What it does
A colorless silica based styling powder you sprinkle at the roots for volume, texture and a matte finish, sold here as a set of three 10 g bottles.
- Sprinkle on clean, dry roots, then massage in with fingertips
- Adds lift and texture in seconds
- Matte finish with no shine
- Hold can be reworked through the day without adding more product
- Also absorbs oil at the roots
Good for short or fine hair that needs quick lift and a matte, messy texture without wax or gel. The trade offs are a dry, gritty feel by the end of the day, powder that can scatter when applied, and small bottles.
