Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal + Biotin Dry Shampoo | Powder for Oily Roots

This is the best dry shampoo I have found. My other fave is Hask Chia seed volumizing dry shampoo, but because that one is a spray it contains butane and alcohol, which can obviously damage hair. This one is a powder, but unlike other powders it doesn’t make too much of a mess when applied. It was a little tricky at first getting used to application (shake the bottle, turn the cap until the opening is visible, then squeeze the bottle). It took a few tries to figure out how hard to squeeze to get the right amount of product. I have fine, thin, oily hair (I need to wash it daily, but I go every other day since my hair is chemically treated) so it is noticeably flat and greasy looking by the 2nd day. But this shampoo absorbs all the excess oil and gives it some body. I have naturally light brown hair and the product doesn’t leave a white color behind (it does remove all shine and makes it matte, but I personally love that). I attached 3 pics in outdoor lighting about an hour after I applied it - you can see there is no white discoloration on my hair. (I highlight my hair but it’s been over 6 mo the so I have massive root grow out). I also love that this doesn’t have any real scent and it contains tea tree oil, a natural astringent, and doesn’t dry out my hair or leave a buildup on my scalp, even though I use it 2-3x/wk. It also provides some great texture which allows me to keep it in a hair clip all day without slippage.

I really love that Briogeo’s dry shampoo is non-aerosol, which means I can keep unnecessary chemicals out of my hair and the environment. It’s packed with nutrient-rich ingredients that not only absorb excess oil but also help balance oil production, leaving my hair feeling fresh, clean, and voluminous without any chalky residue. However, I’ve noticed that getting the product out becomes more challenging when you're about halfway through the bottle. The dispensing mechanism could definitely use some improvement to make it easier to get an even application as the product runs low. Despite that minor inconvenience, I love how well it works and that it allows me to extend the time between washes without weighing my hair down. If you’re looking for a scalp-friendly, clean dry shampoo, this is a great option!

I have bought this dry shampoo about 3-4 times now and keep going back to it for a reason! Let me start by saying I have tried MANY other brands of dry shampoo and this one and Batiste are the only 2 I consistently go back to. It doesn't have a strong smell, blends/brushes into hair nicely, doesn't make my hair tangled or feel stiff, actually gets rid of and CONTROLS oil all day. I find my hair can go 2-3 days when I used to have to wash it every single day. Only complains are the packaging (hard to squeeze into hair) and the fact that it sometimes makes my scalp itchy if I use too much since the powder sits on your scalp but that could be user error. Overall worth the money as it lasts me a really long time where aerosol cans I would have to buy 2 a month this lasts me for about 3-4 months according to my amazon re-purchase history. I wish they had a brown colored one since my hair is dark it can sometimes make it look dull or powdery but I've definitely had worse. Trying out their puff powder next once my new bottle runs out.

Works well without leaving hair feel caked and only need to use a little. No powder left, just blend and pat onto hair

After using this dry shampoo for about 3-weeks, I'm disappointed. The product itself works well when initially applied to your hair (soaks up immediate grease and oil) but doesn't last. After washing/blowing out my hair and using this dry shampoo to prevent any build up, it needs to be reapplied within 2-3 hours - even if I'm indoors, with no sweat. I have to continue to use it every 2-3 hours to keep my hair fresh. Granted, I have very fine, oily hair - but isn't that what dry shampoo is for? Additionally, the dispenser is terrible. The "spray" nozzle is twisted open at the top, and then you have to squeeze the actual bottle (not a lever or the nozzle) in order to dispense. It gets everywhere, including all over my clothes regardless of how I sprayed it. I eventually learned to just unscrew the bottle and apply with a makeup brush or my hands like most other "loose" dry shampoos. I wanted to like this dry shampoo so badly as I've been looking for non-aerosol, clean beauty products. But sadly, this just isn't it.

The charcoal + biotin combo makes me feel like I’m doing something incredibly responsible for my scalp, even though I’m really just avoiding eye contact with my shower. One shake and suddenly my hair goes from “greasy regret” to “effortlessly mysterious volume.” It’s giving main character energy with minimal effort. Also, no weird powdery ghost effect. I can aggressively apply it without looking like I just lost a fight with a bag of flour, which is honestly a huge win. At this point, I’m convinced it doesn’t just absorb oil—it absorbs bad decisions. Highly recommend for anyone who wants their hair to look fresh while their life remains… a work in progress

It works! I use Rogaine twice a day, so my hair feels greasy. I put just a little bit of Briogeo on my fingers and run it through my hair. I never see any residue like I see with other dry shampoo products. It’s expensive but you only need a very small amount. It’ll last a long time. Plus, it’s not a spray, so it’s small enough so you can easily put it in your handbag or suitcase. I highly recommend this.

I've always had SUPER oily hair, and I've been on the hunt for so long to find a really good dry shampoo in between washes - preferably one that isn't aerosol and not super expensive. This is the best one I've tried so far, but the cons that come with it are making me torn if I want to buy it again or not. PROS: I love that this doesn't make my hair feel crunchy, and it doesn't feel like I have gross buildup or itching when I use it. A lot of powdery dry shampoos make me feel super gross after using it for a few days. After use, my hair feels lightweight and like normal hair again (compared to greasy and gross). you don't have to use it the night before for it to work, if I wake up to grease it zaps it really well. I also really like the smell, but if you're sensitive to strong smells maybe avoid this. CONS: The applicator is terrible. When you squeeze it a huge puff of dust fills the air, and if I spray too closely it will sometimes stain a white spot on the top of my head that doesn't come out after running my hair through. Because of the application it feels like a lot of the product gets wasted and doesn't actually get on my hair. It feels like I'm burning through this really quickly. It's on the pricey side too so it feels like a waste to keep rebuying. If anyone knows any cheaper alternatives to this that works just as well, PLEASE let me know!!!
