You might have tried powder-based cleansers for your face, but ever tried a shampoo and conditioner in a powder form? Me either – that was until earlier this week – and now I'm (almost) a convert!
I love travelling somewhere for the weekend – whether it's a city break, or just back to see my mum and dad. But packing all the toiletries I need (and don't) can often put you over the weight limit – and that will cost you. But the weight of the travel sized Powder Shampoo and Conditioner were as light as air.
Having tried loads of hair products in the past, I feel like I've become quite the expert – and The Powder Shampoo and The Powder Conditioner are no exception. Buy Now for £19.10 (was £22.50) – save 15%
The travel sized Invigorate & Hydrate Travel Duo are compact, and perfect for the eco-conscious. Designed for those on the go, the set includes two powder-to-foam formulas: the Invigorating Shampoo, which energises the scalp and promotes healthy hair growth with ingredients like Biotin, Bergamot Essential Oil, Ginger, and Ginseng; and the Hydrating Volume Conditioner, a lightweight treatment that adds volume while keeping hair soft and manageable.
Both products are water-free, making them ideal for travel and reducing environmental impact. Packaged in plastic-free, recyclable containers, this duo is suitable for all hair types, especially thinning or ageing hair.
Despite their small size, each product is designed to last multiple washes, making them a practical and sustainable choice for summer holidays, weekend getaways, or anyone looking to simplify their haircare routine without compromising on quality.
I eyeballed the amount I thought I might need as there weren't any directions on the bottle, but adding a little water and creating a mild foam in my hands happened pretty quickly. Once I applied the creation to my head, I was seriously impressed with the lather – I had no idea it would as much as it did! More Trending
I followed The Powder Invigorating Shampoo with The Powder Hydrating Volume Conditioner – and once again, I was pleasantly surprised with the lather it created, but not as much as the shampoo.
Once I dried my hair, as you'll see, there was a healthy amount of volume – and more than I've ever experienced from a high-end product, or one that promises the world. I also loved the subtle shine it gave my hair.
The only criticism I would have been the scent – it just wasn't for me, but that's just personal preference. I'd also like my hair to feel slightly more hydrated, and again, that's nothing that a little finishing serum or oil couldn't fix.
All in all, would I recommend trying The Powder Shampoo and Conditioner products? Absolutely! And I for one will be packing them for the next time I shower at the gym, packing for an overnight stay or trip abroad for sure – purely because they won't count as a liquid, and my hair will have the va-va-volume I'm looking for too!
