My hair is really dense and requires a lot to get a cast and good hold. I personally like big volume, so I am happier with the mousse results here as mousse gives me slightly better volume, particularly in the roots. I think that slight increase in root volume helps my hair to have a smoother overall shape.
Where with gel, I get slightly less root volume, so the top is a bit flat and then the waves start more out of the blue and feel a bit…lumpy? I was content with my results from the gel, too though. Gel makes my hair stiffer and it remains a bit shinier than it does with mousse. I think mousse looks less rigid it is less rigid and looks slightly more natural than gel did.
I get thicker clumps with gel, but I am not bothered by the skinnier clumps that mousse gives. However, I do sometimes see where people with wavy hair say that mousse makes their hair look stringy.
I think this makes my hair less likely to get stringy than people with fine hair or low-density hair. Some people use both mousse and gel on wavy hair. Some people use mousse at their roots for root volume, and gel on their strands. Some people use gel on wash day but use mousse to refresh. Some people layer mousse and gel. Gel and mousse are about equally popular among those with wavy hair. Mousse can provide a strong hold. Some types of mousse offer as much hold as strong-hold gels.
Both mousse and gel can vary in how strong of a hold they have. Some barely hold my hair on day one, others lost all definition by day 2, and some gave me 3 days of hair that I felt comfortable wearing. Some types of mousse can give hair results that last as long as gel. It can depend on your hair type and the type of mousse. How much hold a mousse has varies from one type to another. How long your style lasts will depend on the natural strength of your pattern as well as the products you use.
Most people with wavy hair do seem to need support from products, though. I am someone who needs a product with hold to maintain my shape. I believe I get better-lasting results from the gel if I use it on wet hair, but that gives me less volume than damp styling does. I showed both sides here because my left side Which is my straighter side falls straight a lot faster, usually. It may vary some depending on the mousse and the gel in question, but in general, mousse and gel seem to dry in roughly the same amount of time.
I used to think that mousse dried faster than gel. When recently doing gel I timed how long it took to diffuse. Hair mousse is suitable for both men and women with long or short hair while hair gel is more suitable for short hair. Difference Between Mousse and Gel. Difference Between Similar Terms and Objects.

The container dispenses a whipped-cream like dollop of mousse that is made to add body to hair and help it stay in place.
Hair gel , on the other hand, is often sold either in a squeezable plastic container or a plastic jar with a lid and is a jelly-like consistency that is made to hold hair firmly in the desired form.
Although hair mousse and hair gel share some of the same properties, they are also quite distinct and are often used to create very different types of hairstyles. Both hair mousse and hair gel work to make hair more manageable when styling it, but have very different effects if too much is used.
Too much mousse usually creates stiff, brittle hair that may flake, while too much hair gel often results in hair that is too wet-looking and sticky.
