No, paid employment in the United States is not allowed on a visitor visa, though some short business activities may be allowed.

Yes, powder dry shampoo is allowed on a plane, though large powder containers in carry-on bags can draw extra screening. Packed right, powder dry shampoo is one of the easier toiletries to fly with. It is not a liquid, and it is not the same thing as an aerosol can. That puts it in a
