So, my first blog should be about something super important, right? Hmmm. Ok, I am about to share one of my biggest beauty secrets... Baby powder. Yep, I can’t live without it. I had read a long time ago that Angelina Jolie (or someone along those lines) uses it to get volume in their hair. I could usually care less about celebrities and what they are doing, but one day after trying a new shine product that left my hair a little too greasy I was running late for work and in a bind. I desperately looked around the bathroom and in an act of desperation sprinkled some in my hair hoping to absorb some of the greasy mess I had made. What I got was amazing results! Not only did it absorb the extra product, but it added a ton of volume! Even though I have super dark hair you couldn’t see a hint of the baby powder, I was amazed.
Like all good ideas I have, I completely forgot about it. That is until the next time I slept in and hadn’t washed my hair in 2 days. I grabbed the baby powder and dumped it on my head, and viola, amazing results (we are talking one of those days where people kept stopping me and telling me how gorgeous my hair is). So now I use it regularly, it’s great for volume. I usually use it before I go to bed, so that way I don’t have to worry about combing it through completely since my hair is so dark. It’s even better since I am the queen of the snooze button!! I finally got out of bed at 8:08 this morning (I have to work at 8:30.) I was here, on time, and I’ve gotten 3 compliments on my hair. I love baby powder! You seriously have to try it.
I am going to try this! I never heard of using baby powder :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome tip!! Do you put it in after or before you style? And just the roots or or all over? - Can
ReplyDeleteI put it in before I style, but there are days that I put it in a few times to get the "desired" results. I put in in all over, I flip my head upside down and cover pretty much all of my hair. If I am straightening my hair I might go back through and add a little more just at the roots for some extra lift. I use my fingers to run it through my hair, if I use a comb it gets staticky, so I'll just use a wide tooth one if I need to but I try to just use my fingers. I also put a towel on the bathroom floor first, cause you will get baby powder everywhere! And don't do it after you get dressed :)
DeleteHaha good tip about the towel! I CAN'T WAIT to try!! Thanks for sharing!!
DeleteLook at you go!! Already getting comments and followers! I'm pretty sure I'm still writing to myself on mine lol
