Colored powder for hair is an innovation in this area that will help any beauty to become even brighter and more self-confident.
Color powder (or crayons) - what is it?
The beauty industry has reached a qualitative level in its development when self-transformation becomes a simpler, faster and less energy-intensive process. Now it is not necessary to spend hours with the stylist, think for a long time before changing the image.
To do this, you can use a tool such as colored powder for hair. It is a powdery glossy or matte product designed for dyeing and styling hair. It comes in a wide variety of shades - raspberry, blue, yellow or green. The main difference from other tinting agents is that the powder keeps on the hair even less.

If it is placed in a powder box, you need to place a curl in it and several times (depending on the desired degree of coloring) to hold the product through the hair. If the powder is loose, you can apply it with your hands, carefully rubbing the dye with your fingers into the curls. Sometimes powder is available in the form of a spray.

Hair powder: reviews
Girls who have tried on themselves powder for coloring or modeling hairstyles, agree that this is a great way to experiment with the image. Firstly, the variety of colors allows you to "try on" any image - gentle and mysterious or bright and daring. Secondly, you can do this quite often. Thirdly, the effect of staining will always be the one indicated on the package. This will save the nerves and wallet from frequent trips to the master for repainting. What to say about hair that will remain alive.
There is another positive effect that is noted not only by women. This is masking bald spots. The powder well hides the areas where hair loss began. In addition, it creates an effect of density. Thin and sparse hair takes on the appearance of a thick head of hair.
The pleasant emotions of the girls using colored powder remain from the fact that the product can be “worn” every day, and for a special occasion. For example, for an everyday look, you can make a more neutral color like an ombre, slightly stain individual strands, as in highlighting. But for parties to create the most extraordinary "rainbows" in the brightest colors!
As for the effect of powder on the hair, this remedy has not received particularly negative responses. With infrequent use, thorough washing off the hair does not deteriorate. They note only that the powder can emphasize the imperfections of the hair, for example, cut ends. Therefore, it is better to apply it to healthy hair.
With proper application, the powder holds in its original form for up to 6 hours, which is not so bad for a product that does not penetrate the hair and is fixed only on its surface.
After applying the powder, it is recommended to use balm, as the hair may tangles.
Of course, powder cannot replace the classic paint and styling products. But this is not necessary. Colored powder for hair is a good way to experiment, decide on the main color or shine at a fun event.
