This is the best dry shampoo I've used- it does what it's supposed to do + it smells lovely (lemon'ish scent).

Would definitely re-purchase!

**Update** just read other reviews on here regarding this product and quite a few mentions that there's only a few uses/per bottle = not making it worth the money. I guess there must have been some bad TIGI batches because I've personally not had this problem- this dry shampoo lasted forever and never seemed to dry out in the bottle etc.

Great for keeping curled hair puffy and soft for a couple days. Not good for getting the greasy look out of straight hair.

A dry shampoo will NEVER give you the results of a wet shampoo. That's a given. What I expect is oil absorption, lift, decent smell and no silicones (my routine is Devacare, silicone and sulfate-free). I just want to get by one more day before having to really wash. After trying a couple drugstore brands that in retrospect had silicone (which requires washing out with stronger, drying shampoo), I hit Beauty Brands and found that very few dry shampoos lack silicone (any ingredient with a -cone at the end). This seemed to fit the bill; and I'd had success with the brand before. I also noticed that looking at the weight in oz. helped me figure out which was a better bang-for-the-buck. Two similarly sized bottles - one is cheaper - but it has significantly fewer ounces. You can even ballpark weigh them in your hands. So I've been using it for a few weeks, a couple times a week and see a big improvement over the drugstore ones. Good oil absorption - enough to be visibly presentable (if I run my fingers through my hair, not so much...but really, this stuff is for appearances). Good volume and a nice astringent lime-y smell that is not overwhelming or cloying. It also washes out well without residue with my gentle shampoo. There is a whitish cast in my jet black hair if I spray the nozzle too close to my head, but even if that happens, it brushes out easily. It dulls my usually shiny hair a bit, but that is to be expected (getting rid of oil will get rid of shine!) And I haven't had the problems others have mentioned about it running out too fast. According to Amazon reviews, this is sometimes a storage issue. The propellant will leak out if it's left on it's side - like in a gym bag or drawer; it needs to be upright. Also, I don't use it generously and am basically shaking the bottle continuously while applying. There's still plenty left. The only improvement I wish for is better oil absorption, but I'm going to increase how much I use now. Overall I'm happy and will commit to the end of this bottle (unlike the other half-used ones that got thrown out in the trash!)

This is the best dry shampoo that I have used. However, I'm not sure that says much. Most dry shampoos smell bad, leave white flakes or just make your hair look dull once you brush it through. So, there's not much decent competition to choose from.

The major problem I have with 99% of dry shampoos is that after lightly spraying and brushing it through, they somehow make your hair look dull and yet greasy at the same time. Thankfully, this doesn't do that and it's one of the reasons I think it's the best option despite my issues with the price and how many uses you get out of it.


My hair: I have a lot of fine, wavy hair that feels very thick when running your fingers through. It gets greasy quick but pouf and frizz is also a problem.I also dye it red. So basically...the less I shampoo/condition/heat style/use product, the better my hair looks. Unfortunately, the longest I can go without shampooing is 3 days, max. My hair just gets too greasy, even using this stuff doesn't help after the 3rd day.


The problems I have with this stuff are:
1-overpriced ($15 and up)
2-you get maybe 10 uses in a can, depending on how long/thick your hair is and how much you use. I've used mine about 5 times and I can tell it already feels halfway empty, and I only spray at the roots and brush it through. It's definitely not something that you can justify by saying "yeah, it's expensive, but it'll last awhile" like when you get a MAC eyeshadow.


That being said, the mist sprays finely and evenly, smells good, and if used properly, doesn't leave white stuff in your hair like a lot of drugstore products do. Not an HG product, but I feel like until I find anther option that doesn't leave white flakes or make my hair look dull after using it, I will repurchase this.

I work at a supply store...so when my boss offered me to try this product for free I was excited! I love the cute packaging and I actually love the smell (which most people aren't fond of). However, it really doesn't work that great. Left too much white residue in my hair and my hair was greasy looking in about 4 hours. That's not the only problem either. Tons of people bring it back complaining that they only used it once and the can was empty. The sprayers on these bottles tend to malfunction and leave you with an empty can after one or a couple uses. Not worth the price if you ask me. You're much better off trying Redken Powder Refresh. It isn't in a pretty can...but it smells good and works like a champ!

Absolutely love this product. I have seriously oily hair. I can wash my hair in the morning and it's oily by evening. I read the reviews before I bought this and still took a chance because everything I had tried just sucked. This is how I used this product.

I first sprayed my part quickly, then turned my head upside down and sprayed my roots quickly. I left it on my scalp for a minute then brushed it out. It was great! Smells wonderful and my hair was clean and had volume all day.

I had no issues with the can clogging nor did the can go empty after a few uses. I used this twice a week and the can lasted me about 4 months.

There is a learning process with this product, so if you decide to try it, be patient and don't go spray crazy. Sometimes just spraying your part and lifting up at the side and back letting it sit then brushing your hands through your hair does the trick.

The packaging is cute. I hope most people don't mind paying $20 for that cute packaging. Because the product inside is TERRIBLE it smells Like stale orange peels and the results are more awful it looks not just oily, but dry and stiff.. its gross. I'm so disappointed. Your better off using baby powder.

Before I purchased this product I read a review on here saying that they had used it once and then went to use it again and it was all gone. Figuring this was just a fluke, I decided to purchase it and give it a shot. The product itself worked wonders. I intended to use this sparingly when i didn't have the motivation to actually wash my hair, and plus it was pretty expensive. So about two weeks after I used it the first time I went to use it again and to my dismay the bottle was completely empty. And I know fo a fact no one else in my house had used it. So, the product itself get's 4 stars, but their poor quality bottles turn it into a complete waste of money.. so disappointing :(

It's the best dry shampoo I've found. If I flip over my hair and spray the roots and then flip it back, it really gives me volume. Also just spraying my whole hair and then hair spraying it makes my limp hair look like model hair. Yes, there is white residue, but it comes off easily with a brush or fingers.

I bought this dry shampoo two years ago and as far as usage goes, I remember it left no white residue and it made my oily hair seem fresher - nothing spectacular but my hair looked better. Why do I give this product then such a low rating? Because I only got to use it once. ONCE. I used it right after I bought it, to see how it works. I remember I left for the weekend and left the spray back home and when I came back the bottle was empty. I was quite upset, while the price was a bit steep for me but I thought the leakage was only a freak accident. Now I want to give the dry shampoo trend a new try, and I began reading the reviews here for this shampoo. As far as I can see, it happened to other people too. Maybe it is a matter of luck, but frankly I do not feel like playing. I will reorient to another brand simply because I do not think it is worth the risk.

Unfortunately, this just doesn't do much to my hair. It has a citrus-y smell, so it makes it smell clean and nice, but other than that it has no effect. My hair doesn't look cleaner after using this, and I don't get any extra body in my hair.

Love this one and have used it for a couple of years. I have a lot of blonde highlights in my brown hair and I don't want to overwash my expensive color. I have read numerous reviews about people having this product leak and evaporate but I have never had this happen. It isn't cheap but it works for me and allows me to wash my hair every 3rd day as oppossed to daily. I shake this product well and let it set for a few minutes before I brush it through. I have to brush it through really well and I don't have any problems with the "white powder effect." It smells much nicer than most dry shampoos. Love this one! It does the job and doesn't damage my hair.

Nope. A formula that is white and even turns light brown/dark blonde hair grayish in combination with a can that lets the product leak/evaporate makes an expensive product (about $19 at the salon) for only 3-4 uses. The slightly citrus/powdery scent is fine, nothing I'm overly crazy about but nothing overpowering offensive by any means and the product does it's job...that's if you can comb/rub away the white powdery effect it leaves on hair...making hair look dull (not just sopping up oil, but actually taking the shine away from hair (which is the nature of dry shampoos...but Dirty Secret makes hair so dull looking)). I've used Dirty Secret on my dyed black hair, as well as my natural level 7.

You can find this online for as little as $12-ish...the salon charged me $19. The white-ish look and slightly dulling aspects are effects that seem to be in the nature of dry shampoos each to varying degrees. Compared to my only other foray into dry shampoos (Pssssst! By Freeman, from Walmart and less than $5 a can)...Dirty Secret has much room for improvement. Other oily hair techniques I've used are using a face powder (oddly, a cheap Cover Girl compact seems to be the most effective option I've tried yet, if I have the time to apply it all over)...and Psssst!, which does what I need it to, is cheap, fast and something I'll probably keep on hand.

not bad - i have dark brown hair and although this isn't coloured it doesn't leave grey streaks in my hair like most other dry shampoos. it does cost a bit more and the bottle doesn't last that long, wasn't crazy about the smell either. overall i think there are others that do the same job for a better price.

I love this dry shampoo, better than Oscar Blandi and Klorane. You get a big bottle, and you can spray it directly on the hair and it blends nicely. You may need more blending for brunette hair, but this has become a staple in my haircare routine. It definitely does its job, and I get sad when it gets low. Recommend!

****DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES**** unless you like giving your money away! You will get maybe 4 sprays out of this and after that you WILL have an empty can **GUARANTEED**. The small trial size is even worse, you'll get ONE spray out of that one. The product isn't even that great, either. I've smelled way better (Oscar Blandi) and I think I prefer the powder puff-out kind than any type of spray bc it looks like the propellant gives out before you get your money's worth out of it. NEVER AGAIN.

I bought this product for days when I sleep in and don't have time to wash my hair. I can usually go 2-3 days without it looking greasy although I needed the re assurance of a dry shampoo to not make me feel dirty. The girl working at the beauty supply shop nearest me recommended this above all the others, so I bought it. I used it once and was quite pleased having never used a dry shampoo before I didn't know quite what to expect. The scent was a little nauseating but after putting it on and brushing it out and spraying a ton of hairspray to conceal the stink of this dry shampoo I was fairly content with the outcome. So the next time I didn't wake up with my first alarm, I thought hey! No problem I'll just use my dry shampoo and my hair will look fine! But noo I go to spray my can, which Ive only used once and to my horror nothing sprays out. Wonderful! Now I get to go back and explain to the sales girl that I got a defective can and that I need to exchange it. Definetly not for the same product tho, because after reading everyone else's reviews apparently this happens quite often. So my search for the perfect dry shampoo isnt over, I hope I find one that doesn't cost me 17$ per use or I'll be back to washing my hair everyday!
