I love how easy my hair is to style when it's "dirty." The natural oils that are released into your hair the day after you wash it can actually give it more volume and manageability. If you're like me and your hair tends to feel extra oily unless it's washed daily, hair powders are a great solution because they prolong your blowout, reduce damage done to your hair from daily heat styling, help you save money with less blowouts, help the planet by shampooing less and best of all save you time from washing and styling everyday!

What I love about using dry shampoos is the fact that I can have the volume I crave, without that heavy, weighed down feeling that normally accompanies unwashed hair.  What I don't love about most hair powders, is that they are either stark white and don't blend in with my dark locks, or a shade that is close enough to my hair color but doesn't quite blend in. Along with my worries of having completely mismatched salt and pepper hair, many people are becoming more concerned about what ingredients are actually going into these hair powders and just how safe they are for our strands.

I hadn't been able to find a powder that works with my dark hair until I tried The All Nighter Styling Powder. It's an oil absorbing hair powder that is made with silk powder to leave your hair feeling luxuriously softer than other powders I've tried. The creator Tony Artur had been selling various dry shampoos and styling powders at his boutique and site A Beautiful Life, and all of the concerns that his customers had provoked him to create a styling powder that addressed those issues.

I'm loving it because there are no parabens, aluminum, silica or talc and among the six color options, I was able to find something that works in my hair. The All Nighter Styling Powder comes in these shades: Platinum/Neutral, Dark Brown/Black, Honey Blonde, Brown/Brunette, Golden Blonde and Redheads.

With all these realistic color options, how can you go wrong? And don't forget, hair powder isn't just for the ladies - men can use it too!
