Is your hair limp and fine? Are you frustrated that it does not hold its shape? Would you like to plump up the volume a little bit and expand its styling possibilities? First off, don’t despair. There are a lot of naturally fine haired women who are facing this dilemma on a regular basis.

When to Use It?

A lot of hairstylists have referred to volumising powder as the “magical powder” due to its ability to transform hair from an unmanageable mess into a canvass for easy to intricate hairstyles. Indeed, it is the weapon of choice for celebrity hairdressers who style models’ hair for the runway and other such events.

Thus, volumising powder must be used when hair lacks grip or is too limb. Both hair situations can make it troublesome to do braids or curls on hair because it neither stays in place and makes it easy to maneuver. Another instance wherein this powder might prove useful is when you’re trying to skip shampoo and the strands are too oily. A dab of this powder should freshen your locks up as if you just got off the shower.

Benefits

It adds volume. As the name implies, a volumising powder is used mainly to boost volume of hair. Aside from volume, it also makes hair more bouncy and maintain fullness to achieve hairstyles you won’t be able to with super fine hair. With a little help from blow drying and teasing, you can go a long way.

It maintains hold. If you want your hairstyle to maintain its hold for as long as possible, the use of volumising powder can also do the trick. Use this alongside other hair accessories such as clips and bobby pins to maintain hairstyle for hours.

It keeps hair fresh. As noted above, applying a small amount of volumising powder on unwashed hair can fight greasiness and keep it looking fresh.

It gives hair more structure. If you want more definition to your hairstyle, using volumising powder can provide that shape your natural hair texture lacks. This is the perfect styling aid for when doing updos and bobs.

It provides a matte finish to hair. For undone looks, you can give it a matte finish and polished look. This particular trick works for men and women alike.

How to Apply

Here is a quick step-by-step guide on how to apply a volumising powder:

1. Dry your hair first. It is recommended that you use this product on dry hair only.

2. Apply the powder near the roots or ends. A small amount should be enough. Use your fingers to ensure that the powder is evenly distributed.

3. You do not have to worry about brushing the powder from your hair as it can be easily washed off on your next shampoo and does not leave any residues.
