dry shampoo?

PGASTL · June 2012

In response to my "getting ready in the morning" post below, a few people recommended showering the night before and using dry shampoo to fluff my hair the next morning & make it less greasy.

I am very intrigued by this because I have never been able to shower the night before - my hair is very fine & gets greasy overnight.

After watching a few youtube reviews, I think I'm going to go buy the Suave version and do a test run tonight - I'll let you know how it goes!!

Any tips / suggestions / success stories / massive failures to report with your own experiences with dry shampoo?

I've used the Oscar Blandi (sp?) brand for years and love it. Literally, like 4 years ago I bought this one little bottle and still am using it. It was one of the few brands out then but now there are lots. It seems like lemons and I love my hair afterwards. It's not quite as good as a fresh wash but passable. I usually put it in near the roots, let it sit for a minute and then shoot it with the blowdryer for a minute. I know they make tinted versions if your hair is dark. Mine is not so the white powder is okay for me.

Maybe I should try it. My hair isn't fine but if I wash it at night and don't put it in the head band to curl it then it looks greasy.

I use Cake Beauty Hair Powder for lighter hues (they make it for darker hues, too). I highly recommend.

I have a failure with the Suave stuff. I used it for a few months here and there with no issues, and then all the sudden I developed a pretty severe allergic reaction to it! It did work well when I wasn't covered in hives... If you have sensitivities to a lot of products though, you might want to watch out.

My roots used to get really greasy if I skipped a day of washing my hair. But after reading other December moms post about dry shampoo, I started using it. I tried Suave at first, but my roots still looked greasy on the days I didn't wash my hair. Then I switched to Pssssst, which got great reviews on Amazon. I like it a lot better than the Suave. My roots don't look greasy and I don't get that icky feel I used to get when I didn't wash my hair.

I really like the Pssssst dry shampoo. I just spray it on my roots when I'm almost done getting ready, let it sit for a few minutes while I finish getting ready, then brush my hair out.

Why have I not heard of this. I must try it.

I have tried a few brands. The first I tried was an Ojon spray which worked really well but was also pretty expensive.

Then I tried Oscar Blandi Pronto. The version I have is a bottle that just pours out powder, and I hate that application method. It smells nice, but I would rather have a spray.

The one I have right now I hate and never use. It's not technically a dry shampoo, it's a waterless shampoo foam from Suave and it sucks, don't buy it!

That's the one I have but mine comes out really slowly and finely. It is a really old bottle though so maybe they changed the bottle. They do make a spray though in it!

So you just put it/spray it on your hair and then you don't have to wash or everyday?
