5 Benefits of Men's Hair Powder

5 Benefits of Men's Hair Powder

Spring is coming, which means warmer weather, sunshine, and the chance to get outdoors. It's also the perfect time for a style edit, including refreshing your hair styling techniques.

The warmer months are a perfect time to embrace more relaxed looks, especially on your days off when you don't need to project professionalism. Or maybe you have travel plans coming up and want to look stylish without carrying a million products in your luggage. Styling Hair Powder can help you achieve that cool but casual look. 

This volumizing product is a one-step solution for men who want manageable, great-looking hair. The powder, filled with nourishing organic ingredients, makes hair look thick and full while giving your style an all-day hold.

 

Five Benefits of Men's Hair Powder

No matter what your hair goals are, hair powder can help. Hair styling powder gives you style benefits, while the natural ingredients ensure it's a healthy choice for your hair and scalp.

 

1. Adds Volume

First and foremost, hair powder is a product formulated to boost volume. The lightweight powder creates the impression of space between individual hair strands without caking or leaving a dusty cast. The silica-based powder creates friction and separates strands, making hair look thicker and fuller. Brickell's men's hair powder also lifts hair at the root, moving it away from the scalp to give it an instant volume boost. 

Hair powder is a perfect solution for hair that tends to look limp or go flat throughout the day. You can use it all over your head to increase overall volume or add it to targeted areas to add fullness right where you want it. The added volume from hair powder can disguise a wide part or spots where your hair is thinning. 

You can also easily reactivate the effects of hair powder without adding more product. Simply tousle the hair near the roots with your fingers to re-style and restore the volume you want.

 

2. Styles Without Any Mess

Hair powder is silky and loose, with no sticky residue. It comes in a canister with a shaker lid, so you can easily dispense the perfect amount into your hand. 

It cleanly transfers from your hand to your hair without clinging to your skin like gels or pastes. Once you're done styling, brush any remaining powder off your hands or rinse it off with water. There is no need to scrub off any globs of product left behind in your hand or on your bathroom counter. 

Hair powder is also easy to remove. Our water-soluble formula for men contains no silicones, so it rinses cleanly from hair in the shower without a sulfate-based shampoo or heavy scrubbing. 

The powder also won't get gooey during workouts, so you don't have to worry about a half-melted product that redistributes unevenly through your hair as you exercise. Because it's water-soluble, it won't get sticky or clumpy when your hair gets wet. Let your hair dry, add fresh powder, re-style it, and go!

 

3. Provides a Natural Looking Matte Finish

The ingredients in products like gels and waxes start as a semi-liquid texture before drying in your hair to hold your style in place. These ingredients are great at doing their job, but like many liquid-based products, they reflect light. The silicones and waxes in those products will always leave a slight sheen on your hair. The more product you use, the more polished look you might notice. 

Our men's styling hair powder is an alternative for when you don't want that glossy, finished vibe. The powder is mattifying without making hair look powdered or dry. It gives your hair moderate hold and volume without the slick shine of a gel finish. Your hair will look finished without looking overdone.

 

4. Works For All Hair Types

Hair powder is appropriate for all hair types. The formula is light enough that it won't weigh down fine hair but rich enough to provide a reliable hold on thicker hair types. Simply adjust the amount of product you use based on the length and thickness of your hair. Hair powder will add volume and hold from root to tip. 

Our silicone-free hair powder is water-soluble, perfect for curls, waves, or coils that respond better without daily shampooing. The powder won't coat curls with heavy waxes or mineral oils. You'll see your desired style and hold without dragging down your natural texture. The rich plant-based oils in the formula won't dry your hair or scalp.

 

5. Strengthens Roots 

Thanks to our commitment to high-quality men's hair powder ingredients, this styling product is good for your hair, not just your style. Like all of our products, Styling Hair Powder is filled with ingredients from the earth that strengthen hair and make it look better the more you use them. 

Our hair powder contains rice bran oil and rosehip, which nourish the roots of your hair. We combined it with Olea Europaea (olive) fruit oil for added moisturizing benefits to the hair and scalp. These natural emollients prevent dryness and breakage without weighing hair down or leaving your scalp greasy. 

Brickell promises that our products never contain petrochemicals, sulfates, parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrances or colors, silicones, or PEGs (polyethylene glycols). Our natural ingredients are gentle on hair, never tested on animals, and 100% vegan.

Styling Hair Powder has you covered, no matter your hair type or style goals. Use it alone or in combination with our shampoo, conditioner, and natural, gentle styling products to achieve the look you want — and healthier hair.

FAQ

How to use men's hair powder?

Hair powder is meant for use on dry hair, so make sure you dry it thoroughly before applying. To start, sprinkle a little bit of the powder into your hand and rake it through the areas you want to style, making sure to distribute it evenly. Let it sit on your hair for a few minutes to absorb fully. 

Once the powder has been absorbed, style your hair as usual. Use your fingers or a brush to arrange hair into the look you want, and count on the powder to hold it in place. To refresh your style during the day, massage your hair with your fingertips to reactivate the powder.

 

Is men's hair powder good for thinning hair?

Hair powder is a volumizing product that can restore a fuller look to thinning hair. Its formula creates lift and separation between hair strands, giving the appearance of volume. You can use it all over to make your whole head of hair look thick and full, or you can apply powder just where you need a volume boost. 

Brickell's hair powder is excellent for adding volume on top, disguising a wide part, or filling in a receding hairline. The gentle formula gives a natural-looking styling hold, so you can use it selectively without worrying that some sections of your hair will look more product-y than others. 

 

How is hair powder different from pomade or gel?

The key to understanding when to use men's hair powder vs. pomade or men's hair powder vs. hair gel is to know what style effect you're going for. 

Hair powder is a lightweight product with moderate hold and a natural finish. We recommend it when you want your hair to look casual but still feel polished and styled with extra volume. Hair powder will give you movement and fullness without slickness or shine. 

If you want a matte or low-shine, high-hold finish on your hair, try a pomade. Pomades are wax- or clay-based styling products that help you sculpt your hair for a sophisticated, finished look. You can use pomades to make your hair lay flatter and prevent flyaways. 

Hair gel is a staple product for wash-and-go styles. Apply gel to wet hair for instant hold and control with a high-shine finish. The gel can help lock in style to resist the frizzing effects of humidity. The glossy finish gives hair a sleek look for nights out.  

The best news about all these products is that you can use them separately or together. 

  • Start your routine with Brickell's shampoo and conditioner, then dry your hair thoroughly. 
  • Apply hair powder to increase volume, then lock in the finished look with gel or pomade. 
  • Experiment with different combinations to find what works best for your hair. 

All of Brickell's haircare products are made with natural hair health ingredients that will give you the style you want while strengthening your hair.
