Volume, VOLUME, Incredible Volume! My products for root volume and powders for creating it. Full analysis of the composition and examples of styling.

Who doesn’t want hair that is full and stays that way all day? A hairstyle can be entirely changed by adding root volume, which gives it bounce, life, and that "wow" factor. But getting the ideal lift isn’t always simple, particularly if your hair flattens out after a few hours. The appropriate products can help with that.

I’ll be sharing my go-to products for root volume in this post, including effective powders and sprays. We’ll go into detail about the components and how they support root lifting; I’ll also walk you through how to use them to get the best results.

Prepare yourself for some fashion inspiration and useful advice to up your volume game. Let’s examine all the information you require to attain amazing root volume that lasts all day!

So… My acquaintance with the world of styling products began with powders for adding volume.

I was drawn to them because they were simple to use and left the hair looking completely unmarked. Like many novices in this field, I initially thought that a snow-white powder would look like dandruff and that I should find a powder that matched the color of my hair (which, incidentally, some do exist). I’ll discuss and contrast styling powders made by various manufacturers in this post. Now let’s move!

Getting amazing root volume can totally change the look of your hair, giving it a fuller, more dynamic appearance. I’ll go over my go-to products and powders for producing amazing volume in this post, along with a thorough analysis of their ingredients. In addition, I’ll provide you simple styling instructions that suit a variety of hair types so you can achieve the desired lift and texture.

Taft “Instant Volume” Hair Styling Powder

Manufacturer: Schwarzkopf& Henkel, a German company based in Dusseldorf Cost: 268 rubles Ten grams in weight. The bottle is two-thirds full of powder when the perforated membrane is opened. The manufacturer’s application instructions for the powder are included in the box: Make-up:

Aqua is a combination of water and silica silylate, which thickens and prevents foaming. It is safe for skin and hair (avoid getting it in the eyes), and it is used to make the product more consistent. Preservative sodium benzoate, acidity-regulating citric acid, acrylates, octylacrylamide, and butylaminoethyl methacrylate copolymer, which function as antistatic, film-forming, and fixing agents

And now I"ll show you how it can transform my sleek hair

What’s in our possession? The face is framed by thin, recently washed and blow-dried hair, with the front strands falling over the eyes and no hairpin to hold them back or my hands being in the wrong place to properly pin my hair up.

With care to avoid getting any on the roots, I take the powder and begin to sprinkle it along the partings.

I fluff up the hair in the same spot after using my other hand to sprinkle.

Sprinkle and fluff (this movement generally occurs reflexively for me, similar to kisa-milana, because of the constant lack of volume).

Already at the first the powder starts to work upon contact with hair! Due to the so-called chemical reaction, it turns into a thin invisible web-corset that entangles every hair within its reach and prevents it from bending.
The impressions to the touch are not pleasant, because.hair covered with powder acquires roughness, texture, due to which the volume is maintained. I run my fingers through my hair and am perplexed by the sensations: it seems to me that I have done a backcombing, and there are terrible dried-out tangles at the roots, although in fact this is not so! The hair is perfectly combed from the roots , the main thing is not to rip it out with a comb.

But it is better not to use such powder every day, because.it can dry out your hair, and try to wash the finished product on the same day.

A maximum of one hour can be achieved with this type of powder on brush-styled hair, and slightly less than twenty minutes on unstyled hair, like mine, during which time you will need to restyle your hair. Yes, microvolume is evident even the following day. However, that’s all. One evening, the hot water was unexpectedly turned off, and I was so exhausted that I put off washing my hair until the following day+100500 justifications for a lazy hair maniac. The WOW effect was not realized. Moving forward, let’s search for a more potent styling powder.

The item from the St. Petersburg brand is the next in line.

By Krutz Hair Care Endless Volume powder for adding volume to hair

The powder is contained in the most basic plastic pouring bottle with a hinged lid and a single hole behind it. Pouring it into my palms and then dusting it on my hair roots was a very inconvenient way for me to remove the powder. Manufacturer: Savonry Company, St. Petersburg, Russia 500 rubles is the price. Volume/weight: 30 g, which raises concerns when considering the packaging’s layout The manufacturer’s promises:

Natural hair volume all day long? One minute and a tiny bit of Endless Volume hair powder will do. The best part is that you can get this look without causing harm to your hair or scalp thanks to Endless Volume powder.

Composition: I noticed a discrepancy between the compositions listed on the website for purchasing this powder and the label of the actual tool. I’ll present both possibilities, To Be. Content as stated on the website:

Silica Silylate — thickener, antifoam, does not bring benefit or harm to the skin and hair (avoid contact with eyes), used to improve the consistency of the product,
Kaolin – white clay, can act as a neutralizer of fat content (t.E removes excess sebum),
Potato Starch Modified — potato starch has a calming effect,
Tapioca Starch — tapioca starch, restores the protective barrier and retains moisture on the scalp,
Corn Startch Modified — corn starch, this component is introduced as a volume-increasing sedimentation agent and emulsifier, preservative, and also as an astringent component,
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice — aloe vera, moisturizing effect.
PWD — Google gives some nonsense about the root folder.

Composition that makes safety and naturalness claims, and the maker is well-versed in perversions.

Contents as stated on the label:

Silica Dimethyl Silylate is a silicon derivative that is both harmless and ineffective for skin and hair. It functions as an adhesive component and filler to prevent the formation of lumps. consistency-forming ingredient in talc, Has potato starch that has been modified a calming effect? Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, removes oil and other impurities from hair. Citric acid functions as an acidity regulator in cosmetic products, and sodium benzoate serves as a preservative.

All of the "naturalness" is that. The main ingredients are different from Taft, but they are still silicon derivatives, citric acid, and a preservative.

Use your hands to add volume to your dry hair and powder the root area.

Kruts powder is very different from Taft powder.
At least take the consistency of the domestic powder: it is more airy, light, like the first snow. If you blow, the Kruts grains will still chaotically float around the room for some time. These grains, despite the fact that they are smaller than Taft grains, tend to bunch up, forming pebbles, and because of this they seem not so small. And darker: if Taft is snow-white, then Kruts goes into a barely noticeable blue. It has a chemical pharmacy smell, which I did not really like.
Also, when using Kruts powder it does not cause a slight chill when in contact with the scalp.
I decided to use this powder test it on another hairstyle, using papillotes and backcombing, but without additional styling products (let"s not forget that I"m just learning))
In the evening, I curled my freshly washed hair with soft papillotes, and to prevent my efforts from falling apart by the morning, I put a cap on top.
The next morning I look quite decent. I proceed to remove the curlers
After that, I do a combing strand by strand
It turned out something such
Taking the baby By Krutz Hair Care, open its tiny lid, shake the bottle two or three times, and on the last shake towards the strand, press on the bottle: a holiday is coming to us, a holiday is coming to us… always Coca-Cola powder falls on the head in light stream clouds
I applied the powder strand by strand, after applying I fluffed up my hair as it should be. Even with the presence of albeit crooked, but backcombing, volume was reluctantly created. Strands every now and then stood out from the overall picture. But then you can make voluminous hairstyles from this material (if you get the hang of it and get your hand in, eh. )
Here I am, such a daring beauty… but I immediately noticed another difference between Krutz powder and Taft powder: Kruts powder does not lose color! It remains an unpleasant whitish-gray coating on my hair, giving an old dirty-bluish tint to my almost black roots. I think it is better not to take this powder to brunettes and brown-haired women because of the visibility of the hair.
You can comb a large roller in front and stab two side strands behind, framing this hill. How these strands (harnesses, braids, etc.D.) depends on your imagination and talents))
My imagination pushed my talent to the side, and I was able to put a ferronniere on a voluminous hairstyle
Or comb the hair on one side and let the hair fall on the other.

The aforementioned adjustments were all completed in the morning. I wear my hair down or up throughout the day. When it got late and I had to leave the house, I just carefully combed my hair upside down to make it look divine. This is how it worked out: My hair’s white layer never came off. However, the volume was present. And not too bad, but not very durable.

The same as the last powder, this one feels like this one too: your hair turns into unmanageable thickets, and you have to constantly whip it up. Volume, even in a bob, does not hold for very long (because of the length of my hair). Furthermore, even several hours after application, this powder is still visible on my dark hair, which I find unacceptable for a non-budget product like this.

An Italian woman who came to me literally the day before yesterday was the third test subject.

Kaaral Pink Up Push Up – Powder for volume

Manufacturer:Kaaral
Price:
Weight:

And yes, it cools the scalp, as if signaling us that we are pouring it in the wrong place!

In isolation, Kaaral powder appears to be the lightest-textured, snow-white powder – hello, first snow. It started to seem to me that this was the golden mean in terms of consistency even at the moment when I took the picture, or more accurately, when I poured the powder onto the background. The powder has no smell.

A comparison of the three means reveals a slightly different picture: Although Kaaral and Taft appear to have the same color and consistency at first glance, it’s important to remember that sometimes images and post-processing techniques can’t accurately capture what the human eye perceives. In my opinion, Kaaral powder is precisely what I mentioned above—a cross between Taft and Krutz powders.

Easy to apply, fine powder for volume that produces immediate effects. gives hair, no matter the shape or length, volume and shape. matte finish. Volume is guaranteed for a maximum of 24 hours.

Ingredients:

In order to improve the consistency of the product, octylacrylamide, acrylates, butylaminoethyl methacrylate copolymer—copolymers—are added. Aqua is water, silica silylate—thickener, foam suppressor, and does not benefit or harm skin and hair (avoid contact with eyes). Methyl alcohol is an aromatic alcohol that serves as a light fragrance and preservative.Citric acid regulates acidity. Methylisothiazolinone is a non-toxic antibacterial component with a broad range of antimicrobial action. Methylchloroisothiazolinone is a potent preservative.

With the exception of the addition of three different types and purposes of preservatives at the end of the Kaaral composition and the lack of sodium benzoate, the composition is nearly identical to that of Taft powder.

Application: it is enough to apply a small amount of powder to the roots to get a push-up effect. Apply directly to dry hair, distribute evenly and continue modeling with your fingers.

So, yesterday I washed my hair, and today I am like this, sleek and dissatisfied
When I look at this photo, it seems that when they tell me about the decent thickness of my hair, they mean a photo from a parallel universe, where cats drown people … why is there no double underlining when you want to blacken the thoughts that you want to express, but they are not in the format of the site?
I sprinkle the powder on partings. This time, I only ignore the center parting so that the hair remains soft and more mobile.
I didn"t leave much more partings unattended, including the back ones, unlike the time when I added volume with Taft powder. I applied Kaaral more generously, if only because there is more of it than Taft to begin with and, as an experimenter, I try different methods of application in terms of quality and quantity, trying to find the ideal one for myself. And after applying, I gently fluff the root zone with my fingers. The feeling of the same impenetrable forest as the previous times, but what I want to note: these impenetrable thickets are much softer than the thickets of Taft and Krutz, fingers slip inside the hairstyle more easily, there is less stickiness. And this despite the fact that I applied more Kaaral powder than the same Taft. It leaves no traces, and that"s good!
Let"s see what happened: Volume, Volume, incredible volume
I like the third photo, there is beautiful volume, and my angry face (well, I love myself exactly like this, and nothing can be done about it, although I am a kind shushpantsir)
But miracles do not happen, and the volume falls off after about half an hour or an hour, and it needs to be stimulated again (and what else is powder for?). You can comb your hair without any problems, again – extremely carefully, and the volume will please you again. And at the end of the day, wash your hair and perform a spa ritual with a nourishing mask.
