The $12 Lifting Powder That Lets Me Retire My Blow-Dryer When it comes to hair, it's pretty much a given that we strive for the opposite of whatever we're born with. Curly-haired gals tend to be all 'bout those Brazilian blowouts, while those with pin-straight manes have probably considered reaching for a Bump-It at least once in a desperate attempt to add life to limp strands.
I fall into the latter camp, having slippery-straight hair that falls flat when left to air dry. Getting highlights definitely added some much-needed texture, but I still have to reach for a blow-dryer on the daily to gain volume. Or at least, I had to until I discovered Umberto Beverly Hills Lifting Powder, $11.99.
A tiny sprinkling of this root-boosting powder adds instant height to my dry hair. And the best part is that I get to swap damaging heat tools for my hands, since the application process requires only fingertips. Another bonus? The product also absorbs oil, so my day-two, normally greasy and weighed-down hair is still pleasantly plump.
All in all, this time-saving multi-tasker lets me fake the glamorous, full hair I failed to inherit, making it as much a booster to my mood as it is to my roots. --Rose Curiel
