Soo, I haven't made an update for a while and that is because I've been superbusy and well... also because of a little lack of inspiration and confidence.. but I'm getting back on track! :>
So the other day I just made this, for me, huuge discovery! Which I am sure everybody knows by now but it sure took me by surprise!
I've been using this so called
volume powder for a while, since I'm a bit obsessed with volume in my hair, and I really liked the results! My hair did get volume and it could stay like that for days ... except the fact that it
made my hair feel rough and almost dirty looking so it forced me to wash it more often than I want to..it also left this weird unpleasant smell you had to get used to, not to mention how hard it was to brush with it in and your hair needs to be brushed to look and feel it's best, right?
Volume Powder:
made to put around scalp for volume and mattification of the hair.
Despite knowing this, I went to the store to buy some more of this powder and the seller responsed with:
- Ah, yes I will show you were our
dry shampoos are ~
- ... No, I have that already, I need volume powder.
- Oh, that's the same thing.
- ... eh? o.o;
So uh, apparently, nowadays, people use dry shampoo instead of the volume powder and it works just fine.
I left the store in a very sceptical mode but also eager to try this out with the product that's been standing on my shelf for a year...
Dry shampoo:
Makes the hair look washed and can give volume when spraying around scalp.
This is the kind I'm using and I tried it for volume right away. Guess what.
It works, and I will post a picture of me after I've used it too as soon as I can.
I know this might be old news for a lot of people but for me it's a totally different story!
Now I have a whole bottle of volumy goodness to use up!
I really like this because:
- This doesn't smell!
- It doesn't leave your hair in a horrible rough-looking state the day after
- It won't be in the way of your brush and wont damage your hair as much as hairspray
- It doesn't leave your hands all smelly and powdery
- Instead of making your hair looking dirty it leaves it looking like you just washed it!
The sales-person in the butique showed me the ones they were selling (and they were now selling them mainly for volume-cause and stopped selling the powder!), and she told me they had alternatives for
- different haircolors
- different smells desired
- and for those who wants extra extra volume!
I don't even know which one I'll go for when I've used up mine but it will probably be one of the ones she showed me... *picture below*
Batiste dry shampoo: three of the many alternatives,
with different smells, for different haircolors and amount of volume!
I hope this is news for at least some people out there and that this has made you as excited as it made me! ^.^ Volume UP!
