Michael Dueñas, Schwarzkopf Professional Brand Ambassador, calls OSiS+ Session Label Dust It Flex, $25, "back-combing in a bottle." He says texture powders absorb oil at the roots, while giving strands a slightly gritty, lived-in feel. They're great for locking in updos and giving hair volume without weighing it down. This one's made with lava rock and silica, and a little goes a long way -- just tap it onto your roots and rub it in with your fingertips.

My ponytail was left looking tousled with tons of volume, instead of hanging limply against my scalp like it normally does. Just don't expect to be running your fingers through your hair -- at all.

L'Oréal Professionnel True Grip Texturizing Powder, available in salons, is superversatile. It creates just the right amount of hold for updos, adds edgy oomph when applied at the roots, gives hair Dallas-esque volume (in a good way) when you flip your hair over and apply it to the roots underneath and gives hair piece-y texture when applied only to the ends. Consider all your fine hair complaints solved.

According to celebrity hairstylist Mika Fowler, the day after your last shampoo is actually your best hair day. Fake that look with Bumble and Bumble Pret-a-Powder, $27, a hardworking volumizing dry shampoo hybrid.

You sprinkle it over your hair, and then rub it in like you're using a traditional shampoo (thus eliminating the possibility of noticeable powder specks). Unlike the other texture powders, it won't make your hair sticky (I could run my fingers from roots to ends without them getting stuck). Plus, it soaks up oil just as well as your favorite dry shampoo.

If you're the kind of person who can't stand going a day without washing, Pravana Nevo Lived-In Powder Potion, $20, will help you fake the day-after look.

One word of warning: Do not apply this product directly to your hair. Sprinkle it onto your hands and rub them together until it morphs into a slightly tacky pomade. Rub this completely biodegradeable, vegan and environmentally friendly styling product into your roots for volume, or use a tiny bit on your ends to get a separated, piece-y look.

Want big hair without the gritty texture of many volumizing powders? Verb Dry Shampoo, $14, is your hair savior. This squeeze-on powder uses a blend of tapioca starch to soak up oil and glycerin to make hair feel silky soft. Use your fingers to really rub it into your roots to unlock its magical volumizing powers.
