Hello, my name is Amanda + my natural hair sucks. Have I mentioned that before?! 😉
Aside from having flat/thin hair [that to be fair, does completely transform with some product], it’s also prone to getting greasy after about a day. Most women swear by dry shampoo, but every one I had tried was completely wasted on me. Until now…
Remember that wonderful basket of hair products my sweet friend Jackie gave me for Christmas? In it sat a can of dry shampoo that she could not stop raving about! I had yet to find one that changed my life, but after all of her products continued to wow me, I knew it had to be good!
Insert greasy-hair’s biggest weapon…
What makes this product so great? The micro fine tapioca starch absorbs excess oils + product build up while boosting volume at the same time [huge bonus for me]! It also has two-phase odor eliminating technology that removes any mal odors associated with natural oils or other products!
Love! So how do you use it?
Like most dry shampoos, you simply shake the can well + spray your grody roots from about 6-8″ away.
Once the spray has dried, massage it [really well] into your scalp + shake your hair out.
Brush your hair to remove any excess product…and you’re done!
I have to admit, I was pretty impressed with this stuff! Now don’t get me wrong, it won’t give you that freshly washed/blown-out feel [we are still working with dirty hair here], but it worked well enough that I was able to wear my hair down for the entire day! I really don’t think I’ve ever been able to do that [a messy bun is usually inevitable come noon].
I have to say, this totally lived up to its rave review + I will be savoring the rest of this bottle! 🙂
If you want to give it a try, you can order your own can here [it’s totally affordable]!
Does your hair get greasy easily?
What dry shampoo products do you use?
XOXO
Wow girl I can really see the difference!! Looks awesome!! I will have to try it!!
Thank you!! When you use a good product you can definitely notice a difference, but when putting the before and after pictures together I was like WOAH! It really does look so much better LOL.
Exactly!! Got to love before and after pictures!!
This stuff looks amazing! I’m very cursed/blessed with CRAZY thick hair that doesn’t get greasy easily. I can go 3-4 days without washing and even longer when I use dry shampoo. I’ve been using Tresemme dry shampoo for years, but I think I’m going to try something new when I run out. I’m adding this to my list!
You are so lucky!! That’s really a gift — my Mom is the same, her hair could go for days! I swear, if I wash my hair in the morning, come evening it’s already starting to get a bit greasy. Most dry shampoos make my hair even *more* greasy, so I was really surprised by this stuff! 🙂
I am the same way!! I couldn’t go more than a day without my dry shampoo!! My favorite so far is Batiste! But I’ll have to try this one out too!!
Ugh, it stinks! I know a lot of women deal with greasy hair, I just wish mine would last a liiiittle longer lol. I’ve been wanting to try Batiste, so many people rave about it — I’ve definitely got to pick some up. 🙂 Thanks for reading girl! XOXO
I hear ya!!
Seriously I’m blonde and whenever people see me right after I wash they’re like, “Did you get highlights?” Sigh…
Oh nooooo hahahaha!! Eeek, I cannot even imagine how my hair would get if it were blonde.
It’s nice after you have it highlighted because it dries out the roots and you can go an extra day! The landlord shut off the water today and i can’t leave the house! #greasy 🙁
Oh no!! I had my hair done on Friday, and just washed it again this AM. The blowout definitely lasted until like Monday…but I’ve been moving + have not felt like doing it! Messy bun for the win this week!
For real!
I like the look of this! Really great results! 🙂
Thank you!! Definitely a great product!! 🙂
dry shampoo is my life-saver!! gotta try this one! xo

It is such a genius invention!! I’m so happy to have found one that works for me! 🙂
Ugh I hate having flat/thin hair! This dry shampoo seems to work pretty well! Thanks for the post 🙂
I hear ya girl! The flat/thin hair struggle is real!! Thanks for reading! XO
I’m obsessed with Bautiste dry shampoo. I’ve tried so many and it’s the only one that works for me. It leaves a little bit of white residue but as a blonde, it just helps me hide my roots! I’ll definitely have to give your recommendation a try! Thanks!
I’ve heard so many positive things about Batiste, I really want to give it a try! 🙂
I’m definitely going to have to try that! I have superrr oily, wavy hair and it always gets greasy and flat about halfway through the day. I’ve tried other dry shampoos and none of them have ever done what I needed it to do, but the results you showed in the pictures were amazing!
I completely understand the struggle! Mine is usually the exact same way. 🙁 I was really impressed with how this worked for me – I usually strike out with DS!!
dry shampoo fedinitely saves my life every morning as well! 😉 xx Annie | Annie’s Beauty
Haha! AMEN for DS!! The first time I heard of/used it, I was like in shock! Genius! haha
Nice! haha Love that you used the word grody. Haven’t heard that in forever. I have never used dry shampoo because I have curly hair and never brush it when it is dry other than with my fingers. Your hair looks amazing though!
Ahhh I LOVE the word grody! I have no idea where I even learned it lol. You’re lucky — I feel like curly hair holds up so much better. I’m not a huge fan of having to use dry shampoo, but when your hair needs a little pick me up, it’s a really helpful product to have on hand!! 🙂
