You use straightening mousse if you want your hair to stay straight all day. This mousse works by weighing down the hair follicles, and locking out moisture from sweat, rain and humidity to prevent curl or frizz from creeping in. If you're going to be flat ironing hair, prep beforehand with a good straightening mousse. If you have naturally straight hair that's prone to frizz in humidity, slather on a bit of this before you blow dry to see how it does.
