Dry shampoo, shampoo bars, clarifying shampoo, leave-in conditioner, numerous serums…surely there’s no need for another product?
Well, that’s where you’re wrong, enter powdered shampoo!
Powdered shampoo is the latest tool to add to your eco-friendly haircare tool kit. The shampoo comes in a powder form, which you just need to add water to, and then lather up as usual. These shampoos work via surfactants, which are compounds that help lift dirt, oil, and impurities from the hair and scalp. Powdered shampoo is kinder to the environment, as most standard liquid shampoo uses around 80% water in their formulations. This means less plastic, and more product for your money. Powdered shampoo also has a longer shelf life and is less prone to bacterial growth compared to liquid products. With powdered shampoo, you can also customise product usage depending on your hair length, type and lifestyle.
Many powdered shampoos also contain active ingredients and nutrients for both your hair and scalp, as well as using natural ingredients to contribute to the scent of the product, rather than using artificial fragrances.
As with other haircare products, be mindful of harmful and unnatural ingredients such as sulfates, silicones, parabens, phthalates and synthetic fragrances. These ingredients can cause scalp irritation, hormonal disruption and even hair loss.
