That is the entire formula, and it is worth understanding why so little can do so much. Silica silylate is fumed silica whose surface has been chemically capped with trimethylsilyl groups. Two things follow from that. First, it is astonishingly low in density with an enormous surface area, which is how 2 g fills a bottle and why a couple of pumps covers a section. Second, capping the surface makes it hydrophobic — it repels water rather than absorbing it, which is precisely the opposite of what a dry shampoo powder does and the reason this survives humidity and a warm room instead of collapsing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume itself is not a coating effect. The particles deposit between individual strands at the root and dramatically raise the friction between them, so the fibres physically cannot slide back down against each other. The hair stays where you push it. PVP adds a light film-forming polymer on top of that to lock the position. This is a fundamentally different mechanism from a mousse, which stiffens the fibre itself, or a paste, which weighs it into shape — and it is why Maria Nila rates it hold 4 out of 5 while it still feels like almost nothing is on the hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is unscented, which matters more than it sounds. Most styling powders are heavily perfumed to mask a mineral smell, and a root product sits centimetres from your nose all day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Active Ingredient(s)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilica Silylate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fumed silicon dioxide surface-treated with trimethylsilyl groups. The treatment makes the particle hydrophobic and extremely low density, so it builds inter-fibre friction at the root without absorbing water or adding perceptible weight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePVP (Polyvinylpyrrolidone):\u003c\/strong\u003e A water-soluble film-forming polymer that sets a thin, clear film between strands, fixing the lift the silica has created so it holds through the day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eModa Pro Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not pump it straight onto your head and rub. Lift a section, pump once or twice onto your fingertips, and press upward into the root area — press, do not rub. Rubbing drags the powder down the shaft, where it does nothing for lift and can read as dusty, and it flattens the very section you are trying to raise. Pressing deposits the silica exactly at the root junction where the friction has to happen. Work through four or five partings rather than one pass over the top, and you will get lift that lasts rather than a patch of texture in one spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNot the Right Fit If...\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a matte product, and it will visibly flatten shine. If you have just built a glossy, sleek blowout and want to keep the light in it, this is the wrong finish entirely — Maria Nila Styling Cream gives you control with subtle shine instead. It also absorbs no oil, despite being a powder. On genuinely greasy day-three roots it will sit on top of the sebum and go pasty; Maria Nila Cleansing Powder with its rice starch base is the one that actually lifts oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShake the bottle, then lift a section of dry hair and pump once or twice onto your fingertips or directly at the root.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePress the powder upward into the root area rather than rubbing it in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRepeat across four or five partings, then gently shake the hair out from underneath.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Maria Nila","offers":[{"title":"2 g","offer_id":49911827529956,"sku":"MN3870","price":41.2,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0513\/2831\/9677\/files\/powerpowder2productpage1200x1500px.jpg?v=1789819557","url":"https:\/\/www.modasalon.ca\/fr\/products\/maria-nila-power-powder","provider":"Moda Salon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
