Dust It is for hair that needs volume and grip, especially fine and medium hair densities, which Schwarzkopf names as its sweet spot. It's also useful for updos, braids and buns that slide out, or for pins that won't stay put.

It's used on dry hair with the fingers, so there's no blow-dry or special technique involved.

Dust It works right away on dry hair: shake a little into the roots, work it in with your fingertips and you get lift, grip and a matte texture on the spot. That makes it just as useful for quick touch-ups and updo prep as for building volume into a finished style.

• Shake the container gently before use.
• Apply to dry hair and work it in with your fingers.
• Apply to the roots for lift, or to the lengths for more volume.
• Use it for extra grip in braids and buns, or to help pins stay in place.

Dust It gives instant lift and grip the moment it touches dry hair, with no drying time and no shine. It's also a handy helper for updos, adding texture so braids, buns and pins hold better.

Being a powder, it takes a light hand: too much can feel gritty and hard to distribute on longer hair. At 10 g it's small, and it's aimed at fine to medium hair rather than very thick hair.
