Awesome way to extend time between color! Works great in temple area. You get color, but don't have to life with it since it washes out!

Review 2 for Brown Hair Powder
Perfect for what I need
-05.16.13
Quick Take: easy to use, natural looking
I have a very short haircut and use a lot of stiff product, so I don't tend to brush this through. I use it to cover a cowlick on the back of my head, which it does. It won't stain your sheets, it will get on your hands.

Review 3 for Brown Hair Powder
marykar
Works wonders on volume
-05.15.13
Love how it adds volume to your roots. I spray it and rub it into my roots when I style. It totally holds any uplifted style and I get tons of compliments with how full my hair looks. Ps it is also great if you have thinning areas since it is tinted and can give the illusion of hair in the area that is bare. I have my aunt hooked in this product for that reason alone

Review 4 for Brown Hair Powder

Messy
-05.13.13
Quick Take: messy
This product is way too messy. I was hoping for a tinted dry shampoo that wouldn't leave white in my hair, but it stained EVERYTHING. I had stains on my scalp, and my fingers would turn brown every time I touched my hair. I would definitely not recommend getting this.

Review 5 for Brown Hair Powder

Efficient use
-05.12.13
Quick Take: easy to use
I read the many reviews regarding the spray getting all over the bathroom, clothing, etc. I solved that problem by wearing a plastic glove - I spray the color on the index finger and rub it gently into my part where the grays are showing. Works great, and then I just rinse the glove so I can use it again. No mess! I agree that the spray makes the hair a bit duller than I would like, but it is better than the gray stripe on the top of my head between hair colorings.

Review 6 for Brown Hair Powder
sueltame
A keeper!
-05.11.13
This is a product I cannot do without!
I don't use it as a dry shampoo, but I'm sure it does that too.
I use it to hide my thinning hair- I spray it at the roots and it hides any part of my scalp that I need to.
Also great for covering greys in between touch- ups.
It is a GREAT product!

Review 7 for Brown Hair Powder
MADE MY HAIR GREASY
-05.08.13
Quick Take: easy to use, natural looking
I loved the concept but it made my hair feel dirty and flat. Perhaps for me it doesn't work well. I have a lot of fine hair.

Review 8 for Brown Hair Powder
In a Pinch
-04.30.13
Quick Take: easy to use
I used to use this product more often. The travel size is perfect. I still use and it works better than others I have tried. But the color isn't "stay fast". And if I scratch my head I end up with brown fingernails.

Review 9 for Brown Hair Powder
Worth it if you have a bald spot!
-04.26.13
Quick Take: easy to use, natural looking
What a head saver! I've recently moved to a new area and in the search for a new stylist, had a bald spot cut into my pixie. I found this spray and it covers nicely and looks natrual. Just 1 or 2 sprays, then I blend it in a bit. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it does transfer to hands/clothes easily if you touch it and runs a bit during my morning runs; I sweat a lot through my head I guess. Overall, I would definitely recommend if you have an area you think needs some coverage.

Review 10 for Brown Hair Powder
Does the job!
-04.24.13
Quick Take: easy to use
This stuff is great for covering my roots when i haven't had time to get my hair colored, it's also good if your hair tends to get a little greasy. I don't really like the cost though so i might go with something cheaper next time.

Review 11 for Brown Hair Powder
Hair Powder Root Coverage
-04.17.13
This product is much better than others. Does not make your hair feel stiff or gummy. Be careful with where you put it at...don't put it around your hairline if you exercise..it will run.

I got this stuff on a whim since I had a gift card and I love B&B and LOVE dry shampoo. What could go wrong? Well...
1. The stuff is insanely messy. Brown pigment gets all over your fingers and the bottle (and face if you aren't the most careful sprayer I unfortunately found out)
2. Don't even think about running your fingers through your hair throughout the day b/c once again, your hands will come out covered in brown gunk.
3. I did not like the texture it left my hair with. Sticky, stiff, not good.
I will say that it did leave my hair "matte", no grease. And if you aren't the type to touch your hair constantly (like me) and like a strong hold than you may like the stuff. I just can't get pass the mess factor though. I had to return it.

Review 13 for Brown Hair Powder
Good for temporary
-04.14.13
Quick Take: scented, messy
This product is great for covering roots if you are taking pictures, out with some friends or on a date and don't have time to dye your hair. However, the brown sprays all over the place and the spray comes off on your hands aswell as your pillow. If you're going to use this spray wear it for the day but shower at the end of the day. Not to mention if you have a boyfriend, warn him not to touch your hair or he'll ask what the brown stuff is all over his fingers.
Will not repurchase.

Review 14 for Brown Hair Powder

Good powder hair to absorb oil on the hair with a very good result. You can also use "Faciano Dry Shampoo", which is non-powder to clean you hair without residue and very amazing!

Review 15 for Brown Hair Powder
Full hair!
-04.10.13
Quick Take: natural looking, easy to use
I've used Pssst and Oscar Blandi dry shampoo- they don't compare. This gives me full hair, and let's be honest here...
If you're using DRY SHAMPOO, you're hair isn't going to feel clean. End of story. You're spraying powder in your hair, which absorbs oil, and it usually contains an alcohol which can be drying. If you want clean feeling hair, take a shower. If you want full hair, use dry shampoo.
Secondly, yes, it's colored, so if you don't want the chance of getting color on hands, clothing etc, don't buy this product. I just used the product in store, got it all over my hands, and it took me 1 second to wash it off.
Plus, it doesn't have a heavy smell like Pssst or Oscar Blandi. Yay!

Balding women this is a must have in your arsenal!

Quick Take: natural looking, easy to use, must have for thinning balding women, it will take some learning to use, best product for thinning hair, volumes hair and makes thin hair easier to style
I'm 42 with fine salt and pepper dark brown hair! I'm severely thinning!
I have to dye my hair every two weeks! I have been to every hair restorer known and its the same answere, buy a wig!
this product, camouflages my grey roots
Adds volume
Darkens my scalp and helps conceal my shinny scalp fm shinning through!

It also has a learning curve!
Shake bottle well
Hold away fm head several inches
Spray quick, but fully or it will splatter
A little bit goes a long way, rub it in with your fingers to disburse it through out your scalp.
It's colored, you have to protect what you don't want colored!!!
It washes off super easy with soap and water! Wear gloves if you need to.
I cover my face to prevent overspray because I'm mostly thinning in the very front!

Once you get use to it, it is the best product I have used to conceal my roots and thinning hair!
I can leave the house and I get a lot less "freak stares"!

Surprised, wasn't satisfied
-04.09.13
Always satisfied with Bumble and Bumble products, but this powder was awful. Product was like using shoe polish - too liquidity and stained face,counter and floor. Had high hope for in between coloring but did not work. Sure they will go back to the mostly powder form.

Best out there
-04.05.13
Quick Take: natural looking
I never spend this much money on a product but this is worth it. Great when I should get my hair colored and have not had time, and great when I can't shampoo and should have. No perfumey smell. I don't find it messy at all.

Review 20 for Brown Hair Powder
Today a "no shampoo" but need good hair day?
-04.04.13
This is a good alternative to wearing a ball cap...but, I'd caution a few things when using this spray:
1. Make sure you aren't wearing a nice outfit. (Read: Best to use this product with a towel over your shoulders OR an around-the-house t-shirt)
2. Once you use this spray, the next day is a MUST shampoo day.
It does do what it claims to do...add volume and absorb excess oil. It leaves the hair pretty filthy feeling though...so once you spray it in your hair, it's not very easy to work with.
The big PLUS about this product...it covers grays, and extends your next hair coloring appointment! So it will save you a bit of $$.
