"Where Did You Get That?": Texturizing Powder

Happy Friday! Didn't this week feel like it lasted forever? I am so happy to see you mister weekend, where have you been?!

My topic today is something I discovered recently through my hair stylist, Emily. She is a lifesaver. It is called texturizing and volume hair powder. It.will.change.your.life.

I use the BigSexy Hair brand, but there are plenty of other brands out there that work just as good. The little tube is $14, but it lasts forever. All you do is sprinkle (do not pour haha) the powder onto your hair on the sections you want to have volume. For me, I pour it on the crown (where I would normally tease) and on the very top of my head. Try your best to not get the powder on your scalp because it will be noticeable.

Once you've "sprinkled" the desired amount, just rub it in...and be amazed! I can't even describe the look on my face the first time Emily used this product on my hair. The texture and volume it creates is unbelievable. I barely have to tease or use any hairspray.

Don't get this project confused with dry shampoo (which is also amazing). It does not work the same. Actually, it works the best on clean hair.

Advertising the product, you know.

So, maybe the texturizing powder just isn't for you. Another way to get volume and texture is by a good 'ol fashion teased hairdo. Us Pentecostal girls have no shame in this. We know what to do! We love some big hair.

My favorite teasing brush is a brush that I, of course, bought through Emily. You can also use a bristle brush to tease and a wide tooth comb to lightly brush it out. The comb I use is basically like a bristle brush and a wide tooth comb all in one.

My weapons of choice :)

So, everyone has a celebrity that they draw inspiration from. Mine, here recently, believe it or not, is Katy Perry. I don't like her music all that much, but there is no denying that she is a beautiful girl. I love her dark hair. Role model? Not so much. Hair inspiration? Maybe a little :)
