Handmade Heroes Volumizing Non Aerosol Dry Shampoo Powder - Absorbs Oil

Thin, stringy hair runs strong in my family: My mother had it, my sister has it, & I have it as well. We also have a history of having oily scalps, and when you combine a head not-so-full of hair & a tendency for an oily scalp, what happens is that you wake up the morning after a shampoo and your hair is greasy, clumped together, and your scalp shows through around the part. You look like a dirty, drowned rat & wonder what happened during the night that made your hair so oily! Doesn't matter if you washed it the previous morning or right before bed, you're going to wake up looking like Tim Robbins after crawling through that pipe in The Shawshank Redemption. There are a few things you can do about it: 1. Wash & style your hair every single day. 2. Get a perm (the chemicals dry out the scalp & adds volume.) 3. If you don't want to wash your hair daily, find a product that keeps your scalp dry. I do not like washing & styling my hair every day (I'd rather sleep another 15 minute) and perms are expensive, so I usually go for option 3. 1. Spray on dry shampoo: it doesn't work with thin hair & oily scalp - it just leaves a thick, greasy residue that adds to the dirty hair. 2. A hat, but I can't wear them at work. 3. Corn starch powder (so long as you're not allergic to corn products) or Baby Powder. These actually do work. I go for the corn starch because it is much, much cheaper & has no fragrance. But, both options are messy - the powder is very light gets all over & you look like Marie Antionette in a powdered wig. I put it on at night before bed, then maybe a little more in the morning as I'm putting on makeup, then towel off my hair. It may look a little dusty, but at least it's dry & adds a bit of volume. So I thought to myself, "Why don't they make a powder with some color to it?" Cuz the white powder, as I said, does leave some residue & you have to really scrub your head with the towel. Even then, I tend to have dry hands & lips & can feel the grit all day. Anyway, I decided to look on Amazon to see if they had anything, and of course, they do! I found quite a few products with colored powder dry shampoos, and read through the reviews. I chose this one. I felt the price was good & so were the reviews. I was not impressed by the small bottle (wish it were bigger), but people said a little goes a long way, so I tried it for the first time last night about a half hour before bedtime. Now, I'm not sure if you're 'supposed' to put it on before bed, but that's what I usually do with the corn starch, so I did. I sprinkled it on the crown of my hair & it looked like greyish purple powder. I went back to watch the end of my tv show, and after 5 minutes, I used my fingers to comb it into my hair like the instructions say to. Upon seeing myself in the bathroom mirror before going to bed, I smirked because it looked just like the corn starch . . . or so I thought. I wake up, and the powder was almost gone from my hair (it did not mess my pillow or get on my pajamas.) My hair looked perfectly dry & normal. The greyish purple had turned brown (on my scalp) and I did not have to use any more & had no dusty residue after I brushed & styled it, no dry lips or hands, no gritty feel whatsoever. I am VERY PLEASED with this product - a little does go a long way! There was a fragrance when I put it on (it was okay), but it was totally gone in the morning. I am so glad I took a chance. I am now a customer for life! Love it!

I wish I would have known about this earlier. I used to use a major brand in a can but I hated it. I have textured hair and the other stuff dried it out and made it feel brittle. On top of that, i was using a can a week because I have a ton of waist length hair that is thick as all get out. That's just so much trash in an already, over polluted world. Plus, all the chemicals.... ewwww. I have been waiting to use this stuff till my hair had significant funk to test it out. The reviews were right, start slow. I had spray can mentality and it was heavy at first. I brushed it in and closed the dial a little. I got the formula for medium/dark hard and love it. It doesn't darken my silver hair and I love that but it also doesn't make it look dusty. It just looks fresh and voluminous. It was still shiny too and I NEVER had that with the canned stuff. This is gonna last me so much longer. Remember to get the dust out of your ears before you go out. Caught the dust in my ears and cleaned it up, right in time before I left. 😆 I can not recommend this stuff enough. I do wish they had a eco friendly refill but a can a week, has been deleted from land waste from me because of this amazing company. With my super thick and long wavy/curly hair, this one can should last me a few months. Also, doesn't make my scalp feel all dry and tight and scratchy. Just like a touch thicker than my freshly washed hair and in a really good way. Love. Love. Love.

okay listen, this one feels bougie without actually being bougie-priced. it’s a powder formula instead of an aerosol, which means no choking on a toxic cloud in your bathroom. you sprinkle it in, rub it through, and instantly look less like someone who hasn’t washed their hair in five business days. texture-wise, it’s super fine and soft, so it blends shockingly well. even on darker hair if you massage it in properly. no chalky cast, no clumps, no dandruff-lookalike situation. quality is high too: no weird smells, no scalp irritation, and it feels way lighter than most spray dry shampoos. the size is generous, and value for money is top tier because powders last forever compared to sprays. one bottle will stick around way longer than you expect. durability is also solid. i can go a full day of errands, sweat, and even laying in bed rolling my head into the pillow without my hair flipping back to oil-slick mode. functionality-wise, it’s a lifesaver for lazy days, chronic illness days, or when you just don’t want to deal with shampooing and drying. it makes me look like i actually have my life together when i absolutely do not. now, here’s the tea: it does stain clothing. like, if you’re wearing a cute light-colored top and don’t notice some powder fall, congratulations, you now have mystery gray smudges all over yourself. i learned the hard way and now i either apply it before i get dressed or shake it in the sink. overall, this stuff feels fancy, works great, and saves me from washing my hair every single day. just… maybe don’t wear your favorite pink sweatshirt while applying.

I got this product because I was trying to avoid butane that usually comes in the dry shampoo sprays. This product works! the smell is minty which I don't mind BUT there are more negatives than positives... The application process is horrible for anywhere else on the head besides the top of the head (and it makes a mess). The charcoal in the product turns your fingers black as your rub it into your hair. The charcoal can also make your clothes black when it falls off your head and onto your clothes during the application process. Not worth the headache or the mess 😟

I adore this dry shampoo, i was an avid spray dry shampoo user and i would have to use it every single day that i didn’t wash my hair. It was drying out my scalp BAD and causing breakage. I’ve been using this maybe 4-5 months and my hair is healing (it’s a long journey with the help of other products.) i apply this usually the night of hair wash day before bed. Dry shampoo works best on clean hair. I let it sit in my hair without brushing it overnight or 15 ish minutes. I then brush it out. It leaves a little white cast but it goes away within an hour or so. I wash my hair every 5 days. This picture was a second application on day 3. i probably won’t have to do another. i also notice that my hair doesn’t get to smelling dirty anymore. The one wish i have is that they would do a refill bag. The container is high quality, i even bedazzled it. So i wish instead of paying for packaging each time i could just buy a bag of it. The smell is refreshing as well.

Great price, works on my fine blonde/platinum hair, gives hair texture and thickness, scent when smelled didn’t smell like much when in container, but once applied to hair and massaged in it gives a light sweet scent which is nice for deodorizing dirty hair. And it doesn’t smell like oil and flowers like some others… it actually just smells light and sweet with no covered dirty hair smell. This is the ONLY dry shampoo I’ve tried that WORKS and is affordable. I can go 3-4 days in summer sweaty hair and it looks so good still. The method that works for me is first have totally dry hair, brush, apply inch by inch sections (just a light visible sprinkle) let sit for as looooong as possible, like do my makeup, get dressed and read a book for the next forever, (realistically I try to let sit for at least two hrs unbrushed in the sections in a claw clip) when it’s time to style, I flip head upside down and vigorously massage scalp all over. This seems to remove extra product not absorbed by hair oil and thicken hair. Hence why head is upside down you will see extra product powder fall, this avoids you from getting it on your outfit and helps fluff/thicken. Then wash hands to remove excess product. Lightly brush again then style. One container lasts me 3-4 months I use this once a week and it saves me sooo much time especially being a college student. My hair is mid back length and medium fine texture. Usually will be nice and greasy 12 hrs after washing or when having a before bed shower it will 100% be greasy in the am. My hair has improved in health bc I’m not washing as much and it gets to feel more natural. Also I switched to Yes Honey shampoo products. Not sure if that helps but I do think it’s better for my hair. I looked for, and tried so many dry shampoos. I just wasn’t paying 60$ for one. None I tried did the job and I just decided my hair is just too greasy for it. So when this was recommended on a video I bought bc of the price and reviews. Now this is all I use and have used for 2 years. A+.

This dry shampoo is absolutely the best I’ve ever tried! My hair is extremely oily and this helps absorb oil while creating the volume I love! Because of this dry shampoo I went from having to wash my hair almost every day to washing once a week! This is now a staple in my hair care routine & I have purchased multiple times.

So, yes, this was a TikTok-based purchase (aren’t they all, anymore?). I grew up in a time where dry shampoos weren’t really a thing, and started bleaching my hair to combat the oil. Full disclosure, I used to use baby powder on my roots in between washes, and this kind of reminds me of that, except the texture is grainier than baby powder. For what I need it to do, it’s excellent and maybe the best I’ve used, but it’s definitely not going to be for everyone. My hair is very fine and flat, so me sprinkling a fairy dust-sized quantity into my fingertips and rubbing it in isn’t going to cut it. I just turn it over and sprinkle directly onto the scalp. Doing this buys me an extra day or two without it looking greasy (but it does cut down on shine). Oddly enough, it doesn’t seem to have the same buildup that the aerosol sprays do (I’m looking at you, Dove). It doesn’t have a discernible scent, but if that’s really important to you, just remortgage your house and buy Amika, which smells so good you won’t care if your hair looks dirty or not. The main con is this: if you’re getting the brunette powder, put it on before you get dressed. No matter how careful you are, there’s going to be fallout and it’s really hard to get out of your clothes. It washes out- just don’t do what I did and throw it everywhere 10 seconds before you have to be out the door. And wash your hands right after. The pigment will get on your skin. All in all, very nice for dark hair. Great price, and better for the environment. If you’re blonde…maybe save your money and go with the baby powder.

Svolge la sua funzione, pratico da usare il plus rispetto ad altri è che non lascia nessun effetto ‘polveroso’ o alone bianco sui capelli

Si bien es un poco complicado de usar y se acaba cayendo algo de producto durante la aplicación, es un champú seco natural que cumple su función correctamente. Me viene genial para llevarlo en avión porque no va en una botella de gas. Además, al ser un poco oscuro es más sencillo de "difuminar".

I've tried so many different dry shampoos but this is my first non-aerosol dry shampoo. This keeps my hair looking cleaner than anything else I've ever used, and my hair is greasy within hours of washing usually. I apply it on a night and sleep with it in and it rubs in perfectly. I recommend applying it straight to the hair and not the scalp as it can leave your scalp looking black if you don't rub it in fully. Also, the minty scent stays in your hair and keeps it fresh! I just tap a bit onto my hair, and I've been using this for over a month and there's still over 3/4 of the product left!

Easily the best dry shampoo I’ve tried. I think the first bottle I purchased was back in October 2023, and Im only on my second. A little can make a huge difference and I can make my hair last a little longer between washes (it can probably be longer depending on the person) 10/10

Gör sitt jobb! Gillar att det inte är i sprey flaska. Men jag tycker håret känns för strävt (kanske tar för mycket?) kort sagt, den fungerar, men föredrar hellre min vanliga.
