Great shampoo
Review by CHRISTEL D. on 16 Oct 2023 review stating Great shampoo
What a great idea to make it a powder and not waste bottles, easy to adjust to more or less depending on what you need, lathers to a really nice rich foam, cleans hair gently without tripping it, and leaves hair super soft and pliable, this is a winner :)

Scent is divine
Review by Kaitlyn P. on 29 Dec 2022 review stating Scent is divine
I love the scent of this shampoo! I initially received a sample with another order and loved it so much I came back for more. I’ve used the other Shampoo Powder before, too, and prefer the muskier scent of the Vetiver personally.

Scalp Cleanse and Aromatherapy all in one!
Review by Melissa D. on 19 Dec 2022 review stating Scalp Cleanse and Aromatherapy all in one!
This is so good to use once a week. It has some suds but relatively low. I really love all their hair products. They do not dry your scalp and are gentle. They leave your hair super soft and clean and when you are using them you get a little aromatherapy treatment!

Powder Perfect
Review by Kia B. on 11 Jun 2022 review stating Powder Perfect
Wowza this is my JAM! It’s simple, effective, smells great, and makes so much more sense. My scalp gets clean and my strands are left bouncy and soft. I only have to wash with about the amount of a two (thin) quarters and it works well for my shoulder length hair. I have found that while pouring it out on my palm, a thin layer works better than a little pile - I can suds it up without it just sticking to my hand. This is by far the best eco friendly washing method I’ve found!! I follow up with a small amount acid base throughout my hair & occasionally spritz some of the salt spray for a little extra oomph. I am a forever F&TM devotee!!

Like it so far - need to use more than recommended
Review by Kristina T. on 19 Jan 2022 review stating Like it so far - need to use more than recommended
I have only used this twice now but so far I really like it. My hair feels clean afterward. I do have to use more than recommended to get my whole scalp clean, so I am interested to see how long it lasts. (You can see a little bit of what I have used so far in the photo.) I do have a large volume of hair and this problem with needing a lot of shampoo is not unique to this product. I have found ¼ teaspoon for each section of my scalp (top, middle, bottom) to work well.

Magic Shampoo Powder
Review by Kathleen M. on 31 Oct 2021 review stating Magic Shampoo Powder
I tried the Balance Shampoo Powder as a sample add-on earlier this year and fell in love with the scent. Now that I have a whole bottle, I use about a cap full of the powder and mix it with a tiny bit of water in one of my Japanese tea cups. It lathers up beautifully once you rub it between your hands a bit, and the ritual of putting it in a pretty cup makes the whole experience even better.

You remind me of the babe… the babe with the POWER
Review by R C. on 30 Aug 2021 review stating You remind me of the babe… the babe with the POWER
I just finished my first bottle of this and ordered two more… and man, my fickle scalp willing, this is the only shampoo I ever want to use again. I tap a little into a tiny pinch pot (check Etsy if you’d like one!) mix with a few drops of water (less than you’d think), then massage exclusively into my roots. I follow it with the FaTM conditioner bar from about the middle of my hair length down, focusing on the ends, and my straight, fine, long Asian hair stays clean and happy for several days. Even though I use a bit more than the recommendation per washing, being able to space it out so much still makes the amount in the bottle last longer than anything else I’ve used, and giving the powder formula a little shake means that every application has a consistent ratio of ingredients (as opposed to liquid or solid shampoo, which I always find gets more concentrated in detergents when you’re nearing the end of the bottle/bar). In short, my goblin friends, this stuff is magic.

a gentle cleanse
Review by Juliette T. on 26 Apr 2021 review stating a gentle cleanse
I adore the smell of ylang ylang and the non stripping nature of the product. I wanted a nice cleanse for my hair/scalp without my hair feeling too squeaky and this is doing the trick. I'm pairing it with the conditioner bar and it's making for a pleasant ritual.

Shampoo what?? Shampoo powder is an alternative to liquid shampoo- you pour a small amount in your hand, mix with water, and voila! This small bottle holds approx. 48 washes worth of shampoo

There is a practical beauty to those who do everything with one thing. You know that auntie with her trusty spray bottle of ACV that keeps her countertops sparkling, her garden weeds at bay and her hair and sunglasses shiny? Or your vegan best bud whose use of miso in everything breaks the mind? And, btw, YES miso in vegan brownies. FM Shampoo Powder is the ACV and miso of bod potions. Shampoo Powder offers skin balancing, gentle cleansing, and high vibration to the whole bod sans water. ⁣ ⁣ Shake a sprinkle into your hand and add a little water. Rub between your palms to get it foaming, then massage into the important places.⁣ ⁣ 📸 lather screen capture from the incredible @hayflux ⁣

This is the best shampoo
Review by Luisa M. on 13 Nov 2020 review stating This is the best shampoo
This is the best shampoo I have ever tried. I have very long and thick hair, and it usually becomes very disheveled the moment I apply shampoo, but this product does not dry it out and makes it soft and smooth. I can immediately run my fingers through my hair once I have applied a generous amount of the product. It is a very gentle shampoo, but cleans my hair very well (I only wash it once a week). The smell is a bit too spicy for me, but it does not bother me as the effect on my hair is so good. I would love a shampoo powder like this with a different smell (something like menthol, sage, rosemary, mint).

It’s officially happening. Our potent, plant powered Shampoo Powders are now available on our website! ⁣ ⁣ “What the heck is Shampoo Powder?,” you say. Well, it’s all the scalp balancing, gentle cleansing, and high vibration you’d expect from a Fat and the Moon shampoo, just without the water! That’s the part YOU get to add! No water means a more concentrated potion, which translates to less packaging, my conscious humans. ⁣ ⁣ Balance is the Libra of Shampoo Powders: Argan oil, Irish moss and notes of Vetiver promoting an equanimous co-arrisle of a happy scalp and luscious locks. ⁣ ⁣ Stimulate is like the Aries of Shampoo Powders: Rosemary and Peppermint essential oil spark the action and incite circulation while kelp powder feeds the hair and builds the bod. ⁣ ⁣ 📸 by the beautiful @hayflux
