Among those who did this was Dr. Johnson. He had double doors off his parlor that led to his powder closet where he stored his wigs and where he powdered his hair. Another powder closet was found in a guest room at the Ladies of Llangollen’s Plas Newydd home. Their closet was extremely tiny and required the person being powdered to be seated on a chair inside the closet while the hairdresser stood outside and powdered the person through a large circular hole in the door. A third powder closet was anything but small. It was stated to be an “unusually large closet, having a window that overlooks the garden,” [14] and it was found in the Robert “King” Hooper Mansion in Marblehead, Massachusetts on the second floor off the bedchamber. Beginning in 1795, those who used hair powder in England had to buy a certificate from the local Justice of the Peace after Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger decided to impose an annual tax on hair powder. The tax was one guinea and assessed “on all persons who should in the future wear hair powder.” [17] The law essentially stated:

Are you looking for a light lift, or do you prefer a lion's mane fullness? Wherever your taste lies, you should find a hair texture powder that'll give you just the right amount of volume. One of the benefits of hair powders is that most of the current formulas on the market are buildable, so you can customize your look with just one product.

For a more defined texture, apply the powder to your palms, and work it into your hair to create the style you want.

And most importantly, our powder helps your style and individuality to remain unique. Powderbox: Dr. Samuel Johnson defined it in his dictionary as, “A box in which powder for the hair is kept.” [11] France had long served as the fashion leader for Europe and like the English and Americans, wigs tended to be associated with royalty and the upper classes in France. To avoid the guillotine and to blend in with revolutionaries, nobility and upper classes began to abandon their wigs for simpler more natural hairstyles. Thus, once Frenchmen began to give up their wigs and hair powder, it was just a matter of time before other European countries followed suit. Shows a man inspecting his hair powder license.

Top tip: the powder can also be used once hair is styled to fix it in place for a long lasting natural looking hold. When you are ready for a change, just wash your hair and you can start again.

J. Ash, The New and Complete Dictionary of the English Language v. 2 (London: Edward and Charles Dilly in the Poultry; and R. Baldwin in Pater-Noster Row, 1775) However, the light, powdery hair volumizing powder still boasts many impressive capabilities. “Unlike a dry shampoo, the volume it provides lasts all day — you’d need to literally wash this product out to not feel it in your hair anymore,” notes Yates. Use the tips of your fingers to apply our Hair Powder rather than your palms; this will help you create a more natural look and let you build more volume.’’ - Sam Bentham, Creative Director. To add more shape and volume, apply the powder directly to your hair first, then work it or mess it up to look sharp. You can rework the powder as the day goes on or apply more to add more structure.

In England, during George II’s time there were numerous public statutes passed about hair powder to prevent fraud, including excise fraud. One publication in 1737 provided a section called “Starch and Hair-powder” that included all the statutes, with one of these stating: If any maker of hair-powder, or dealer in hair-powder, shall mix any powder of alabaster, plaister of Paris, or other materials (rice made into starch, and sweet scents excepted) with any starch or powder for hair-power, and shall make any hair-powder with any other materials, and sue use, or offer to fell any hair-powder so mixed, he shall forfeit all the hair-powder so mixed, and 20 l.” [15]
