Batiste XXL Plumping Powder | Beauty

Batiste XXL Plumping Powder

Today we are having a chat about the small but mighty Batiste XXL Plumping Powder. I'm telling you now guys, if you hair is a bit flat and a bit meh, you're gonna need to try this little pot out. 

I was in Boots having my weekly browse and remembered I needed some dry shampoo so you know wandered to the isle and noticed it was on a buy one get one free across the whole Batiste range when I spotted the XXL Plumping Powder. One thing you need to know about my hair is that it is bloody fine! It's not that I don't have a lot of it, I do, but each strand is very thing so it looks super flat which I have hated more and more recently. I have tried a LOT of shampoos and conditioners claiming to work wonders, it's all crap, they don't work so i just gave up and cracked on with my normal hair regime. That was until I saw this little beauty! I haven't really tried any kind of hair styling powder before but I have definitely heard of it, so I thought I may as well give it a go. 

It's quite odd because it's a very fine powder like a bit of talc, but basically you shake a bit of it into the roots of your hair, give it a little rub, brush and style your hair an your done. Do not go crazy with it at little goes a VERY long way. It's quite odd because it makes your hair super gritty which gives a really nice lift to your hair but if you use a lot I am telling you now you will not be able to run your fingers through it. it gives you a back comb lift without actually having to backcomb your hair. Even waking up the next day, my hair still kinda looks ok which never happens for me. The problem I have now though is that when I don't use the XXL Plumping Powder, my hair looks so meh and boring so I find myself using it more and more. 

Batiste's XXL Plumping Powder really is a bit of a game changer for the people with flat hair, I think you could use it to create some really nice styles but I tend to use it a little more causally giving me a bit of "oomph" if I am going to see a pal, or going out for dinner.

What are you fave products for adding more volume to your hair?


  1. I really want to give this a go but i've never got round to buying it. sounds like a nifty little product! i must admit my hair is pretty thick so adding to it would probably transform me into a lion!!


    1. Haha!! I'd be careful about using this then dear! My hair is super fine and flat so it adds a lovely lift at the roots for me!xx

  2. Argh my hair is the same, really fine (wispy)! Some of my friends have tried plumping powders in the past but it sounds like it's time I give one a go too! :)

    1. Dear you should really give it ago!! I was so impressed when I first tried it!!xx
