TEXTURE POWDER FOR HAIR

TEXTURE POWDER FOR HAIR

photos design: Kristin Ess

Every once in a while we like to mix it up and throw in a weekend hair idea. Since there have been so many emails about texturizing powder, we figured it was the perfect pairing! Texturizing powder is used for many things: building body, creating more texture and mattifying. In this tutorial we’re using a simple fishtail braid to demonstrate. As you see in the before photo on the left, her hair is shiny, clean and tidy– looks great as is. But sometimes you just feel like your hair is “too clean”. That could sound insane to some, but if you really want that messy second day hair look, here’s how you get that.

1. Start with clean dry hair. (If your hair is already a little dirty and on it’s second or third day but you really want more texture through the middle and ends, it’s fine, just use a little less in the next step!)
2. Shake some texturizing powder over the top of your hair (or have someone else do it for you if you’re doing a braid in the back). My personal favorites can be found HERE and HERE.
3. Using the base of your thumbs (as you see in the photo), massage the powder into the hair.
4. Gently use your fingers to get more detailed texture.

That’s it! You will find that the powder takes away most of the shine which creates a more “editorial finish” like many of the gorgeous models we pin on our Pinterest boards. Try it and if you don’t love it, just wash it out! Have a wonderful weekend!!

Ouch! Don’t expect a Kanye and Bruno collaboration any time soon. The outspoken rapper publicly dissed the ‘Locked Out of Heaven’ singer for selling out and stealing all the ‘motherf***ing awards’ at the 2013 MTV VMAs.

Kanye West‘s love-hate relationship with the MTV Video Music Awards took over during his Brooklyn, NY show on Nov. 20.

Kanye West Rants About Bruno Mars & VMAs

Has Kanye finally made his peace with the VMAs?
Not quite. Ye gave fans more than just his “genius” music at his Brooklyn show. He treated them to a lengthy rant about his latest beef with the award show, totally focusing on dissing Bruno!
Yeezy revealed that he had a great time at the 2013 VMAs —  until the “Grenade” singer took the stage more than once.
“Bruno Mars won all the motherf**king awards and sh*t!” Kanye told the crowd.
Kanye called Bruno overrated, and accused MTV of “overusing” specific artists to sell their products, which he refuses to do.

Kanye West: MTV Should Have More Respect For Me

Kanye also challenged Bruno’s work ethic, telling the sold-out crowd that he personally worked “work hard as f**k” and when the “streets finally respect you,” so should giant networks.
Yeezy went on to call Bruno the “prettiest motherf***er out,” and insinuated that his star power won’t last much longer. Yikes!
We love how outspoken Kanye is, but what do you think, HollywoodLifers? Did the rapper take it too far this time?  Are you on team Bruno or team Kanye?
