About this episode

LeAura Luciano interviews SWAIR co-founders Carrie Sporer and Meredith Krill about their innovative Showerless Shampoo and its impact on active women's haircare routines.

If you’ve ever skipped a workout because of your hair, this episode is for you. I’m chatting with SWAIR co-founders Carrie Sporer and Meredith Krill about how marathon training, Equinox classes, and years of ducking out early for the showers led them to invent Showerless Shampoo—a non-aerosol, alcohol-free alternative to dry shampoo that actually cleans sweaty hair in minutes. We get into their founder story, how two industry outsiders used Google and contract labs to build a beauty brand, and why SWAIR’s time-saving, multitasking formulas are a game-changer for active women. They also break down their personal skincare routines, wellness habits, and how they balance fitness with beauty without sacrificing healthy hair.
