What They Say:
"Shake to create!
Sprinkle onto damp or dry hair at the roots to create volume and texture. To give yourself the bedroom look, you can just
sprinkle a few taps of POWDER.PUFF onto the roots of your hair and ‘hey presto’
you have the bedroom look when you need it. To create a messy casual volume,
gently tap a few shakes on the hair that you want body on, and the powder
morphs into a product that holds".

What I Say:
I have previously reviewed the Kevin Murphy Hydrate-Me.Wash and Hydrate-Me.Rinse, and the Kevin Murphy Born Again Masque, and as I really
really loved these products, naturally I also had big expectations for the
Powder.Puff
The Kevin Murphy Powder.Puff comes in such a cute little pastel pink container with a small indentation in the one side to make it easier to hold.
It is small, and so adorable. At the top of the container there are small
holes, making it resemble baby powder, and which makes it easy to get the right
dosage into the hair without wasting any product.
The actual powder is a volume powder that can be used in both wet and dry hair,
which is a bonus. I found that the easiest way to use it was to apply it into
sections of your hair at a time, making sure you apply it near the roots of the
hair, and hereafter massaging with scalp with your fingers to work through the
products.
When used in dry hair, it acts similar to dry shampoo, in
that it absorbs the oil from the hair (and sadly like most dry shampoos, also
do make the hair look a little mat and dull), so it is perfect to use as a
substitute to dry shampoo on the days where you don’t have time to wash your
hair.
And the Powder really does work, giving the hair volume and
texture, and without weighing my hair down. I’m so surprised and I didn’t think
I would hear myself saying that!
As mentioned, the Powder can also be used in wet hair, which
I of course also tried, but I have to admit that I felt that I used a lot more
product (than when using on dry hair) as it just seemed be absorbed by my wet
hair. It did give me hair a much needed lift, but I felt that the effect was
much better in dry hair.
And the volume does hold fairly well during the day,
although it does seem to ‘flatten down’ as the day goes on – but again keep in
mind that I have very long, thick and heavy hair. And although I normally wash
my hair every second day, it also doesn’t hold the volume til the next day, but
I have to admit that I didn’t expect that either.
The actual powder is also very similar in style to baby
powder, and it has a light floral scent, but it is very faint, and disappears more
or less immediately once in the hair.
At $36.95 for such a small bottle, it is a little pricey,
and even though it is concentrated, and will last you quite a while.
All in all the Powder.Puff really does work at giving the
hair volume, even in my long and heavy hair- so it would be a blessing for all
those with thin and fine hair, where I could imagine that it would really show
its powers!! Still I will continue to enjoy using it on those days where my
hair seems particularly flat and limp!

Does your hair lack volume too? What do you use to help give
it some volume?
I've been meaning to try out KM products for a while now, but keep forgetting since it's not stocked at all hairdressers.
ReplyDeleteI need this! I lost a LOT of hair after having my daughter (I thought I was going to go bald!), and while it has been growing back, my hair is still quite fine. :(
I really love the Kevin Murphy products - the shampoo, conditioner and treatment that I've tried are also fantastic products.
DeleteI so hope I wont lose my hair when I give birth...I've always had thick hair, and a lot of it too, so that would be horrible!
This sounds like a good product and I think it will work well for my hair as it's fine. It's pretty pricey, though!

It is a great product, but yes, I do agree that it is a bit pricey. But as it is product of this kind I've tried, so I'm not even aware of any cheaper alternatives!
DeleteHi Karina,
ReplyDeleteLove your honest review. The bottle is so pretty and I am always in need of a dry shampoo so that's another bonus... but it is pricey so it would need to be better than cheaper alternatives to sell me.

Unfortunately I have not tried other products of this kind, so Im unaware of possible cheaper alternatives!
