Good product
-05.31.13
Quick Take: easy to use, lightweight, non-sticky
This has an unoffensive scent, provides a reasonable quantity per can, and is relatively light-weight. I have thick, straight, dark blonde hair of a medium to fine texture that tends to get oily by the end of the day. This product provided great beachy texture for day 2/Sunday hair. My preference is still for Klorane (my local Sephora didn't have any in stock), but this is a suitable alternative.

The best dry shampoo ever!
-05.23.13
Quick Take: lightweight, non-sticky, easy to use
I've tried them all for my fine, blonde hair and this is the very first that gives body, no odor and doesn't leave my hair feeling sandy and powdery. Shake real well, don't over apply...I spray on my roots in about 5 spots and then rub in...my whole head of hair seems to grow in body. Love it! Buying another.

I was so sad when my local store stopped carrying it! This stuff is the best! I used to use the Bumble & Bumble red powder, and this is the only stuff I use now that B&B discontinued the red.

Quick Take: lightweight, smells to strong!!, no difference after using?
It's smell was to strong and it didn't work as well as a powder would? Disappointed because I do use the silver shampoo and conditioner and love the way they leave my hair smelling like I came out of the salon.

Quick Take: easy to use
As a volumizer, this product is the best I've ever tried. Everything else has made my hair feel more gunky than voluminous. However, you WILL feel this product, and it may take some getting used to. I prefer the way it feels in my hair over the greasy sensation I get if I fail to shampoo for just 1 day--so, as a dry shampoo, I think it does its job. I can understand how this may not be for everyone. f you like the "bedhead" look and/or you tease your hair, this will keep everything splendid. If you like a sleek, glossy look, this might not help. It does make my hair a little more difficult to brush, but because I like the unkempt look, that doesn't bother me. It'll also make your hair easier to style if you're going to wear it up (my hair is naturally straight and slippery, so this gives it more texture to stay in place). As for the scent, I don't mind it. It's not that overpowering, and the scent fades over time. If you're using it to stretch out the time between shampoos, I'm pretty sure you're going to want SOME scent in order to conceal the smell of oily hair (that is, if your scalp tends to get oily). The spray is super easy to use...I have dark hair and as long as I run my fingers through after spraying, I don't see a white residue.

This is the absolute best dry shampoo I have tried, and I've tried dozens.Gives volume, leaves a nice matte finish, and doesn't make my dark hair look dusty once brushed through well.

Quick Take: easy to use, non-sticky
I love this stuff! Makes your hair so full and is still easy to wash out. I have fine hair so I use a lot of volumizer/dry shampoo and this one is by far the best I've used. Unfortunately, my store in Kelowna doesn't carry it anymore and now only carries the B&B stuff, boo urns :( I will be stocking up in the states or ordering it online by the CASE!

Volumizing
-04.21.13
This product definitely adds volume when you're between washing or styling, but one con I noticed is that it made my hair less manageable and left it with a "heavy" feeling. Still, my hair looked great, it just didn't feel so great. This dry shampoo is still one of the better products I've tried and probably works much better for normal / fine hair types.

Not for the scent sensitive!
-04.17.13
Quick Take: lightweight
I was no too impressed with either the effect or the scent of this product. The scent is very heavy and perfumy (several folks asked me about my "strong perfume"). Compared to other products at much lower price points I really do not think that this performed any better.

Quick Take: easy to use, non-sticky
I've tried many dry shampoos and this is by far the best. Pleasant smell that's not too strong like many others I've tried. I have dark brown hair and it does not leave white residue behind as long as you brush it off after. Soaks up oil great and adds volume. It's little pricey but worth it.

Great product!
-03.29.13
Quick Take: non-sticky, easy to use, smells good
Let me just start by saying, I have black hair and when I spray this in my hair you can see it. It's like completely visible until it dries and you work your fingers through it. I'm not taking away any "stars" for that though because it's something that's kind of expected but just know if you have dark hair, this will show up in it until it dries and you work it through with your fingers. They didn't have the dark one when I first bought this product so I'm looking forward to trying that instead. It does give great volume and I love it for second day styling because I always wake up with flat hair and this gives it the perfect boost and holds it there so I don't have to respray this through a bunch throughout the day. Like I said I'm going with the dark volume powder next time, but for the time being this works great! Also, if you have bangs it gives great shape to them so they stay put and don't get greasy. Oh and my hair type is fine but thick, and my scalp and hair tends to get oily within a day or two.

worth it
-03.11.13
I have fine, straight, color treated hair. I can't really go more than two days without washing my hair, so dry shampoo is one of the products I use most frequently. I have lots of different kinds, including drug store brands, and I think this is THE BEST. Yes it's expensive, but it give my hair the most volume (so critical) and takes away oiliness. I wish the finish wasn't QUITE so matte, but it's okay.

Quick Take: easy to use, lightweight, non-sticky, adds texture, great for fine hair
and this is my favorite hair-powder spray so far.
I have fine, limp hair that gets greasy quick, and I don't want to have to shampoo it every day. This is the only powder I have purchased that has lived up to the task of refreshing my hair style enough to go another day without shampoo. I love the smell and get compliments every time I use it, and it's amazing for my blunt, super-short bangs, as it keeps them from separating into greasy fringe. Definitely a must-have for my purse.

Quick Take: easy to use, lightweight, non-sticky, volume, fresh scent
This is by far the best powder based spray I've ever used! I can go several days with out having to wash and it still gives my fine hair major volume and leaves me with freshly scented strands. A must have for the lazy gals out there ;-)

Quick Take: lightweight, easy to use
I love that this product adds volume to fine hair. Unfortunately, it falls short as a dry shampoo. It does not do much to prevent oily locks or extending time between shampoos. The search for a volumizing dry shampoo continues...

-02.15.13
Quick Take: easy to use, lightweight, non-sticky
This product does add volume and allow me to add a day or two extra between shampoos. It is lightweight and helps absorb any oil. I like this product better than Oscar Blandi Dry Shampoo as I think it gives more volume. I am still on the hunt for a dry shampoo that gives more volume than this one but so far this is the best one I have found. I have a naturally wavy thick hair that is often very heavy.

Just a little sticky, but provides awesome volume! I compare it to oribe's dry texture spray, but with a little more hold. Great product for thin limp hair!

Wonderful, wonderful product
-02.13.13
Quick Take: easy to use, lightweight, volumizing
This is really a great product. I used the Big Sexy Hair dry shampoo before this and although it worked very well it had the worst imaginable smell, not this one. The smell is absolutely fine, my boyfriend even went so far as to say he likes it, and it wears off quickly. I have thin and very oily hair, the second day hair for me involves an oily pony tail that I cannot do anything with, not anymore. This powder gives much needed volume and absorbs oil momentarily. Just as a tip that a Sephora rep. gave me, don't just spray on but rather after every spray rub the product into the hair which helps absorb the oil and provide the volume. It is expensive but definitely worth it
