Wella Professionals EIMI Extra Volume Strong Hold Heat Protection Styling Mousse (300ml)

The essentials

If your hair falls flat or you want more lift without making styling feel like a chore, this Wella Professionals EIMI Extra Volume Strong Hold Heat Protection mousse is designed to bring extra volume and body while also offering heat protection as part of the styling process. It’s a strong-hold mousse rather than a light, airy foam, so it’s aimed at people who want the style to stay put once it’s set.

On paper, it sits in the “serious everyday styling” category: for blow-drying, shaping and building bulk at the roots, particularly when you’re dealing with hair that needs a bit more grip to hold its shape.

What it’s for (and what you’ll notice)

This is a volumising hair mousse from the EIMI range, meant for extra volume and body with a strong hold. The heat protection angle matters if you regularly use heated tools such as hair dryers or other heat styling methods, because it’s positioned as heat-protecting within your routine rather than as a separate step.

In real-world use, a common approach is to dispense the mousse into your palm (you’ll find the right amount varies by hair length and thickness), distribute through damp hair with a focus on the roots, then blow-dry for lift. For fine hair that gets weighed down easily, mousse like this is often the kind of product that helps you get noticeable shape without needing heavy styling creams.

That said, strong hold isn’t always forgiving: if you prefer a softer, more flexible finish, it may feel a touch “set” once it dries.

Key points

The main draw here is the combination: extra volume/body + strong hold + heat protection, all in one mousse format. That’s a useful blend if you’re trying to streamline your routine, or if you want your volume to last beyond the first hour.

It’s also part of a broader Wella Professionals EIMI styling lineup, which (from the range description) includes other hold styles and volume-focused products. If you’re already into building volume with heat, this mousse fits naturally as the foam step.

What to watch before you buy

A mousse with “strong hold” can be brilliant for structured blow-dries, but you’ll want to consider how your hair reacts to firm hold products. If your hair is prone to dryness, you may need to balance it with conditioner and avoid over-using mousse at the same spots every day.

Also, keep in mind that “for all hair types and textures” is the stated positioning, but results still depend on hair porosity and density. If you’ve struggled with mousses feeling sticky or crunchy in the past, you may want to start with a smaller amount and build up gradually.

Finally, while it includes heat protection in the styling promise, the product description doesn’t specify the level of protection, so it’s worth sticking to sensible heat settings and good habits rather than treating any product as a full replacement for careful heat control.

Who it suits best (and who should skip it)

It makes sense if you want extra volume and body with a strong-hold finish, especially if you’re using heat styling as part of your routine and you’d rather not add a separate heat protection product.

It may not be a great match if you only need light control, prefer very touchable, flexible movement, or you tend to find strong-hold mousses too firm for your liking.

It’s a solid pick if you like a style that stays shaped through the day. It can feel more like “structure” than “bounce”, which is exactly what some people want—and exactly what others don’t.

Quick overview: pros and limits

• Pros you’ll likely appreciate: volumising focus, strong hold for shape, heat protection positioned as part of the styling routine, mousse format that’s typically easy to apply.
• Limits to be aware of: strong hold can feel less flexible, heat protection details aren’t broken down in the provided info, so don’t assume it replaces best-practice heat care.

Is it worth it?

Worth buying if you regularly style with heat and want extra volume and body that holds its shape, and you like the idea of getting heat protection included within your mousse step. It suits people who want noticeable lift (roots, crown area, blow-dried shape) rather than a barely-there finish.

Skip it if you’re after a light, natural finish or you already know you dislike strong-hold mousses on your hair. Also, if you’re very heat-sensitive or already use a dedicated heat protection product you trust, you might prefer keeping that system separate rather than relying on the mousse alone.

Mini FAQ

How does the mousse help with volume?

It’s formulated as a volumising mousse with strong hold, so the idea is to lift and add body during styling, then keep the shape as it dries.

Is it suitable for all hair types?

The range description says it’s for all hair types and textures, covering everything from fine to thick and straight to coily. Exact results still depend on your hair and how you apply it.

Does it replace a heat protection spray?

It’s described as offering heat protection within the mousse styling process, but the provided details don’t spell out protection levels, so you should still use sensible heat settings.

Will strong hold feel crunchy?

It can, depending on how much you use and your hair type. If you’re worried, start with a smaller amount and focus on how your style feels as it dries.
