Wella Professionals EIMI Extra Volume Strong Hold Heat Protection Styling Mousse (75ml)

What it is and what it’s for

Wella Professionals EIMI Extra Volume Strong Hold Heat Protection Styling Mousse is a volumising hair mousse made for people who want more body and a firmer finish, without going down the “heavy product” route. Based on the name alone it’s designed to support extra volume and thickness-looking styling, while also offering heat protection for when you use heat tools.

On paper, this kind of mousse sits in the sweet spot for day-to-day styling: you apply it, scrunch or lift at the roots, then blow-dry or style as usual. It’s also described as delivering a strong hold, so it’s aimed at taming the kind of hair that can fall flat as soon as you leave the bathroom.

The essentials: volume, strong hold, and heat protection

This is positioned as a strong hold volumising mousse. That matters because many people buy mousse hoping for lift, only to find it turns out more “light feel” than “proper staying power”. Here, the brand focus is explicitly on strong hold, plus heat protection.

You can expect it to be the sort of styling step that helps your hairstyle keep its shape—especially if you like a blow-dry finish, root lift, or styles that need structure (like fuller blowouts or bouncy, lift-heavy looks). And because it’s heat-protecting, it’s a more convenient choice than using a separate heat spray every time—assuming your routine already involves heated styling.

Key takeaways for buying

It’s not perfect for every hair type and style goal, though. Mousse with strong hold can feel a bit more “set” than softer, flexible options—so if you’re after movement above all else, you may find it slightly too firm depending on how much you use.

Also, the product description doesn’t specify things like suitability for coloured or chemically treated hair, or whether it’s best for very fine hair versus thick, coarse hair. So it’s worth thinking about your starting point and how easily your hair gets weighed down.

What you’ll notice in everyday use

A realistic way to use this mousse is after towel-drying: pump a small amount into your hands, work it through the roots and the sections you want to lift, then blow-dry while directing airflow upwards. If you want more bounce, you can scrunch lightly during drying and let the shape settle as it cools.

Because it’s a volumising mousse with strong hold, the payoff tends to show up when you check your hair an hour or two later. If you regularly struggle with flat roots or hairstyles that deflate quickly, strong hold is the point. If your hair is already naturally bouncy, you might need very little to avoid over-setting.

Where it shines (and where it may not)

It makes sense if you want extra volume and body, and you use heat tools often enough to value heat protection in the styling step.

Worth considering if: - you want a mousse rather than a paste or cream, but still need the style to stay put - you frequently style with blow-drying or heat and prefer a product that addresses heat as part of the routine - you like fuller-looking hair that holds its shape through the day

It might not be a great match if: - you prioritise the softest, most flexible feel and hate any stiffness - your hair tends to build up or get weighed down easily (you may need to use less than you think) - you’re looking for something more lightweight for quick touch-ups rather than a real set

Final verdict

It’s a solid pick if you’re shopping specifically for a volumising mousse that’s meant to deliver a stronger, more dependable hold—and you also use heat styling enough that heat protection is genuinely useful in your routine.

You may want to skip it if you only need light lift, dislike firm hold products, or your hair is prone to feeling heavy from styling products. In those cases, a more flexible or lighter approach can make more sense.

Mini FAQ

Does this work as a heat protection styling product?

The product positioning includes heat protection alongside styling, so it’s intended to be part of a heated routine.

Is it suitable for all hair types?

The base description says the brand range is for all hair types, but it doesn’t provide detailed guidance for specific concerns, so your results may depend on your hair texture and how much you apply.

How much should I use for best results?

The entry doesn’t give a dosing guide. With strong hold mousse, it’s usually safer to start small and build up only where you need more volume.

Can I use it for styles that need lift at the roots?

That’s very much in line with the “extra volume and body” aim, particularly for blow-dry and root-lift styles.
