Crack, For Hair!

    If you're anything like me, the finishing touch to any look is sexy, voluminous hair.  Sometimes, however, getting that gorgeous volume and va-va-voom texture can be tricky, and damaging to your hair (hello, backcombing!).... Until NOW!
    If you haven't got your pretty little hands on a bottle of Shwarzkopf Osis+ Dust it, or Kevin Murphy's adorably monikered Powder Puff, you are missing out on all your dreams of sexy bedroom-esque texture, un-faltering volume, and mattifying gloriousness.  Both products are silica based - they use silica silylate particles, which act as to mattify, thicken, and absorb excess oil + sebum.  Silica silylate is hydrophobic, meaning that it repels water, and thus allows your hair to be piled sky high. The silica, along with a unique combination of polymers, allows for intense, hair-up-to-there volume that simply does not stop!  When you notice your volume start to fall a little, massage your scalp and BOOM! it's back to sexy.
  I was introduced to both these products by my stylist, Tim McClean (Oskar on Scollard), aka hair enthusiast/genius.  He applied the product directly to my hair, and backcombed to demonstrate that you can literally make hair stand on its ends!  I purchased the Osis+ Dust It product, simply because the Kevin Murphy had yet to be launched.  The two products are essentially the same, but the Kevin Murphy Powder Puff has a finer texture, and also incorporates more moisturizing, nourishing, natural ingredients.
  These products are absolutely perfect for creating a perfectly de-constructed, voluminous 'do, as seen consistently on the runway, in fashion magazines, and not so surprisingly, on my head.  One warning: it's heavily addictive, proceed with caution.
