How do I use a powder shampoo?

Wet your hair and hands, shake a small amount of powder into your palm, rub to a paste and work it through the scalp. Add water as you go and rinse well.

Is it good for dandruff?

The formula includes salicylic acid, which is used against dandruff and flaking. It is a cosmetic wash, not a medicated treatment, so persistent dandruff needs a dermatologist.

Does it work on color-treated hair?

It is sulfate-free and described as suitable for all hair types, including damaged hair. Color-treated hair generally tolerates sulfate-free cleansers well.

How long does one bottle last?

The brand says one bottle replaces three 400 ml liquid shampoos. Actual mileage depends on hair length and how much powder you use per wash.

Is it really fragrance-free?

The OG version is sold as fragrance-free, so it has no added perfume. The natural ingredients give it a faint, slightly salty smell.

Can I take it on a plane?

It is a dry powder in a small bottle, so it avoids liquid limits in carry-on bags.

About the Canopy Powder-to-Lather Shampoo - OG Fragrance-free - Single

Canopy is a water-activated powder shampoo in a single 113 g (4 oz) bottle. It is plant-based and plastic-free, and the formula is free of sulfates, plastic, parabens, silicones and artificial chemicals. This version has no added fragrance or essential oil.

The formula uses coconut oil, sea salt and cornstarch to cleanse the scalp. Salicylic acid targets dandruff and acne, and the powder also works as a mild scalp scrub. Keratin, collagen, niacinamide and panthenol are included for hair and scalp care. It is suitable for all hair types, including sensitive, damaged or delicate scalps.

To use, wet your hair thoroughly. Pour a teaspoon of powder into your palm, add a few drops of water and massage it into your hair and scalp. Add more drops of water for more lather, and repeat for long hair if needed. Rinse with water. The extra space in the bottle lets you shake and loosen any powder that settled during storage or transport.
