Here’s an interesting product – Frederic Fekkai’s Wash & Wear spray shampoo. You can simply spray this in your hair to 
keep it clean in between shampoos.
Powder shampoo
“What a novel, breakthough idea!” you must be saying to yourself.
“Why has no one else in the history of hair care EVER thought of a spray on shampoo that doesn’t have to be rinsed off?” you’re probably pondering as you read this.
“Only the advanced science of the new millennium could have possibly created a spray on product to keep your hair clean between shampoos,” you’re thinking.
Is that what you’re thinking?
If it is, you’re WRONG!
It’s time you learned that, with the possible exception of the Internet, everything that’s worth inventing was created in the 70’s.
Case in point, check out this ad from the Beauty Brains ad vault for Psssst! Shampoo. Possibly the only cosmetic product ever to include a punction mark in it’s name.
Psssst! is also famous for being the first spray on, no rinse dry shampoo. It was essentially a powder that you sprayed in your hair to absorb oil, then you brushed it out. It didn’t work very well and it was kind of messy, but it did prevent hundreds of thousands of women from wearing a bag over their head between shampoos.
So in your FACE , Frederic Fekkai!

Salon Grafix invisible dry shampoo works pretty well. It keeps my hair from looking greasy the second day, even my bangs, which normally get really oily. It also didn’t leave a residue (I’m a brunette). It won’t look the same as just-washed hair and doesn’t add a ton of volume, but for $6 it’s a pretty good deal. Don’t know about the conditioner, but I wonder what it’s supposed to do?
This is a great summary, I have been using some of these products for a while, not tried the Salon Grafix Invisible Dry yet, but perhaps that could next.
i tried the Big Sexy Hair volumizing dry shampoo and while it may have made my hair seem less greasy, it did NOT feel clean. i have a thick head of fine hair (quite paradoxical) so when it’s greasy you can tell and when there’s product in it you can definitely tell. with BSH volumizing dry “shampoo” it didn’t feel like my hair anymore.
on the contrary, i bought Psssst! on a whim at CVS and it is FANTASTIC! gets the grease and oiliness out so my hair not only looks clean again but it actually FEELS like it’s been washed recently. (maybe not just a few minutes ago, but perhaps earlier that day or the day before. i’m an every-other day shampooer.) they must have improved it. also, i’m a brunette and i use the only variety at my drugstore which is the normal one, and it comes out white, but since you brush it out i’ve never actually noticed it on my hair.
verdict: the classic has been improved, and the new “fad” stuff does the OPPOSITE of what i wanted. go Psssst!
I just tried the Salon Graphix this evening. I hate it!!! It made my hair feel like hair spray after it dried. The smell is strong and very unpleasant.
For those of you saying how gross it is not to wash your hair every day, try being a truck driver and not having clean facilities to shower or working your a** off and can’t get a shower in because your exhausted?
I was really hoping that the Salon Graphix might help til I could get my next shower. I think I’ll try the corn starch instead of the pricey, strong smelling sprays that aren’t worth the money.
I love dry shampoo’s mostly because I work out a lot and I don’t like to wash my hair every day. I use http://www.Dust-Bath.com which is a newer product that is all natural and I love it. It’s cheep and smells really good. It also has chamomile in it which helps with that itchy feeling.
I have tried so many dry shampoo products and in the end have settled for this:

I have not only been impressed with the results, but also the all natural ingredients.
Don’t but Rene Furterer. I have had about 5 cans go bad after just 2 or 3 uses. At $24.00 a can it’s a complete waste of money. The cans are defective and leak so you only get a few uses.
I don’t recommend the TIGI-kept getting clogged and not enough product in can. Loved the Big, Sexy Dry Shampoo; even wanted to use it another day before shampooing again!
