it is known as keratinization. Keratin is rich in sulfur protein. Most of your hair is made of proteins (amino acids). Amino acids are made up of theses elements; Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Sulfur also known as side bonds.These elements help link the amino acids together and …show more content…
When the nozzle is pressed down the pressure allows for the propellant chemicals such as Propane and Dimethlyl Ether to force out the product. In a can of hair mousse contains many gas particles that are in a small area which makes the pressure force larger and easier for the mousse to come out. Since we know that hair mousse is not only gases the other 5% of liquid are known as liquified gases. These liquified gases are gases that turn to liquid when highly compressed. Other foaming agents like Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate Cocamidopropyl Bentaine and Trimethicone are added to create the foaming texture. After the product has been dispersed into the air the gases in the mousse are released and the foam turns into liquid which explains why when mousse is applied to the hair it does not stay in it’s foamy state.
History of Hair Mousse
Hair mousse is a aerosol product and aerosol technology first was introduced during World War 2 when they needed to spray insecticide to get rid of malaria mosquitos. Hair mousse started in France and was then brought to North America in the 1980s by L’Oreal. “Mousse” came from a french word meaning foam. The 1980s was a era for “big hair” which is why Mousse was quite popular. Mousse provided volume to the hair which can create the “big hair” look.
