This is a good, basic dry shampoo. My teenage daughter, who has very fine hair that tends to get oily pretty quickly, uses it regularly as a quick touch up and it works quickly and well to give her hair a clean, fuller look. My only slight objection is that it has a distinct aroma -- not a bad one, but a noticable perfumy smell. But it's not a bad one, and if you are looking for a dry shampoo this is the best one I have found.

I have used PSSSSST for several years to extend the amount of time I can go between hair washings. (BTW - you can buy PSSSSST at Walgreens.) My hair is fine and gets oily quickly.
I tried this after reading some reviews. It works much better than PSSSSST - it actually makes my hair *almost* feel just-washed! The scent is a bit strong, but not unpleasant. The effect lasts into the next day, and even then, a second spruce-up works wonders on the appearance and feel of my hair. (I can't say the same about PSSSSST.)

About the nozzle (same goes for PSSSSSST) - after spraying, put the nozzle near your ear and listen for the slightest sound of spray. If you hear it, make sure you squirt a spray - continue doing this until you no longer hear the hissing. This is important! otherwise, the can leaks out all of its propellant.

I bought this prior to my having surgery. I wasn't able to walk up steps to take a shower, and my hair gets greasy within 24 hours, so I wanted to look semi-decent when my friends came to visit, take care of me at home. I used the spray on day 2 days after washing, and it actually didn't look too bad. It made a mess of white powder, when I brushed my hair, but ah, for the sake of vanity. Two days later, I washed my hair, and again, two days after that, tried to use the dry shampoo. The tip was totally clogged. I tried soaking the tips in hot water, and when something finally came out, it was just not as closely nice as the first time I used it. Beginners luck or whatever, I asked someone to buy me a headband and sucked in the vanity of my greasy hair. There's GOT to be a product out there that works well, right? I remember PSSSSSST from my youth, but why can't you buy that in the stores anymore? Probably for a good reason.... Nothing beats a good ol' shampooing.

I have been looking for a dry shampoo for years! This one is inexpensive and works great. I have very oily hair that I would have to wash everyday without this product. Washing everyday makes the ends of my hair dry, so there hasn't been a good solution. Now I wash every 2-3 days use the product in between. It also doesn't come off chalky. You just spray it in and brush it out. This has made my life SO much easier. It's true that sometimes the head clogs, but you can wash the head with hot water and it clears. My teenage daughter also uses it during tryouts and sports days when she doesn't have time to shower. Try it and you won't be sorry!

I've tried a few dry shampoos in my life and nothing worked until I finally tried Algemarina Dry Shampoo. It's great! I have a lot of problems right now that cause me pain and showering to wash my hair every day or even every other day isn't possible, so using this dry shampoo is a godsend. It truly makes my hair feel and look clean. I just can't recommend this enough. May sure you don't spray in too much or too close, but it's really forgiving as well. Love it!

I have not only become a believer in the Algemarin Dry Shampoo I tell EVERYONE about it. I have now convinced a majority of my friends and family that this product is a MUST HAVE.

It is perfect for those mornings where time is something you don't have & 5 minutes is all that separates you on your way out the door. A quick few sprays of the Dry Shampoo, a quick comb through the hair & Poof.....Magic!

My hair sometimes looks better the day I use the Algemarin Dry Shampoo vs. the day it is freshly washed! Do yourself a favor & buy this product. I seriously cannot rave enough about it. I should consider buying stock in their company...that's how much I LOVE it.

This stuff works miracles. I used to have to wash my hair every day, no matter what. Now, if I need to skip a day I use the spray and it is amazing! I definitely recommend this product to anyone whose hair gets greasy. It's awesome!

I've tried every dry shampoo there is and this is a pretty good one for the price. I have blonde hair so the white residue that's an issue with some people is not an issue with me. If you want to spend more, you may like a pricier product better but this one works fine and smells good as well.

This dry shampoo really works and it smells great. It does not leave a powder residue, either. Great for after the gym.

I find that if I only wash my hair every other day, my hair is much healthier. I had been using baby powder before, but it's hard to get baby powder to distribute evenly throughout the hair. I found this dry shampoo online and gave it a try.

I really like it! It works well on short hair - I had my boyfriend try it out. He calls it a "ranger shower" and wished they had this when he was in military school. I have medium-lenght hair, and it was easier to distribute this through my hair than the baby powder I was using before.

The only thing I'm not crazy about is the scent. The scent itself is fine, but it is a bit strong. For a few minutes after I've sprayed, my nose gets that weird feeling of wanting to sneeze but not being able to. The scent does mellow out a bit after a while. And it's not an unpleasant scent. All in all, it's a good product and I use it a few times a week.
