Powder Estel
Manufacturers do not get tired of delighting fashionistas with new products, the number of which has been growing rapidly in recent years, so you can lose sight of really useful products. We will talk about one of these new products, namely Estel powder, in our article.
What is hair powder
It should start with the fact that such powders are for different purposes. There are powders designed to lighten the color, and there are those that are used during styling and do not change the color of the curls. And about those, and about others we will tell in more detail below.
For volume
Such powders look like talc or baby powder, but differ in composition. As a rule, it includes a complex of natural oils, water, antioxidants, viscose and others. Not to be confused with the popular dry shampoo of our time. These are radically different products, although they are similar in appearance.
Most girls dream of maximum volume, owners of fine hair especially suffer.
To add volume, we are accustomed to various styling products such as varnish, foams, gels and mousses. For basal volume, girls do styling using round combs - brushes, thermal brushes and curling irons. The tool we are talking about acts as replacing styling products, and sometimes all third-party devices with which we are used to adding volume to our hair.
For the greatest effect, owners of thin hair are recommended to do styling with a thermal brush or a brush with a hairdryer, as you are used to doing. Do not apply any styling products to your hair either before or after styling.
After you have laid the curls, divide each strand into strands and sprinkle with powder. Manufacturers advise applying the product directly to the hair, as this can significantly save the product. But we advise you to try to put it on your hands first. Judging by the reviews, this option is more suitable for some girls. Usually the product is applied to the area of the crown, back of the head and forehead for those who wear bangs. After powdering, lightly ruffle the root zone with your fingertips.
For clarification
If powders for volume are more suitable for owners of thin hair, then powders for lightening, on the contrary, are contraindicated for such hair. Since this tool was created to bleach the curl, in addition to caring components, it contains alkaline substances, sulfates, and sometimes hydrogen peroxide. Such a composition aggressively affects the structure of the curl, which can significantly damage thin hair.
All powders for clarification are mixed with oxidizing agents. There are 3, 6, 9 and 12 percent oxidizers. The percentage is selected based on the desired result and the color of your hair before dyeing. Detailed proportions vary depending on the brands and manufacturers of powders and oxidizers, so you should follow the instructions on the package. Pro tip: Mix products from only one brand.
As with normal dyeing, cover your shoulders with a fabric (which you don't mind) so as not to stain your clothes.Arm yourself with gloves, a plastic bowl in which you will mix the ingredients and a brush. Lubricate the skin near the hair roots with a greasy cream to avoid staining it. If you do not understand coloring, it is better to entrust this matter to a professional in order not to spoil the hairstyle.
