Paul MitchellExtra-Body Sculpting Foam, Thickens + Builds Body, For Fine Hair

I have fine, thinning hair.This packs a lot of volume is a small dollop but keeps my hair soft. and looking natural and thicker. I can go all day without restyling and look great.I dry with a round brush for volume and tease it a bit at the top for a fuller look. They I give it a good shot of hairspray and can make it through the workday without retouching.The scent is not pleasant but not at all overpowering.The sprayer is effective.

Great and perfect for my hair

Not sure why the directions don't say to use on dry hair only? On wet hair, it doesn't do anything other than make your hair sticky and flat. On dry hair it makes a big difference. It adds volume and staying power.

The thing I like most about this product is that it makes my hair look thicker. My hair is thinning, and I have tried several products, but I like this one so far the best. Since my hair is thin, the foam does not make my hair stiff, and it helps my hair hold the curl. I can brush through it throughout the day, and the curl remains.It is watery when it first comes out, but it quickly turns into a form. A little bit produces a lot of volume so don't let the watery appearance fool you.I like this and will likely purchase it again, even though it is a bit more expensive. It is working better than what I used before.

My hair is thin, fine and very soft. It is also very straight and does not keep its shape after styling. This foam gives my hair body and makes it look thicker. I use it before setting my hair with hot curlers. This product along with hairspray keeps the curls in my hair. Hairspray alone doesn't work and this Paul Mitchell sculpting foam works far better than others I have tried. I recommended it. F.Y.I. it is not a firm foam and sometimes comes out very watery. I like it anyway, because it works.

Once you can get the product out of the can, it works great on my hair. I had a major issue with getting the cover off and how delicate the little nozzle is. It kept getting stuck in the snap-on cover. Many times I thought the nozzle was going to break off because it was so thin, dainty and fragile.

A good quality mousse, control with no stickiness

I usually love Paul Mitchell hair products and have tried to convince myself this mousse performs well over the past months. However, it does not work for me.Pros: the nozzle is intact and working. The mousse comes out in a liquid state but actually does foam if you hold it in your hand for a moment before application- strange but true.Cons: Mousse does not really give my straight fine hair any more lift than does simply drying with a large round brush. And it doesn't hold that lift any better than blow drying. There is no increase in volume or thickness. Instead, this mousse has stripped my hair of any softness, causing it to feel crispy, stiff, and somehow thinner and unnatural. Oddly, my scalp begins to itch in an hour or so after use. Also, my hair is suddenly dry and snaps and breaks more easily when I try to brush it. Yet my scalp feels oily. I am convinced that this is not a good product for my hair health. Hate that I bought 2 cans but will not use again. I will look for a better product.Edit: 2/13/2025Broke down and used 1 can. Never happy with the sticky stuff. Opened 2nd can today and plastic nozzle slightly lifts off so that you can see the aerosol can and tiny outlet beneath it. No product comes out of plastic nozzle at all, despite vigorous shaking. Just a fine drizzle of sticky liquid oozed from actual can after holding upside down a few moments. What a huge rip-off! Seller has to know. This was 2nd shrink wrapped bottle, never opened. Horrible product.
