Before liquid shampoo, hair was freshened with various crushed herbs. And in the 400 years since powdered wigs were the fashion (and the powder room was invented), powders have been consistently hairborne.

But this one leaves the best in the dust – a must-have for the modern wash-and-wear hair wardrobe. While ensuring oil-freedom, the sheer genius of this translucent powder instantly creates Bardot-worthy body (tease no more), extends the life of a hard-won hairstyle, beefs up braids, and helps updos hold up. Microfine granules of vegetable and mineral matter are invisible to the eye, silky in hand, and the nose? Smells sublime. So powder on!
