Fresh Start
Amazing! Lightweight doesn’t leave hair with a film. Smell is very subtle. I can style my hair on day two and three like I just washed my hair.

Find something better
Find a better option. This product was on a good sale so I purchased it. I don’t use dry shampoo often so I was just looking for something inexpensive that wouldn’t leave a white residue on my medium brown hair and this seemed like a good option. It didn’t leave a white residue, but it also didn’t do much to help. Maybe it would be okay to use for an afternoon or evening refresh, but not really effective for managing second day hair unless you’re willing to use an excessive amount of product, which also takes away from the point of it being a value. Find something better.

Doesnt absorb grease.
Doesn’t do anything. I spray it in my hair and it’s just like spraying air into my hair. When I brush it out, my hair is still just as greasy.

Loved this !
First time I tried and love it !! I ran out of my usual dry shampoo and decided to try this since it was on sale and the reviews were pretty good so decided to use. I am a constant dry shampoo person and I definitely will buy again. I like the smell , no residue and gave my hair body and did not make my hair feel like I have dry shampoo feels clean . I have colored straight hair love it ! definitely recommend !

Terrible
I purchased this at the grocery store a month ago and have attempted to use it several times but it is a horrible product. It stinks and does not do what it claims. The bottle says ‘amazing oil absorption’ but that is the exact opposite of what it does. My hair looks greasier after I use it than before I put it in. It makes my scalp itch and I have to wash my hair after using it, defeating the whole purpose of dry shampoo. Would not recommend

Amazing for oily hair
I got this on sale from woollies this week. I usually use batiste, but CoLab is so much better than batiste! It smells better and its formula performs outstandingly on very oily hair. My hair is also fine but this doesn’t weigh it down. Fantastic and now I won’t use anything else

I swear this stuff made my hair even more oily and even made some of my hair fall out lol. I did a process of elimination between my other hair products and it came back to this. It could be my thin hair type but not a fan of any dry shampoo by this brand whatsoever

Hi Dee, thanks for reaching out to us. We totally understand that experiencing hair fall is concerning. We recommend that you pause using COLAB, but please be assured that your safety is our highest priority. To help reassure you, all COLAB products undergo extensive testing in our lab & on real consumers to ensure they are safe, effective and meet our performance promise. Our formulations are also approved by dermatologists and meet industry safety regulations. Something to note is that hair fall can occur naturally during the different phases of the hair growth cycle, so starting a new product might make you more aware of any changes. Stress, hormone and lifestyle changes can also contribute to hair fall too. However, you know yourself and your hair, so if none of these factors are at play and you're still experiencing hair fall, we advise consulting with a healthcare professional. If you need any further help, please reach out to us via the Contact Us section of our website and we’ll be there to support you. Take care & best wishes, Team COLAB.
