I’m Indian and we don’t wash our hair everyday. My hair is thick, unruly, frizzy and dries out easily (growing up and not knowing how to fix it was tough). Washing usually entails straightening, which takes time. Being able to stretch out the time in between for a day is a blessing.
I’ve long used the tip of sprinkling baby powder on roots and combing through to eliminate grease in between washes. But now they’ve capitalized on it…and made it better! They being many brands. So many that I was overwhelmed at Sephora. Apparently shade of hair is one factor differentiating the brands.
I was about to walk out with just a sample of Oscar Blandi’s ‘Pronto Dry Shampoo’ when I was convinced to try Ojon’s ‘Rub Out Dry Cleanser’ by a a gorgeous and put together woman buying multiple bottles. So I bought a travel-size bottle ($10) to try as well.
The spray (aerosol, which I’m not happy with and might be the deciding factor) makes the application difficult, but quicker. You have to be careful to keep it far away and control the nozzle or it sticks in one place and gets clumpy-ish. It smells great though and once you get the hang of it, it really does the trick! Which is why even though my first bottle clogged up after a few uses, I exchanged rather than returning.
The powder is much easier to manage and smells great – basically does the trick of baby powder but spreads through the hair much more evenly without residue. You have to use quite a bit of it though and you lose a lot during application because….well, it’s a powder!
I’ll have to test both, and maybe other brands, further before I make a decision on which one (if any) to purchase/use.
P.S.
1. They will make you samples of anything you want to try at the store. They also have tons of free samples and coupons as well as promotion codes you can use online for more goodies. I’ve compared and their prices are on par, if not lower. Be a beauty insider to earn points and get even more perks!
B. The folks know their stuff! They understand the products and always take time to answer all my questions. They don’t just try to sell me something – they are genuinely interested in helping me find the right shade, brush or lotion.
III. You can return something, receipt or not, even when there’s only a 1/3 of the product left. They will refund or give store credit if something doesn’t work. What’s not to love??
