I DEW CARE Tap Secret Dry Shampoo Powder with Biotin - Tap Secret Original Strengthening Volumizing Refillable Travel

I don't understand why this stuff has so many poor reviews. I can only assume that they don't understand how to use it correctly - because this stuff is absolutely life changing - and that is not an exaggeration! My daughter has this, straight, very oily hair. (For reference, she has light brown hair and we use the Blonde color on her - it's a perfect match!) I've tried just about every can of dry shampoo on the market. Everything else just kinda worked for a few hours - this stuff works for DAYS. It's an absolute miracle. I did my research and followed application tips from other reviews that are buried in here at this point. Here's a recap of what works for us: - I part her hair from forehead to crown. Do only a couple of *very light* taps on the hair, not the scalp. Then move over a couple of inches and repeat until I’ve gone from ear to ear. - I repeat - do not to apply directly to your scalp. Aim for the hair only - about a cm or so out. - Again, don't use too much! Start with a couple of light taps - you can always add more if needed. This stuff goes a long way and if you use too much, the hair will feel dry and chalky. - Let the powder sit in your hair for a few minutes to soak up the oils. Then you can start rubbing the powder around/through your roots with your fingers. Another reviewer suggested using a Boar Bristle brush to distribute - I agree This is a great help!! You can also flip the head over when rubbing the roots - that's great too. Another reviewer suggested using a cool blow dryer at this point - I haven't tried that yet but will. - This stuff works great for us any time - but as another reviewed suggested, it is especially fantastic if you apply it at night before bed. I don't know why, but when we do the night method, my daughter's hair is always especially fantastic in the morning! - For applying to the hairline, I suggest tapping a little powder into your hand and applying with a makeup brush, if need be. But honestly, once we are the point of spreading it around, it tends to naturally take care of the hairline anyway. I think that's all I can think of for now. Try it! Be patient! If you do it correctly, this stuff truly is amazing! I followed tips from other reviews that are burried in here at this point. Here's a recap of what works for us: Read more

I have nothing negative to say about this item. It was easy to use, straight out of the box and gave my hair an instant, healthy, bouncy volume. Instantly absorbed the excess oil and didn’t leave a white residue. I’d definitely be buying more! Read more

I was annoyed when i saw the price of this item compared to the size of the container. Then i used it, and my fears were gone. A little dab will do you! Also, i find this keeps my hair oil free for 2-3 days. I only need to use it once a week. I have thick fine hair with very oily roots and dry ends. Traditionally, I have to wash my hair every 5 days, and on day 5 it needs to be up in ponytail, it's noticeably greasy. I am unhappy with literally every shampoo i use, as this oily roots thing won't go away, even with daily brushing to redistribute oils. Until I can find a shampoo that will cure that, this will make things manageable for 7 days. I love that it isn't aerosol, i can apply exactly where I need. I usually apply, let sit for a few minutes, then brush it out and i have day one hair again!!!! It also does not have an overpowering scent, that is a major plus as well. There are 2 reasons for the 4 stars- while this does work for days, I notice my roots have a residue on them. I know this means the product is there, continuously working, but i can feel it when i brush my hair and it kinda catches on the brush. Secondly, I do find it leaves a white cast. This is lessened by better application (don't jam the applicator in one spot, gently tap in several key areas and then brush out well), but as a dark brunette, this is a problem with almost every dry shampoo i have tried. Next time, i may try the darker colored powder they carry- but that may be a while! All in all, a product that lasts for a few days, meaning i only have to use once a week is a major win, and I would recommend this to anyone with very oily roots. Read more

I'm a bit of a dry shampoo fiend, and I'm SUPER picky about what I use because I have dark hair and hair that gets oily QUICK. I need my dry shampoo to last at least two days before the grease starts to show back up, and it cannot leave a white cast. My go-to for a while was Batiste's dark brunette one, but I had to use a lot more than I wanted to get it to really take care of the oil, and didn't love that it left a light brown stain every night on my white pillowcases. This stuff is perfect - it doesn't leave a white cast once you rub it in, and you need VERY little for it to work. It also works over several days - not that I'm proud of it, but at once point due to the chaos in my life I didn't wash my hair for over 10 days, but with this I only had to apply twice over that 10 day period, which given my hair gets super greasy, is a miracle. It's also PERFECT for travel. With my new job I've been traveling internationally a lot for work, and it was getting annoying and expensive to keep buying the travel sized dry shampoo sprays. This worked perfect and I often stowed it in my carryon or purse to apply after I landed overnight. I'm about to take it on my trip to Europe for 2 weeks and it will be perfect! Only major callout - once you've put this stuff in, and especially if you've used too much (no seriously, use VERY LITTLE) any slickness or sleekness you might want out of your hair is hard to come by. I cannot roundbrush my hair at all with this stuff in it, it feels a bit like I am trying to comb through teased hair when I do that. This kind of texture isn't visible (other than the great volume it gives you), but it doesn't feel great on your hair when you touch it and can be hard to comb through. This isn't a major issue for me since I do relatively little hair styling, but for some this might be a dealbreaker. So if you want to try it, heed the warning - you don't need much of this (which is good because it lasts so long!) - also maybe put it on AFTER you've styled your hair. Read more
