VOLUME POWDER VS. CLASSIC WAX. WHAT DO THE EXPERTS THINK?

For years, hair wax has been the star product in the world of men's hairstyling. It offers strong hold, control, and is ideal for creating structured styles. However, a new contender has emerged in barbershops: volume powder. This innovative product has quickly gained popularity, and more and more men are opting for this lighter, more versatile alternative.

In this post, the experts at Beardburys, the leading brand in barbershop products, tell us why volume powder is overtaking traditional waxing. If you're wondering if you should switch from wax to volume powder, read on to discover the benefits.

WHY HAS WAX BEEN SO POPULAR FOR SO LONG?

Hair wax has been a staple in men's styling routines for its ability to provide strong hold and flexible texture. This makes it an ideal choice for well-defined and structured looks, especially for those looking for a finish with control and durability. However, it's not all advantages. Although waxes from brands such as Beardburys are highly effective, they have some drawbacks that have led men to explore other alternatives:

Stiff feel: Many waxes can leave hair with a somewhat stiff texture, which is not always desired.
Product build-up: Wax can sometimes feel heavy on the hair, affecting volume and making the style less dynamic.

These issues have generated the need for a product that offers the benefits of wax, but with a lighter, more natural feel. This is where volume powder comes in.

WHAT MAKES BULK POWDER THE NEW PREFERRED CHOICE?

Styling powder, also known as volume powder, has positioned itself as a favorite product for those looking for a hairstyle with texture and volume while maintaining a natural, loose finish. And with a greater popularity of more casual and casual hairstyles, it is normal to see this product gaining momentum and becoming so popular with both barbers and men.

To better understand this trend shift, we spoke with Juan José Cabero, CEO of Beardburys, who has seen firsthand how men are switching from traditional waxing to styling powder:

“In my experience observing the barbering and men's grooming sector, I've noticed that more and more men are making the switch from wax to styling powder for one simple reason: it's more versatile and comfortable to use. A casual, natural look is increasingly in demand, and powder makes it easy to achieve that result with just a few applications. In addition, Beardburys Hover Volumizing Powder has a unique applicator on the market, which doesn't waste any product and is easy to carry.”

The simplicity and effectiveness of the powder make it a much more accessible product for everyday use. Unlike waxing, which requires some technique to apply properly without overloading the hair, the volume powder is quick and easy, ideal for men looking for a natural look with minimal effort.

SHOULD YOU SWITCH FROM WAX TO HOVER POWDER?

If you're still in doubt about whether volume powder is right for you, consider the following questions:

Are you looking for a more natural, matte finish?
Do you want to give your hairstyle more volume without adding extra weight?
Do you prefer a product that is easy to apply and wash out, perfect for everyday use?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, volume powder may be the best option for you. Not only does it offer you the versatility of natural and casual styles, but it's also perfect for maintaining volume and texture effortlessly.

In the end, both wax and powder have their place in barbershops and men's hairstyling routines. But if you're looking for a more natural, full-bodied look, volume powder is the trend that's leading the way - don't hesitate to give it a try!
