Hair powder for volume and styling has risen in popularity in recent years, thanks to its amazing ability to add instant volume and thickness wherever you need it. It solves several styling problems at once. The light powder adds fullness to fine hair, makes limb hair more manageable, and refreshes hair between shampoos. Here’s how to take full advantage of volumizing hair powder to create fuller, more manageable, and more aesthetically-pleasing hairstyles.
Volumizing hair powder is a potent problem solver when hair is limp or does not have enough grip for updos, twirls, or braids. As a welcome side-effect hair powder also freshens up oily hair between washes. The ultra-light and fine powder is suitable for any hair type and length, and it helps with many hair problems.
The Benefits of Hair Powder
Here are some great ways that hair powder for styling makes your life a lot easier:
Volume: The main role of volumizing hair powder is to add fullness and bounce to thin or limp hair. Simply apply it where more volume is needed. The volumizing micro-particles fluff up hair for added volume, without the need for teasing and blow-drying. There is no faster way to turn limp, lifeless hair into a full head of impressively bouncy hair.
- Structure and Shape: Volumizing hair powder adds definition to your hairstyle. Hairstyles from bobs to updos look fuller and therefore also shapelier.
- Hold: Hairstyles hold their shapes better and longer thanks to the magical powers of volumizing hair powder. Hair accessories, slides, and pins also stay in place longer.
- Manageability: Your hair’s manageability determines how well you can create your desired hairstyles. Hair can be styled much more easily after using hair powder - users are able to create hairstyles that their hair would normally be too fine for, for example, chignon styles and bun styles.
- Freshness: Volumizing hair powder absorbs oil and therefore counteracts the bedraggled look of oily hair. Your hair will look fresher in seconds.
- Matte Finish: You may also like to use hair powder to create a matte finish for undone looks. The powder works well for the cool out-of-bed look for men and undone bobs for women.
How to Use Hair Powder
Once you’ve purchased your volumizing hair powder, it’s time to begin applying it. We recommend OSIS+ Dust It Mattifying Volume Powder, which is super easy to use and long lasting.
Hair powder is relatively simple to use, but remember that less is more - you can always sprinkle on more if you need to. Follow these steps for more voluminous hair in no time:
- Apply a small amount to the roots of dry hair and especially where you want the extra volume.
- If you have thin spots of hair, you can also add hair powder to these areas for more volume.
- Use your fingers to blend in the powder until it completely disappears.
- Add more if required.
- Style your hair and voilà, you’re done!
Volumizing hair powder is also easy to remove: Simply wash it out
Another thing that is great about hair powder is that you can reactivate it later on in the day without needing to apply more product - simply by massaging it slightly with your fingertips. Before you know it, the extra volume will be back.
