Hair powder
The modern beauty industry is overflowing with a variety of hair products. And it seems that it is impossible to come up with something new. In fact, every year there are more advanced new products, one of which is hair powder. Every girl needs to taste this remedy.
What it is
Modeling hair powder is a special powder that looks like dry shampoo or talcum powder. A similar tool is applied exclusively to dried curls in order to get an incredible basal volume or complete styling.
The styling powder has a special formula, thanks to which the hair does not stick together and does not weigh down.
Active microparticles absorb excess moisture and fat from the surface of the strands, as a result of which the oily sheen disappears. In addition, the swollen particles adhere to each other, forming a strong "framework" between the hair shafts, due to which the curls rise, and the styling lasts throughout the day. That is why combing your hair after applying the powder to your head is not recommended.
In addition to the usual powder, there is a color one, with the help of which individual strands and hair as a whole are easily colored.A special camouflage powder was also created, designed to mask bald patches in men and women.
