Has anyone tried Dry Shampoo?

[m 'n c]

I am tired of washing my hair every darn day and it is really irritating my scalp since the air is so dry here in Houston. My coworker recommended dry shampoo but I've never tried it. I'm wondering if it really does work and if it will work with my fine hair that tends to get oily within 24 hours of washing it.

I bought some of this for my dd, who is almost 13. She is at the point that she needs to wash her hair every day. We have found that it works ok, but be careful of the shade you buy. The thing she doesn't like about it is that she says it makes her hair feel like she has a lot of hair spray in in.

We bought a spray at Ulta. if you have a Ulta store near you, I would recommend going in and talking to someone about it. They always have coupons too. We got the spray variety, but I know you can also buy a powder...but that scared me a little thinking that I might get too much in her hair, then have to wash it out anyway.

How funny that you mention this because I was just thinking today of ordering some! I was reading in Fitness magazine a couple of weeks ago how you should use it to avoid washing your hair every time that you workout.

Ok I went ahead and bought one to try on Sephora.com. I went with an aerosol can because I hate powders - they always turn my hair grayish and gunk it up. I am hoping the aerosol is different. It had to ship ground so hopefully it will get here soon.

I've used it but am not a fan. I definatley wouldn't use it if I had access to water.

I've had mixed results from the Oscar Blandi powder from Sephora-it requires a lot of blending.

Oh man. I hope this wasn't a total waste. I guess I can return it after one use if it doesn't work out well. I know I didn't buy the Oscar one Heather so maybe it will make a difference.

Do you use a lot of styling products? I read somewhere that products build up and make your hair look dirty. If the the ingredient ends in "cone" it tends to build up. (think silicone.) Some suggest "washing" with a cheap conditioner (Suave, White Rain, etc) instead of shampoo. (co-washing)

Hey ladies,
I use a spray dry shampoo that I get at Sally Beauty Supply--although I'm sure you can find it other places too--called Batiste. It smells kinda strong (kind of an overpowering "fresh" scent) when you spray it but isn't bad after you've combed it through. I have long thick hair that I wash every other day, but I use this if I'm running late and don't have time to wash. I just spray along my part and hair line (my hair is dark auburn and the spray is white). I rub it in well with my fingertips then brush well and it blends great. I've not tried other brands but overall I'm pleased with this one. Hope that helps someone!!

I wash with Suave Daily Clarifying Conditioner often, it leaves your hair so soft and healthy feeling. I couldn't believe how great it cleans...regular shampoo strips your hair, so I only use it a couple of times a week.

I'm pretty lazy when it comes to my hair. I tend to wash and then dry without adding anything. My main problem is the time it takes to dry my hair and overwashing it.

I'll have to try this if the one I bought doesn't work out.
