How Hairstylists are Using this Groundbreaking Powder-to-Lather Shampoo

You’ve heard of shampoo bars and powders—but not of this caliber. The latest waterless shampoo innovations are not only more efficient, but they offer a deeper cleanse and richer lather than their earlier counterparts.

 

 

1. Here’s how waterless shampoos are more effective than liquids:

2. Here’s why hairstylists are reaching for concentrated formulas:

So many stylists are adding powder shampoos to their backbar because they are more cost efficient. A 2.5 ounce bottle of Small Wonder Signature Shampoo = 50 to 80 washes depending on hair density. “It lathers up so well which means less is more,” says Alexis Kawakami (@alexisdidmyhair) on Instagram. “It’s not diluted with water like a regular shampoo, which means your bottle will last you longer!” 

 

Here’s what else to know about the powder shampoo:

 

  • It gently cleanses, nourishes and restores moisture
  • The SHINE37 complex is cruelty-free, color-safe and free of sulfates and parabens
  • It is water-activated, improving the product’s shelf-life and efficacy 
  • No more mineral-like scents, Signature Shampoo’s fragrance smells like Amalfi Lemons, Cedarwood and Casablanca Lillies
  • The waterless formula’s bottle is travel/TSA-friendly
  • The packaging is designed to prevent water/moisture from getting inside

3. Follow these steps to use powder shampoos on your clients:

The Signature Shampoo can be used on any client for any service that requires a wash. 

 

Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how to use it on your clients:

 

  1. Wet your client’s hair.
  2. Dispense the powder onto wet hands by turning the bottle upside down and squeezing it.
  3. Activate the shampoo by rubbing hands together for 5 to 10 seconds. 
  4. Work into the wet hair to create a rich, luxe lather. For thicker hair, dispense more shampoo as needed.
  5. Rinse and condition as normal.
