Bumble and Bumble Hair Powder

I know this sounds gross but come on, we’ve all been there.  You are in a hurry to a function where you HAVE TO look your best but you look in the mirror and you see the oil slick that is your hair.  What to do?  I know there are other “dry shampoo” sprays out there, I’ve tried them all.  This one by Bumble and Bumble was recommended to me by my local beauty shop owner – she said I could bring it back if it doesn’t work.  I love those risk free guarantees =)  This is more of an aerosol spray than a powder, you don’t shake it on your head like powdered sugar, it sprays the powder into your roots with pretty powerful bursts.  My hair became instantly matte but what I didn’t expect was it gave my hair so much volume!  All that gunk that goes in there stiffens the hair like Aqua Net (remember those? or maybe some of you still use it).  It isn’t the best feeling, you definitely don’t want your first date to be running his hands through there and remember, your hair IS still dirty, it just looks “matte”.  When you finally get to that hair wash, you will need to shampoo twice and you will see the color come out.  They used to make this in clear but they couldn’t get it to come out clear so all of them come in a color now, which adds yet another function to this wonderous product, gray coverage!  Even if you don’t need the coverage, it is still necessary to keep you from looking like you’re wearing a powdered wig.  Bumble and Bumble Hair Powder (4.4 oz) for $41.  Also comes in a smaller 2 oz bottle for $22.

  1. I color my hair in funky colors, so these don’t really work that well. I’ve been trying out Matrix Biolage’s Oil Control Treatment, and I still don’t know if I like it. =P
