DAE Fairy Duster Dry Shampoo Powder - Non-Aerosol Natural Ingredients Absorbs Oil Refreshes Roots

The pump applicator is genius—none of the drying, crunchy, dirty-scalp effects of an aerosol, and none of the clogs or uncontrolled oopsies of most powder formulas. The pump sort of puffs the product onto the hair, which makes for a very lightweight and more even application. I've got thick, fine, naturally light-colored hair with lots of bleach on the ends—the kind of hair that picks up scalp oils as soon as it's washed, though the bleached parts are bone-dry without some serious intervention. This dry shampoo is kind to both: it keeps my roots grease-free without my ends looking damaged, poufy, stiff, or product-heavy. Unlike other reviewers, I'm not a fan of the scent (not much of a fan of scented anything, really). It's rather a sweet smell, but quite light relative to most hair products. It won't linger on your pillow or be all you smell as you go through the day. Read more

Smells great & actually works! I have thin and greasy hair, and this is the best dry shampoo I have found. Put it on the night before and you will wake up with new, fresh hair! Read more

This dry shampoo powder smells absolutely amazing!! It’s best for day two hair, in my opinion. If your hair is really greasy, it does help some but it also kinda feels like you have product in your hair, unlike some other dry shampoos. But as far as a non-aerosol option goes, I think this is definitely the best route. It doesn’t leave a white caste or anything and, although the bottle is pretty tiny, a little bit goes a long way so the small bottle will last a really long time. And yeah, I can’t compliment the smell enough. It really does smell really really nice! The only reason I’m giving it 4- stars is because I don’t love how it feels on actual dirty hair, like more than a couple days post-wash. I do think it makes your hair LOOK better, but it doesn’t exactly make it FEEL better. But I do really like throwing some in my hair in the evening on day 2 post wash and then the next day there’s a ton of volume in your hair smells great Read more

Best dry shampoo I have ever used! I tried so many other brands, from spray to powder, and this is by far my favorite. Not only does it fight grease and give volume, but it also smells amazing! Read more

Smells nice. Works ok. Price is a bit steep for the size of the bottle and efficacy. I like that it’s not aerosol yet still spurts out. Wish it worked as well as LP. Read more

I have such mixed feelings on this one :/ the dry shampoo works fine, most of them do. But this applicator is really difficult to get working correctly, at least in my opinion! Way too much comes out and if you don’t move it while you’re pumping out a single spray then way too much ends up in one spot to re distribute. But the spray happens really fast, you’re not really able to do it slowly because it’s an air pressure dependent pump mechanism. I just wasn’t able to distribute it in my hair well at all. Multiple people also commented on the lovely smell which is why I wanted to try this one over the other non-aerosol products. t is a nice smell, but it is so overpowering. If it was 1/10 of the strength, it would be really nice, but it’s the sickly sweet overpowering smell that made me nauseous. I’m sitting here 30 minutes later with it in my hair and I still feel a little bit sick to my stomach. Such a disappointment! I was really hoping to love this one Read more

This is some of the best non-aerosol dry shampoo I’ve found. It works really well and smells delicious! My husband thinks it smells like candy. Read more

I’ve tried them all. You name it, I’ve tried it, from premium brands at Sephora, salon brands, drugstore and THIS is THE ONE. The first thing you’ll notice is it’s not aerosol, it’s a pump that shoots out a perfect little poof of the finest milled most DELICIOUS smelling beauty dust. It’s easy to get a great application. (The company makes a brush to use with it. My review is without using a brush, although now I’m intrigued.) This doesn’t make my hair feel like it has product or weird or look white. It helps my hair to feel truly CLEANER in a way I’ve never gotten from aerosol products. It feels much lighter and much more absorbent. I also believe it’s a great value and has many more uses per bottle compared to aerosols and others I’ve tried. I kinda used to feel like I was always running out of dry shampoo and that I only got a few sprays for $31. I’ve been going hard on my DAE for months and can SEE inside the bottle that we’re still going strong and have product left. I loved this so much it led me to check out other products from DAE. I also highly recommend their pink tube styling creme with the mascara brush. For reference I have fine color treated hair naturally wavy curly hair that is not especially dry or oily. Read more
