This morning, I made a mistake. Instead of my trusty Klorane or Biolage hair refresher, I decided to give a dry spray from the drugstore, the aptly named Psssssst ($6), a try.
I sprayed it in, brushed it out, and my hair looked more than fine. It looked quite nice, in fact. Later today, however, I ran my hand through my hair, only to come back with a ton of white powder on the tips of my nails. The dry shampoo had settled onto my scalp despite a thorough brushing. Gross. I also got paranoid that my hair looked all powdery, and spent a good portion of the afternoon trying to make my scalp as hidden as possible. I usually love a good drugstore version of more expensive products, but this time it just wasn't the same. I've also heard good things about several less expensive dry shampoos, and Psssssst has probably worked well for someone sometime, but that day was not today, and that person was not me. Better luck next time, Walgreens.

Haha! the mental image of that is priceless Bella
1i was wondering about that stuff! i have been buying the ojani stuff from sephora at $24 a pop and wondered if the cheap stuff would work as good. now i know. thanks bella
2Ha! I used this in the 70s when we had sulfur well water and delayed washing my hair. These days, I'm trying to extend my color and my freshly washed hair is so hard to style.
I found some nice spray alternatives at Sallys Beauty: Batiste dry shampoo and a liquid: No Rinse Shampoo (used in the hospital--works!) I don't use much hair product so I can get away with this and it does really help keep my color (red blonde) fresher. They were life-savers the few times my apt had the water shut off for repairs!
3i actually like this stuff. i find not brushing extensively helps it not get all powdery.
4I like this one as well, and my sister swears by it... Personally, I would love to find the brunette version, but Walgreens only seems to carry the original white version.
5bella girl you are crazy, I love this stuff. It is a life saver and so much more affordable than the ridiculous double digit ones.
6Pssst is the best option if you're on a budget, although I remember it took more effort to look natural when I was a brunette. Batiste is the next best budget-friendly spray, though some dislike the smell.
Klorane is by far my fave, but pricey, and not available in stores by me. I tried Sephora's Ojon and was NOT impressed. No better than Psst and much more expensive.
7I LOVE this brand too! I have actually had better results with it (no white powder, great look to my hair) than with the expensive stuff i have bought from Sephora!
8Actually, this is my go-to method for only washing my hair 2-3 times per week. The key is to blowdry your hair after you spray it in to avoid have white powdery residue. Works great and adds tons of volume at the root.
9I had the same problem with this brand when I tried it...and also, it seems to leak out of the can, too? The can I bought only lasted for a month or so.
Did anyone else have that problem?
I started using the Oscar Blandi pronto dry shampoo powder and have been loving it!
10I love Pssssssssssssst! I couldn't believe it when I found it in Walgreens again. I hadn't seen it in years. It is a lifesaver when I wake up late and need to poof up my hair a bit. I haven't tried the expensive brands because this one works so well. Sadly, it is sometimes hard to find at my local Walgreens so I stock up when I see it.
11i love this brand! so sorry it didn't work out for you.. makes my hair beautiful.. esp when i shower the night before and have to wake up early
12I'm excited that such a product exists. I had no idea. Does it really keep your hair clean all day though?
