Happy Shrapnel

I just look really sad when my hair is limp. By sad I mean like a dork, not so much sad as in tearful. And so I use a really fantastic product that you might not have heard about.

Stila Hair Powder is meant to be used for those days when you don’t want to wash your hair and need volume. Or as I have found, even if your hair is freshly washed, it is excellent for adding thickness.

This product is not to be confused with the other somewhat known hair powder product by Bumble & Bumble. The B&B Aerosol Hair Powder Spray is very odd and when I bought and tried it, it totally reminded me of those late night “spray on hair” infomercials for balding men. Not a fan. However, I have found the Stila Hair Powder to be a great product.

A few helpful tips for use…

1.) Is best for somewhat lightish hair shades since it is a whitish color.

2.) Only put it on the roots (except as specified below). On the rest of the hair it just kind of makes hair clumpy.

3.) Do not use if you have extensions.

4.) Especially fabulous if you have fine hair.

5.) Makes hair really “grippy” for an updo. It is wonderful for this and this is the one circumstance where you would want to apply the powder throughout your hair.

6.) Do not buy the “Creme Bouquet” scent, it smells weird. Only buy the “Jade Blossom” scent which is lovely.

This product, if used correctly, basically makes you look like you have a lot more hair. It is $28.00 a bottle and a bottle lasts a really long time. When I use Stila’s Hair Powder, I don’t need mouse or hairspray or teasing, (of my hair that it). It’s a fabulous product.
