I have seen these styling powders in the shops and hardly ever paid them a cursory glance. I imagined that they were for stylish, funky, short haired people who washed their hair once a month!
When I was sent this to review I confess to leaving it on my dressing table for a few weeks, picking it up occasionally, squinting to try and read the miniscule instructions on the pot and then putting it back where I had got it from. Then at the weekend I finally decided to give it a go and see what it was all about.
Dust It Texture is a styling powder giving a soft matt effect, control and volume. The more you apply the more volume you get.
My hair can be a bit flat on top so I sprinkled the powder around the crown area, the powder disappeared immediately on contact, I then basically just ruffled my hair, to my complete amazement the texture of my hair completely changed and it looked as though I'd had a severe back combing! I was horrified, I couldn't get a brush through my hair, my hair was stuck in mid ruffle on top of my head and I had no option but to wash my hair, it took 3 washes to even get some sort of lather going on and to eventually wash the product out.
Once my hair was back to it's normal flat self I looked at other reviews of this product on-line and realised immediately that it was me that was at fault and not the product, I had apparently used enough product for 10 heads of hair, this would explain why my hair ended up high enough and hard enough to use as a battering ram at a smash and grab, I bet this is the product that Jedward use to get those gravity defying quiffs
Anyhow, back to the dressing table I went and this time I sprinkled a very small amount of product on my crown, I ruffled a little bit and ended up with a pleasing amount of volume that I was able to mould to give my hair some oomph just where I needed it. The volume that you get is basically there until you wash it out. I would imagine that this product is indispensable if you have a very textured hairstyle. For me, I would use it when I was going out to get that volume at the crown. Even when using a small amount, this product does take a double wash to get the product out. Absolutely perfect product for an up-do.

I bought some of this on ebay a while ago, i dont reach for it much, because even though it gives good results, it makes your hair all stickified and thus you have to wash it the next morning! :) rachinald.blogspot.com :)
ReplyDelete@Rachinald Yes I know exactly what you mean, I use it if I am going out but I definitely have to wash my hair the following day. Jude xx
ReplyDeleteThis sounds good too, definitely going to try it out.
ReplyDeleteSchwarzkoph also make a product for men called Taft styling powder. It comes in a green and black box with a man on the front. Exactly the same product, same ingredients and less than a quarter of the cost of Osis Dust It!
