Kate’s Not Sold On Stila Hair Refresher:
Is Stila Hair Refresher anything more than thirty-dollar talcum powder?
The Right Brain’s Not Impressed Either:
Actually, this Stila product is not a $30 bottle of talc powder.
It`s a $28 bottle of CORNSTARCH powder. Ok, to be fair they also throw in a little silk and tapioca starch, but for the most part it`s just cornstarch. (Aren`t you glad you watched our amazing cornstarch video. What, you didn`t watch it? Shame on you!)
Anyway, the product also contains fragrance to make it smell nice, a little silica to prevent caking, and a bunch of preservatives which it doesn`t really need since there`s no water in the product.
Does it work? Well, it sure smells nice and it will absorb some oil from your hair but there`s no special technology in the formula that makes it work better. The Beauty Brains just can`t imagine that it`s worth this much money. Still, some of the people over at Makeup alley rave about it. To each her own!
Ingredients:
Corn starch, silk powder, tapioca starch, mica, silica silyate, fragrance, benzyl benzoate, methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben

If you’re looking for a similar oil-absorbing hair product or dry shampoo, check out Pssssst spray at Drugstore.com… it’s INCREDIBLE and about 1/5 of the price of the Stila.
You guys have no idea, I couldn’t STOP watching that video. It was like a Christmas miracle.
Here’s a recipe for a homemade dry shampoo, which sounds like it does the job.
Thank you! I only just noticed that you answered my question! (Dropped by to see your take on CG’s deodorant issue.) And OMG, the cornstarch video is brill.
