blowproFaux Dry, Dry Shampoo Powder, Removes Excess Oil & Product Buildup w/o Water, No crunchy Residue, Creates Volume, Protein blend adds Shine and Resilience, Pouf Technology Travel Size 1.7oz

I tried my bottle as soon as it arrived. My hair was looking pretty oily, especially around my ears, so I figured it was a good a time as any to see if it was really going to work. I was stunned. Just stunned. I followed the directions and it worked like a charm. I thought my hair would be too oily or that it would show a lot or residue. It didn't. I have ash blonde (almost brown) hair--very long.I had put some on my part, and after I brushed my hair, I noticed I could still see some white powder on my scalp there, so I massaged my scalp a little and ran a comb over the area. It disappeared. I hate that it costs $20, but if I don't have to use that much at one time, it ought to be worth it. I'll be saving on shampoo, that's for sure.UPDATE: Okay, now I'm impressed. I washed my hair on a Sunday night, and finally used this on a Thursday morning to freshen up my hair (usually I'd have to use it sooner, but didn't have to that week). Then I got up late on Friday and had to use it again. I was sooo glad it worked on a second application. On Saturday morning I got up and used it again, and was stunned at how good my hair looked. I didn't feel like I was using an excessive amount, even though I have a lot of long, fine hair. I washed my hair Saturday night, just because.The next week I wound up using it a little sooner, and washed my hair sooner, too. But I'm impressed with just how much this product helps, even on repeat uses. AND... my head doesn't feel itchy like I was afraid it would. In fact, I think it has helped my dandruff and my hair in general to not be washing it as often, but to still be taking care of the oils in between washings. I don't have excessively oily hair or anything, but it does start looking pretty greasy at times, so I think think this stuff is pretty amazing. This is probably my 3rd or 4th week using it.UPDATE #2: I started using this product in February of 2014. It's now January 2015. In the last year I've bought two bottles. Product still works great. The second bottle seemed to have less or wasn't quite the same as the first bottle, but it was still effective. I just felt like it ran out sooner than the first one did, and it didn't seem to distribute quite as nicely as the first one. I'm about to buy my third bottle, so we'll see if there's any difference there.I use this product 2-4 times a week, and it always helps my hair. Sometimes I just need it for spot touch-ups, but sometimes I bring it in to do heavy lifting, like when I wake up late getting up or I'm out camping with limited access to water. It always does the trick, and I haven't had problems with it causing or exacerbating dryness or flaking. In fact, my hair seems healthier now that I wash it with traditional shampoo a little less.

This is the best dry shampoo I've ever tried...I recently started washing my hair every other day (rather than every day). Because my hair is thick and is curly, it would easily take me an hour to dry and flat iron my short bob. Over the past two weeks, I've tried 5 different types of dry shampoo. And then I bought this (along with the shower cap which is ah-mazing) and will never buy another dry shampoo again. This stuff soaks up the Day 2 oil and doesn't leave the gray, powdery residue behind. It also doesn't leave my hair feeling sticky, clumpy or matted. And, best of all, it doesn't have that super strong perfume smell. In fact, it doesn't have scent.There are two other girls at work that are also on the every-other-day hairwash kick. When I showed them my no-oil Day 2 today, they both bought this and the shower cap.

The product deserves 5-stars, but the bottle design made me subtract a star. Previously the bottle was a slightly better design and you could shake out the product (although it would sometimes clog). I actually thought my new bottle was defective, do I asked for a replacement because the powder won't come out even after following instructions.Pros: Solves dry hair, oily scalp combo. If you have this issue, this is your product. If you have thin hair, it adds volumes. If you hate seeing a shiny scalp, try this product. It lasts forever since you need very little. It's fab on vacation when you never know what weather to expect.Cons: New bottle and application in general. Make sure you use it before any gel products! Rub it with a towel & then comb out or brush. The last thing you want is a part that looks white/gray. To avoid the "George Washington" as I call it, make sure you blow out your hair & inspect for any blotches on your scalp.It's called a dry shampoo, but you really should consider it a root shampoo. It isn't something you want to shake all over your hair. It does work great if you are in the hospital. Post-surgery when you can't shower, this item is a total godsend. Make sure to pack it wherever you go. I wish they had a purse-size applicator for touch-ups.
