Lack of volume is still the number one complaint I hear in the salon.
I am one of those complainers, ha!
I wanted to share a few products today that give major volume- but aren't as commonly used as products like dry shampoo or mousse to achieve volume.
Lifting Powders are a super fine powder that thickens the hair at the root by bonding to the hairs. They tend to have a slightly tacky feeling when touched, and they don't make heir feel cleaner like dry shampoos do, but they work so well for their actual purpose... lifting!
I love to use them on day 2 or 3 hair when my roots really need a boost. You simple shake the fine powder into the roots (you can't always see or feel that it's going on because its such a fine powder it's almost invisible and weightless), then massage through and finally brush out. If you are wondering what they are made of, it's mostly ingredients that absorb and thicken- think starch and silica.
Here are a few of my favs and where you can purchase them:
- Kevin Murphy Powder Puff (salon Locator) Local to Salt Lake: Moore Hair Design
- Not Your Mother's Girl Powder
- Bumble & Bumble Pret a Powder
- Umberto Beverly Hills Lifting Powder
Have you tried these magic powders before? Let me know in the comments below, xo
