Pro Tips for How to Use Hair Powder for Volume
There are a few easy ways to protect your hair during the summer months and restore it to its beautiful, shiny glory when needed.
Apply to dry hair
This hair volumizing product works best when used on dry hair. You’re not going to want to apply this to wet or damp hair.
Start with a small amount and build
This product is buildable. This means that you can be as subtle or as extra as you want. Once you’ve sectioned your hair, puff at the roots starting with a small amount. Massage the hair volume powder in and make sure you’re happy with the result. If you want a little more va-va-volume, keep adding a little bit at a time until you’ve achieved your desired look.
Couple it with a texture spray
All great things come in pairs like, wine and cheese, strawberries and cream, and volumizing powder and texture spray! This duo complements each other so well and will leave your hair looking lifted and glamorous. Volumizing powder focuses on lifting your roots, while texture spray focuses on adding body and fullness throughout your mid-lengths and ends. Using them together will give you root-to-end volume. Like two peas in a pod, our hair volumizing powder and dry texture spray both come from our PUFF.ME Line, which has been specifically formulated to give you lush, full hair.
Hair volumizing powder works for everyone but feels like it was made specifically for you. Whether you have fine hair that needs a daily lift, second- or third-day hair that needs a refresh, or you are building the perfect base for a braid or updo, it delivers every time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use hair volumizing powder on coloured hair?
Yes. The PUFF.ME Volumizing Powder is colour-safe and talc-free, so it is suitable for coloured, highlighted, and chemically treated hair without any risk of fading or damage.
How long does volumizing powder last in the hair?
A single application can last a few days, depending on your hair type and the amount of product you use.
