Instant Oomph

FOR POMPADOURS THAT PLEASE
(and height that holds), try these three simple, stylist-approved steps:
1 Layer Tonic Lotion and Thickening Hairspray from roots to ends.
2 Blow-dry with hands, pulling hair up and back to build volume.
3 Apply Hair Powder at the roots for extra lift, using hands to shape and add texture.

BLACK Hair Powder

Black hair powder is great for inky brown, Asian, Hispanic, afro and goths.
Bumble and bumble's Hair Powder is so amazing for so many reasons! Read this weeks previous posts to learn why. One of my favorite things about Hair Powder is it's a dry shampoo.
How to absorb oil (dry cleanse): Hold can 10-12 inches from dry hair; spray thoroughly, concentrating on oily areas; let dry; brush out thoroughly and style.
*Important note: Be sure to protect clothing, bath and bed linens during use (spots can be easily removed with a mild soap and water).

BROWN Hair Powder



Brown Hair Powder is great for chocolate, mahogany and chestnut brunette.
Tinted Hair Powder is amazing for so many reasons. It can help extend time between colors, helps cover grays as they grow in and if you are thinning you can spray it on your scalp to make the hair appear thicker.
How to style or tint with Hair Powder: Hair Powder requires a slightly oily surface to adhere to (we recommend a light application of Styling Wax as a base if hair is clean); section dry hair at the scalp; hold can 10-12 inches away from hair and spray thoroughly, being sure to penetrate all layers (if an overall effect is desired); let dry; shake out excess with fingers and style.

BLONDISH Hair Powder

Blondish Hair Powder is great for darker blondes and lighter brunettes.
Hair Powder gives you instant fullness, no-slip updos, blended roots and dry cleansing. My favorite, favorite thing about the tinted hair powders are they cover your roots. This means you can go longer between coloring your hair, it blends grays and is quick and easy. It's also great if your hair is thinning; spray it on your scalp and voila it instantly makes your hair look thicker!
Important note: Be sure to protect clothing, bath and bed linens during use (spots can be easily removed with a mild soap and water).

WHITE Hair Powder

White Hair Powder is great for white, silver, platinum, ash and champagne blondes.
Hair Powder is a dry shampoo, but it really is so much more then that. So as a dry shampoo it's great to use on oily (or less than clean) hair. It's also a great tool to use on fine hair to add some depth and volume. Lastly, it's great to use when you want your hair to look more matte instead of shiny. There's a reason Bumble's Hair Powder is one of our best sellers! Pin It

SUPERNATURAL (HAIR) POWDERS

It's Bumble and Bumble Hair Powder Week! This magic, multi-purpose product boosts volume, blends roots, gives grip and dry cleanses (instantly). Basically, it's a bottle full of tricks. Hair powder comes in WHITE, BLONDISH, BROWN and BLACK. Each day I'll feature a different color and the benefits of each. But first a little Hair Powder history...
Bumble and bumble created these aerosol styling powders in five shades. They add sexy va-va volume, extend the life of a blow-dry by absorbing excess oil and provide a dry texture that keeps pins and clips from slipping (so styles stay put). The shades enhance or shift hair color - these fantastic (and fun) forms of temporary color can be used to blend away roots between color appointments (Hallelujah!).

Where do you think the name "Powder Room" came from?! (no joke)


More on White hair powder tomorrow!

hair how to: uptown girl

A clever and that much more formal manipulation of BHLDN's Sainted Sister Blusher Veil becomes the signature of this look. It’s super simple but packs all the punch of a well-groomed society gal.
1. Comb the hair straight back into a low ponytail. Secure with a hair band.
2. Tease the pony, mist with Spray de Mode and twist it tightly into a chignon. Spray again with Spray de Mode.
3. Here’s where the veil comes in: to complete the look, fasten the comb above the chignon, fold a layer of tulle down and over it, and then pin the tulle into place. Pin It
