Madison ★★★★★

The powder actually disappears into dark hair instead of leaving that chalky cast, and my scalp stays matte well past lunch for once. Even on day-three hair, it zaps the grease without making my roots feel stiff or sticky. This is the first one I’ve finished entirely.

Hazel D. ★★★★★

I’ve tried a dozen dry shampoos and this one actually keeps my scalp fresh past 5pm, which is a miracle for someone with extra oily roots. The spray distributes evenly without leaving that chalky white cast, and a quick blast at the crown fixes a greasy day in under a minute.

William T. ★★★★★

Two sprays at the roots and my hair actually looks freshly washed for a full workday, even after a sweaty commute. The powder disappears without that chalky white cast I've dealt with before, which is a huge win for my dark hair. This is the first dry shampoo that keeps up with my oil production pas
