aAre you constantly fighting flat hair? As someone with thin, fine hair, I literally feel your pain. When I attempt to volumize my hair with styling waxes, it lasts for a whopping 30 seconds before drooping down on me. Then I have to spend the rest of my day looking like a tired hippie.
This year there is a large influx of styling powders developed by brands in the market. These powders promise to solve all our limpy hair problems.
Originally I wasn’t really hopeful before I tried out some of the popular texture powders that we sell to treat my flat hair issue. Lo and behold, after the experience, it is now one of my favourite hair styling product category that I must include in my daily hair styling regime.
Uppercut Deluxe Styling Powder $29
So what are texture powders?
Mister Pompadour Texture Powder $28
These powders are usually tacky and meant to give you amped up volume and texture. A small amount yields a big payoff in the volume department.
Finer hair types tends to lay flat and lifeless so an added boost is needed.

Using the texture powder as a pre-styler is one of the best options for providing that initial volume to your hairstyle - giving that instant extra oomph to your hairstyle.
