Revolutionize Your Travel Routine: Discover Waterless Dry Shampoo and Conditioner!

One indispensable item in my life is dry shampoo and conditioner. Whether I’m on an extensive flight, in a water-scarce area, or simply too engaged, this product is a lifesaver.

More than just being handy, dry shampoo and conditioner solve a major hair issue for me: oily and flat hair.

My hair is quite fine, and daily shampooing makes it look lifeless, but skipping a wash for over a day makes it greasy and heavy.

Definitely not a great look!

For my hair type, dry shampoo and conditioners are phenomenal because they cleanse my roots and moisturize the dry ends. As I mentioned, it’s truly like magic in a bottle!

I’m thrilled to share a new product with you—a dry shampoo + conditioner from Waterl<ss, a company from Cape Town dedicated to revolutionizing water use.

Initially, my attraction to dry shampoo + conditioners was purely for aesthetic reasons, but there’s a more compelling reason to use these alternatives: conserving water. Since my time in Cape Town, I’ve felt the impact of water scarcity directly (more on this later).

Waterl<ss provides an essential, travel-friendly solution allowing you to refresh your hair without using precious water. Yes, please!

About Waterl<ss

Waterl<ss is more than just a convenient solution for beauty care. Previously, I viewed dry shampoo merely as a useful product to keep my hair manageable and attractive. However, living through a drought in Cape Town has entirely shifted my perspective.

Before relocating to South Africa, I never realized how privileged I was to have clean water readily available from my tap.

After moving to Cape Town three years ago, I experienced the harsh realities of the drought. My new home was nearly the first major city to completely run out of water.

It was frightening, yet incredibly enlightening as I learned about community impact and how small changes can make a big difference.

I observed the unity of Cape Town’s residents and learned the value of community and water. It was shocking to realize how much water I had been wasting. I began timing my showers and reusing grey water for flushing toilets.

I remember the anxiety of buying bulk drinking water in preparation for the potential “day zero.” Every water service and warehouse was out of stock.

It was an alarming experience.

Living through such a crisis makes you appreciate every drop of water.

Thankfully, Cape Town never completely ran out of water, but it was a significant wake-up call for many globally. From shorter showers to choosing drought-resistant plants, the drought taught us many valuable lessons, including the benefits of dry shampoo!

Waterl<ss was created as a response to the Cape Town drought, making it a brand very close to my heart.

Waterl<ss Products

Don’t settle for just any dry shampoo! Waterl<ss offers a comprehensive range of products to clean, condition, style, and keep your hair fresh.

Dry Shampoo

For a quick cleanse, Waterl<ss provides two types of dry shampoo: Dry Shampoo No Residue and Dry Shampoo Foam.

I prefer the Dry Shampoo No Residue spray for my hair type. It effectively absorbs oil and adds volume. If you have thicker or curly hair, the foam might be a better option.

Fragrance Mist

Dry Conditioner

Among all the products from Waterl<ss, the dry conditioners are my favorite and work best for me.

The dry conditioner is incredibly effective and comes in three variants suited to different hair types: Dry Conditioner Weightless Smooth, Dry Conditioner Instant Moisture, and Hair Styling Balm Condition & Style.

For someone with fine hair like mine, the Dry Conditioner Weightless Smooth is perfect. It smells wonderful, like candy but not overly sweet.

Re-Style & Refresh

The Re-Style & Refresh line includes products like the Curl Milk Refresh & Redefine and the Heat Shield Protect & Re-Style. These are fantastic because they protect against heat damage up to 450 degrees and are free from parabens, sulfates, and alcohol.

Prep For Your Next Trip

As a meticulous packer, I don’t just throw anything into my suitcase.

Products like Waterl<ss that substitute a shower when you can’t access water are invaluable.

It’s crucial to carefully choose which beauty products to pack and what to carry on the plane. Waterl<ss is designed with travelers in mind and offers various product sizes.

You can opt for larger bottles for extended trips or smaller ones for your carry-on.

In the US, you can find Waterl<ss products at Target, Walmart, Sally Beauty, and CVS. Before your next trip, check out my detailed guides on packing for all kinds of journeys, from tropical vacations to cold-weather adventures.
