"Love Matrix products use Matrix miracle creator with Matrix Setter mousse for very manageable hair - Combs out leaving your hair soft" - Sharon

Why You’ll love it

Set your style once, enjoy soft movement all day.

Helps curls, waves, and blow-dries keep their shape longer.

Gives light, touchable hold without sticky or crunchy residue.

Adds gentle volume and control for smoother, neater-looking hair.

Description

Matrix Setter Mousse is a lightweight styling foam that locks in shape with flexible hold.

This airy mousse glides through damp hair, coating each strand with fine, even support so styles stay put without feeling stiff. As you work it in, the texture feels smooth and silky, then dries to a soft-touch, satin finish with natural movement.

It’s ideal for blow-drying, rollers, or setting waves and curls that need staying power. Use it before styling when you want longer-lasting shape, extra body at the roots, or frizz control.

Hair feels lifted, easier to manage, and pleasantly light rather than weighed down or crunchy. The subtle salon-style scent adds a clean, fresh note every time you style.

Directions

How To Use Matrix Setter Mousse

Shake well before use.
Apply to clean, towel-dried hair.
Dispense a small to medium-sized ball of mousse into your palm.
Distribute evenly from roots to ends using fingers or a comb.
Blow-dry with a brush or set on rollers for added hold.
Allow hair to dry fully before brushing out or finishing style.

Water (Aqua) Solvents

Solvent

Water acts as the main solvent that dissolves and distributes other ingredients in a formula.

May suit
Anyone using liquid haircare products, as water is a core component.

Worth knowing
It helps create a workable texture and allows surfactants, conditioners and other actives to perform effectively.
Polyquaternium-4 Conditioning agents

Film-forming conditioner

A conditioning polymer that forms a light film on the hair to enhance smoothness, shine and manageability.

May suit
People looking for improved slip, reduced frizz or better hold in styling products.

Worth knowing
It is often used in styling formulas because it helps provide flexible hold and humidity resistance. It rinses out easily and is compatible with many other haircare ingredients.
VP/VA Copolymer Thickeners and stabilisers

Film-forming styling polymer

A film-forming polymer that helps provide hold, texture and style retention.

May suit
People looking for longer-lasting hold or improved definition in styling products.

Worth knowing
It is widely used in gels, mousses and sprays because it creates flexible, brushable hold. It can also help reduce frizz by forming a lightweight coating on the hair.
PVP Thickeners and stabilisers

Film-forming polymer

PVP is a film-forming ingredient that helps provide hold and structure in styling products.

May suit
Anyone looking for longer-lasting hold, enhanced definition or improved style memory.

Worth knowing
It is widely used in gels, mousses and sprays because it creates a flexible film on the hair shaft. Its performance can vary with humidity, so it is often blended with other polymers for stability.
Alcohol Denat. Solvents

Solvent

A fast-evaporating solvent that helps dissolve ingredients and improve product dry time.

May suit
People who use styling products that benefit from quick drying or a lightweight feel.

Worth knowing
