Lately I’ve been on a hair-styling kick. I’ve pretty much always been a wash-and-go kind of girl, resigning myself to having unruly, frizzy waves. At thirty-three, I’ve decided I’m finally enough of a grown-up to blow dry my hair and attempt to style it each day. So when BzzAgent offered me the chance to review a new volumizing styling powder from göt2b, I was pretty excited.

The best way to tell you about the volumizing powder is to show you. A few weeks ago Paul and I headed out for an early evening date. I was in charge of the kiddos right until the time we needed to leave for our date, so I didn’t have much time to get ready.  Here’s what my hair looked like originally:

Boring, flat hair
My hair, pretty much just brushed. I straightened the wispy, fly-away tendrils in the front of my hair earlier that day.

And here’s what it looked like after I sprinkled some styling powder in my hands and rubbed it through my hair:

prettier, more voluminous hair
Yay! After a quick application of POWDER’ful, I’m feeling much more charitable towards my hair.

And then I clipped part of my hair back:

the finished hairstyle
And here’s the finished style, with a nice bit of volume. Faster than back-combing or hot rollers!

I was pretty happy with this super-quick fix. The volumizing powder gave my hair a great date-night look in just a few seconds, much faster than if I had tried to pull it into an up-do or  back-comb it for more volume.

I’ve found myself reaching for göt2b POWDER’ful much more often than I thought I would. I like using it on my second- or third-day hair (second or third day after washing) to freshen up my look. The texture of my hair changes enough after I use the powder that I feel ready for a shampoo, but usually I need to wash my hair by that point anyway.

The only down-side of the volumizing powder for me is that it doesn’t last all day. Maybe it’s the crazy Tennessee humidity, but after two or three hours my hair has fallen a bit flat again. However, göt2b POWDER’ful earns a few extra points with me for having a fantastic score on the Cosmetic Safety Database. I’m happy to find a new product made from non-hazardous ingredients.

And now the part for which you have been waiting — the giveaway! göt2b and BzzAgent sent me two extra containers of göt2b POWDER’ful Volumizing Styling Powder to give to two lucky readers!
