Say "Poo Poo" to too Much Shampoo

Last week I was introduced to a new hair product. Of course there are hundreds of new products and when am I not!? Alas, I am a total product junky when it comes to any sort of personal care item. If it's new and amazing I just have to give it a go. I got myself a little powder brush applicator full of Buttercream Cosmetics product Shampowder.

Let me tell you a tiny tale here that is from my personal experience: I have a lot of very fine hair and it's oily.... slick-like even. I also have a dry scalp from over shampooing every day. I've been told by all my hairdressers and friends that I shouldn't wash my hair everyday, but after a day it looks like I was one of the unwashed masses back in days of yore. So when I didn't shampoo, I'd pull and pin my hair up so you wouldn't really notice the flat oiliness on the hairline and crown. I want to save my hair from split ends, or when I do go get it styled and blown out, I can enjoy it for a few days.

When Jayne Polan, from Buttercream Cosmetics, came in and showed me Shampowder, I HAD to give it a whirl. A miracle product that would let me not shampoo all the time and let my hair still look great!? I have to see this for myself. I bought the dark (there are two colors light and dark) because I have brownish red hair and tried it out. All I did was wake up, dab it into my hairline where I get oily, and here I am four days later I haven't washed my hair. Okay so did I merely resist the urge to wash? Nope, my hair looks like I had washed it just this morning. I'm wearing it down with a bouncy bed-tossed curl to it.

I have to say, it is as amazing as it claims to be. I even bought two more, one in each color, to use when I do studio-styling on set.

What is this stuff, you ask? Basically, it's like powdered shampoo in the perfectly designed applicator that fantastic for those on the go. It places just the right amount of powder to absorb the oil without the ghostly cast babypowder does because it has a light pigment that doesn't show up coloring your scalp. Not only that but it has a mild but yummy vanilla and completely affordable at $15.99. This product lets us say "Poo Poo" to too much Shampoo!
