Description
For those of us with oily scalps, it's hard to go even two days without washing our hair. Save yourself a little time in the morning by using this at the root to replenish volume and soak up oils.
How to apply:
1. Apply to clean or dirty hair at the root (do not apply to wet hair!)
2. Gently tab your root area using a flat palm to make any visible powder instantly disappear.
Tip: if you ever over-do it with a shine product, just add a little bit of this and tap it in.
cruelty free | color + keratin safe | vegan
free of added fragrance, sulfates, parabens, phthalates, silicones + gluten

This is effective but as a brunette, I want able to get the powder out the next day. Even after sleeping on it and trying to blow dry the excess out. Maybe I just put too much.. but seems better suited for blondes

It didn’t help at all. I used it couple times even googled to see if I was doing anything wrong and still no use. Didn’t make my hair feel refreshed at all. Still left looking oily.

Makes my scalp itch like crazy within 20 minutes if application. It also has a very messy application that gets powder all over my face and clothes, and even after massaging it into the hair, it pills a bit to leave little white balls in my dark hair
Best dry shampoo

Best dry shampoo! I have fine oily hair and this this thing works wonders! My advise is sleep in it! You wake up with day 1 hair! Also sleeping in it let’s it absorb overnight and not leaving a white cast! If you need a little extra in the morning go light because it will leave a white cast. I think this will be life changing for many! I found it on accident and am so happy I did! I’m sad I didn’t find this product sooner. Good price for effectiveness of product.
Company needs to back to original formula!

Jess - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
Used to be the only dry shampoo that worked for me. Easy and even distribution. Soaked up oil without much residue felt. They must have changed the formula because it stays on my hair in a circular patch where I tried to put it in to spread around. Have to scrub a dry towel on my hair to remove the patch. Can make scalp feel itchy and when I scratch, powder gathers under my finger nails.

I don’t know what it is about this powder but it doesn’t work AND I have never had an itchier scalp. I can’t even make it up, it felt like my head was on fire.
doesn't soak up oil and it's NOT for brunettes

Doesn't do anything with the oil in my hair, it's only job, and it leaves a white cast on my brunette hair. Love that it's fragrance free, but this formula is a no from me, dawg.

Does nothing for oil but trust everyone will know you TRIED to use dry shampoo since it stays chalky the rest of the day. Only think I appreciated was that it’s aerosol and scent free. Wish it worked.

Guy - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
Every time i see a bad review it just makes me think people dont know how to use this product… i have very greasy hair and this works WONDERS. Since my hair is dark and it makes it look white, i put it on the night before, thoroughly rub it in/spread it out, and sleep in it. By the morning, all the powder is disbursed and absorbed and my hair is still left feeling light, soft, and fresh!!!! Sometimes there may be a tad of a white streak left in my hair if i put too much in one area, but i just rub it out a little and honestly sometimes i just leave it because its really not noticeable. And more of my oily hair will just absorb it throughout the day anyways :) Personally think this one is better than the Odele version due to the pump, but i love both. Never mind the price of this because it is actual powder so the product takes a lot longer to use up than other aerosol dry shampoos (which i can maybe only use like 4-5 times)

Extremely small bottle but I honestly love it. I have thin, fine hair and this absorbs oil so well.
It's not messy if you use the spray pump

GOOD TO KNOW LADIES: There is a pump spray! I wasn’t aware at first and unscrewed the top to get to the dry shampoo. It made a huge mess of course. Having the spray feature is great!

Can be messy but it works. I have fine blonde hair and usually oily scalp. It’s different than traditional dry shampoo but it doesn’t leave the icky residue feeling. Might not work for all hair types but it works for me.
The Worst

HannahB - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
This may be the worst dry shampoo I ever used. It doesn’t absorb any oil. I also left this in overnight to let it really absorb and with every other dry shampoo the appearance of the powder becomes minimal but not this one. I scratched my head, ran my hands through it, blow dried it, brushed, but nothing got my hair from being stark white. I ended up having to wear a hat. Ended up throwing in the garbage after using twice and seeing same results.

This only works for like 2 hours and then my hair is oily again and you have to use a ton every time. And the pump is terrible. The only reason I’m giving it 2 stars instead of 1 is because it’s fragrance free and didn’t make my scalp itch

This is my new holy grail. Yes, it is absolutely messy. I can't dispute that. But for my very fine hair, nothing has been better. I use it at night before going to bed and I wake up with hair that you'd confuse for day one. Added bonus is that after sleeping, there's really no white cast to worry about!

I loooove this brand typically, their shampoo and conditioner at least. I decided to try this because I had heard about Batiste being bad for your hair and I trusted Kristen lol. But this did not work for me. It hardly made me look less oily, my hair still looks dirty after using this. It didn’t seem to add much volume either. I get oily super fast and I’m trying to wash less so my hair will grow, but this just didn’t work. I also have been having super itchy flaky scalp this winter and this made it worse. Super disappointed. I also wish it had a scent!!
Works well
