LA BIOSTHETIQUE Instant Volumising Powder RT 14g (was Volume Powder)

A 14g loose styling powder that sits at the roots and pushes hair up off the scalp. It is the answer to hair that goes flat by mid-morning, and the grip layer stylists build into braids and updos so pins hold and the shape stays where it was put.

The actives

• Silica — supplies the grip and helps create the volume.
• High-tech polymer — delivers the weightless push-up effect the powder is built around.

How to use it

Dry hair only. Part the hair loosely, dust the powder sparingly along the parting, and rub it in lightly at the roots. Shape with your fingers from there. Build it in small amounts — it is far easier to add than to take out.

Worth knowing

Works on all hair types, and does the most on fine and short hair where root lift shows straight away. The finish is matte, so it adds no shine. This is a texture and grip product rather than a hair refresher — Powder Spray and the Refreshing Dry Shampoo cover that job.
