Powdering: “The act of reducing to powder, the act of sprinkling with powder, the powder applied by sprinkling.” [12] However, the light, powdery hair volumizing powder still boasts many impressive capabilities. “Unlike a dry shampoo, the volume it provides lasts all day — you’d need to literally wash this product out to not feel it in your hair anymore,” notes Yates. Unfortunately, despite this claim, it seems that that origination of hair powder did not involve ballad singers. Earlier reports note that Marguerite de Navarre, who was born in France’s commune of Angoulême on 11 April 1492 and who married Henry II of Navarre, wore hair powder in the 1500s. Another claim about hair powder and its popularity seems to also refute the idea that French ballad singers popularized hair powder: Among those who did this was Dr. Johnson. He had double doors off his parlor that led to his powder closet where he stored his wigs and where he powdered his hair. Another powder closet was found in a guest room at the Ladies of Llangollen’s Plas Newydd home. Their closet was extremely tiny and required the person being powdered to be seated on a chair inside the closet while the hairdresser stood outside and powdered the person through a large circular hole in the door. A third powder closet was anything but small. It was stated to be an “unusually large closet, having a window that overlooks the garden,” [14] and it was found in the Robert “King” Hooper Mansion in Marblehead, Massachusetts on the second floor off the bedchamber.

Powder-bag: This term was used in a 1789 document in the following manner. “Unfortunately the hair-dresser’s wife had applied a cast-off powder-bag of her husband’s to the use of holding flower for her puddings and pies.” [8] Powder-blower or powder machine: “An instrument for blowing powder into the hair” [9] was the definition give in the 1830s, but twenty-first century Professor John Barrell described it more thoroughly: “This was a conical instrument about a foot long, made of silk or soft leather and strong wires: it was something between a concertina and a balloon-pump, but with a fine sieve at the business end to scatter the powder in ‘a regular smoke.’” [10] Detail showing hair powder being applied from “Making-decent; -i.e.- broad-bottomites getting into the grand costume,” by James Gillray in 1806.

The towering hairstyles that women wore were created using a thin metal frame and a cushion or toque as a support. False hair pieces were intertwined with a woman’s real hair and the combination was curled, waved, or frizzed. It was piled high on the head and once the style was finished, the hair was powdered before decorations were added. Of this fashion Mary Frampton, an English diarist and botanist, provided a description in her journal in 1780: Hairdressers curling one person and using hair powder on another. By Charles Catton in 1780s. Public domain.Among those who embraced wigs and hair powder in the eighteenth century were English and French upper classes, middle classes, and royalty. For example, you could find everyone at the French court wearing powdered hair. This included Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette along with the Queen’s friend and Superintendent of her household, the Princesse de Lamballe, the famous Marquis de Lafayette, and Louis XV’s mistress, Madame du Barry. L’Etoile … relates that in the year one thousand five hundred and ninety-three, the Nuns walked the streets of Paris curled and powdered; from that time the custom of powdering has become so common, that in most places of Europe, but especially in France, it is used by both sexes, and by people of all ages, ranks, and conditions.” [2] For a more defined texture, apply the powder to your palms, and work it into your hair to create the style you want.

Americans similarly embraced the fad. Although no royalty roamed the streets, upper class and middle class people were all powdered. This was mentioned in The American Monthly Magazine related to dress and hair fashions in 1792: This print by James Gillray shows the wig being applied and is titled “Progress of the Toilet. – The Wig. – Plate 2.” Courtesy of the British Museum.

Wherever your taste lies, you should find a hair texture powder that'll give you just the right amount of volume. One of the benefits of hair powders is that most of the current formulas on the market are buildable, so you can customize your look with just one product. Your Hair Color M. Frampton and H.G.F.
