One of the hair and beauty secrets that the Hollywood stars hold so dear is the use of hair powder. Classic fashion hair updos that stay up, oily hair that never looks stringy- hair powder is their secret. I know, if you’ve got fine and limp hair that loses its shape within the hours updos are frustrating. That’s where hair powder comes in.

Did you ever try to use cornstarch or baby powder to control oily hair? Well, it works. The problem is that cornstarch and baby powder are really messy. And a brunette can go grey if she overdoes it on the baby powder. I found a hair powder by Bumble and Bumble that comes in 5 different colors so that it actually blends in with your hair. This even helps blend the roots in better. I also found a powder called Shake it Loose Powder by Tigi Bedhead. I’ve had a lot of luck with the Bedhead products.

Hair powder is really easy to use.

1. Shake really well.

2. Spray and work through hair with your fingers.

3. Style away.

That’s really it. 1-2-3. You didn’t think all that Hollywood hair just styled itself did you?
