a little white powder goes a long way

Jun 8th, 2010

My hair has always been a point of contention for me. It’s thin and fine and the only time it ever looked good, without the help of the massive amount of extensions I have installed monthly, was when I was pregnant. What I had amassed during pregnancy #2 promptly fell out a couple weeks after my kid made his entrance. It has been in a state of flux ever since. Recently, though, I had my hair done for a wedding and an angel sent from the heavens (otherwise known as my hairdresser, Sarah), brought out a vile of white powder. Now get your mind out of the gutter, it wasn’t that kind of white powder it was a product called Dust It by Osis. She sprinkled a wee bit in my hair, worked it in and voilà, instant volume without the heaviness that my hair cannot handle. I have been using it ever since in my battle against flat hair. It works wonders in this ridiculous humidity we have smothering us in the sunshine state. Two tips to keep in mind: 1. Buy it online. It’s much cheaper than at the salon. 2. For the brunettes and redheads out there, make sure to really work the powder in. It looks like dandruff if you don’t.
