2. A hair powder that acts like wax?

Hair waxes generally help in providing a perfect finish to your hair providing hold for a longer time. It can be used both on dry and wet hair and the process of application is really simple. You just need to distribute a small amount of wax on your hands and apply it with your fingers on your hair. Compared to this, the hair powder by Urban Gabru unlike many other brands provides hold for at least 24 hours. It is also very easy to use.

Well, to be honest, if you are thinking about keeping a hair product on your hair for more than 28 hours you are on the verge of losing your hair. Hair products, even if its natural shouldn’t be kept for more than 16 hours. It is always recommended to wash off your hair before going to bed. Having said so, Urban Gabru Hair Volumizing Powder has a record-breaking 24 hours hold which is considered great, especially in Indian weather. So indeed you just need to style your hair once and you do not need to worry about your going off-style ever again. 

My personal review of Urban Gabru Hair Volumizing Powder

It has been quite a long time since I have been using this hair powder. First of all, I want to be very clear about the packaging. Once you buy it from any online or offline store, you will be shocked about the weight of the product. Don’t be fooled about the fact that the packaging is empty. No, it’s not. The powder is as light as a feather and hence you will not feel the weight either in the packaging or when applied to your hair. Even I was amazed by this fact. 

Well, now coming back to the review, this powder works great if you have thin hair. It provides volume almost instantly when you sprinkle it on your hair. It actually provides a matte finish and the hold is surprisingly great. It lasted for about 11 hours without any problem. Now, if it’s raining outside this could be a problem. This hair powder is not 100% waterproof. It can sustain a little bit of water but once it starts raining heavily, your hairstyle is gone. But yes, the hair powder does not go away somehow. If you dry up your hair again you are good to go with the hold. 

The volumizing and texturizing power is great. The hold is insanely awesome. Overall this is one of the best hair powders that I have found in the Indian markets and is 100% worth the price. When it comes to pricing the price is also far cheaper than most other hair powders.
