Hair styling powders: types and tips for use

In the age of development of modern technologies, we are used to taking the best from life. When cosmetic novelties for personal care appear on the market, rarely any woman will deny herself the pleasure of trying them out. Take, for example, hair styling powder: this tool is in demand today among modern women of fashion. However, like any cosmetics, this tool has its own nuances and rules of application.

Hair powder is a powdery substance that is used to visually increase the volume of strands. This is a way to make fine hair look more attractive and voluminous. This powder is suitable for those whose hair is naturally thin and sparse. Due to the silicon included in the composition, the powder masks insufficient thickness, having thickening properties.

The main task of a cosmetic product is to fix unruly strands that are difficult to style. Cosmetic powder has a light texture, due to which it does not weigh hair down and does not stick it together. It is invisible on the curls, and therefore with its help you can create the most natural styling. At the same time, the powder neutralizes excess grease in the root zone.

Depending on the variety, the drug may have lightening properties. Therefore, it is used for highlighting and painting strands. Another feature of the product is its ability to maintain styling in cloudy and damp weather.

The modeling powder for hair has many advantages:

• convenient and easy to use;
• sold in convenient packaging;
• does not need preliminary dilution;
• does not require additional components;
• allows you to make a beautiful styling in a matter of minutes;
• suitable for any hairstyle and haircut;
• economical, and therefore it lasts for a long time;
• provides for styling adjustments during the day;
• suitable for any type of hair (both straight and wavy);
• styles hair better and faster than a hairdryer.

In addition to the advantages, hair powder has disadvantages:

• the powder must be dosed, otherwise the effect will be reduced to zero;
• the abundance of powder makes it difficult to comb the hair;
• the product cannot be used every day;
• with constant use of powder, hair can become dull;
• good cosmetics will cost from 700 rubles or more;
• powder is not easy to wash off hair.

Today, hair powder can be classified into three categories. It can be modeling, lightening and color. Each type has its own characteristics and nuances of application. Therefore, you need to buy a specific type of tool based on the tasks planned for it.

For example, if you want to add volume to the curls, you need to purchase a modeling version. Moreover, it must be applied to clean strands. This powder is good for brittle hair, it is used by professional stylists, it is also bought for home use. At the same time, the powder copes with the volume of both long and short hair, as well as curls of medium length.

If the purpose of the application is to lighten the curls, then you need to buy cosmetics with a discoloration effect. It is applied to dirty hair, and it lightens not only natural strands, but also previously dyed ones. The effect of the powder is strong, so a beautiful highlight is better in the salon. Home experiments can result in damage to the skin and overburning of hair. This powder, unlike other analogs of the line, is mixed with an oxidizing agent.

The colored variety is harmless to curls. It envelops them from above, and therefore does not destroy the structure. The disadvantage of this coloring is the fragility of the effect: the color is washed off the first time you wash your hair. However, the tool is well worth the money: thanks to it, you can create a creative painting in just a few minutes.

Among the rich range of hair styling cosmetics offers it is worth noting the products of several brands.

There are a variety of ways you can apply styling talcum powder to your hair. For example, stylists use a technique in which they pour some product directly on the fingers and rub the mass into the root zone, slightly ruffling the strands. The effect begins to manifest itself almost immediately: to obtain volume, just a few movements are enough. Moreover, it is necessary to distribute the powder exclusively with your fingers. In this case, the hair should already be combed.

Someone prefers to pour powder to create volume directly from the jar to the parting. Hair must be dry during application, otherwise it will hang like dirty icicles. This technique is dangerous in that you can pour the product, which will create a messy hairstyle.

You cannot distribute the product over the skin and the entire length of the strands: it is enough to do this in the root zone. In order to style your hair, one serving of the free-flowing product is enough. This rule applies to both long and short hair. You need to use a cosmetic product correctly: it is applied when the styling is almost ready, only ruffling the curls at the roots.

Thickness of thick hair may be the only exception when calculating the amount. In this case another serving may be needed to add volume. However, after the product has been applied, the curls are not combed or twisted, since this can cause them to hang again.
