    I really wanted to like this product, but this dry shampoo just left me flat. I don't *hate* it, but I don't think it is great either, especially if it sells for the suggested price of $9.99 a can. I wish there was an option between "You Betcha!" and "Fugheddaboutit!" - it could be called "Meh".

    First off, this has a really intense perfume-y scent. I used it in our small bathroom the first time I tried it and I seriously wished I had opened a window for better ventilation because it felt like I was inhaling perfume. Because of the intensity, I'd also be hesitant to use it in a locker room. I stop noticing the scent on myself as time passes, but I'm not sure if it is because it fades or if I just get used to it. It's not a bad scent - I just find it too intense.

    To apply, shake can before use and spray directly onto oily roots from a distance of 20-25 cm (roughly 8-10 inches). You are then supposed to rub in using palm and brush out. I did this each time I tried it and it worked....okay. I found I needed to use a bit more of this product than other dry shampoos I have tried. It definitely mattifies any shine you might have from excess oil in the hair. It does initially look powdery and have a white-ish cast, but my hair has blonde highlights and I found that thoroughly patting and raking my hands through the roots made it blend in nicely. I'm not sure if blending in would be an issue with dark hair or not.

    It does give a little texture and a bit of body at the roots. While I don't particularly care for the way this feels when my hair is down, I do think it works well when I'm attempting to do an updo with 2nd day hair. It gives it a little less slip so it will stay pinned up more securely, and I'm able to get a little lift at the roots too. If I were to purchase this, I would likely use it almost exclusively for this purpose.

    I received this product for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. So would I purchase this myself? If I had plans to pin up my hair, and I was going to use it at home in a well-ventilated space, I might - but not for $9.99. The *most* I could see myself paying for this is around $6.99, which would make it comparable to what I have paid for got2b (which I also use specifically for up-dos). If I was looking just to freshen up my hair on a regular basis, I would pay a little more for Batiste. I feel like it freshens better with less product, they have a huge range of scents, and since they make varieties for medium and dark hair, it may be easier to blend in for some people.

    It's not a bad product and as I said, I could see myself using it in certain circumstances, but I would not use this on a regular basis for the reasons I mentioned above. I think Dove has some great products, but this one is a miss for me personally. As always, your mileage may vary.

    I'm on the fence with the Dove Refresh+Care Invigorating Dry Shampoo.

    The smell was nice, it wasn't overpowering at all. I felt like I had to apply quite a bit to get the desired results. I honestly wonder if it'll last me 5 uses.

    You really have to work it into your hair with your fingers so you don't have the white residue showing (specially on anyone with dark hair)

    This wouldn't be something I'd buy again.

    I received this product free from Chick Advisor Product Review Club.

    I am always searching for a dry shampoo because I would like volume in my straight and thick hair. I was told dry shampoo would give me volume. However, like every dry shampoo it made my roots white and dull. Yes, I rubbed it in and tossed my hair and only sprayed the roots. Still leaves it white.

    I received this product from ChickAdvisor in return for an honest review.

    This was my first time using a dry shampoo, and I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from the product. I have to say, I was disappointed. This product left my shiny black hair dull and grimy. I'd much rather spend 10 minutes washing and drying my hair than relying on this.

    I don't think the product is completely at fault - I just don't think it is right for my hair type. My super fine hair needs to be washed every day. Maybe even if my hair was any shade other than black, this product might work better.

    Thanks to Chick Advisor for being able to try this product. I need to use this more but when I did use this it was easy to use. But I found that my hair had a little bit of an oily look to my hair. Not really bad but it did not look clean like it would with a normal shampoo. I will use this still and see how it goes. But I usually shampoo my hair.

    I have never used a dry shampoo before, but it's an interesting concept!

    I have fine long hair, and it tangles easily. I also work out a lot, but also don't want to shower twice a day if I go out after my workout. So a dry shampoo would make sense, right?

    I spray the solution on the roots of my hair, blend in with my fingers mid way through my hair, and it leaves my hair smelling nice at least.

    Other than than, however, I end up needing to put my hair up in a pony tail afterwards, as I just feel my hair is greasy or unclean (despite smelling good).

    I am also not particular to aerosol cans, but that is a personal preference.

    Perhaps this would work better for someone with thicker hair than mine?

    I've used this both on weekends (without working out first), and after workouts with the same results, so it's just not the right product for me.

    **** I received this product at no cost for my fair & fabulous review ***

    I received Dove Refresh+Care Invigorating Dry Shampoo for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
    I have never used dry shampoo and really want to try. I used Dove Refresh+Care Invigorating Dry Shampoo on the roots of 3days hair. I have dark blond long fine hair, I used almost half a bottle. You must use it in the well ventilated room, Dry shampoo have a strong smell(like a hair spray) and it have white dust spreading all over.My hair become white after spraying dry shampoo on it, after shaking my hair this dust flu away but my hair were a little bit lighter then my colour. At the end result I had the hair looking like after washing(and it last for 2 days) but hair was not soft more like after applying hair spray.
    I recommend it for light short hair

    Received this as part of the Dove review box.
    I am a huge fan of dry shampoos, and have tried quite a few - my favourite being Batiste.
    I actually had to use this the day after using the shampoo/conditioner/dry oil in the review box because my hair was soo full of residue from the products that it looked unbelievably greasy.
    So i decided to give this a shot, and style my hair afterwards.
    My hair looks greasy, it looks like it's full of product, and the dry shampoo, instead of creating 'manageable' hair, causes my hair to knot and look awful. I also get chalky hands after touching my hair - even though i thoroughly brushed it out.
    The smell is also very strong, not unpleasant, but too strong for a dry shampoo.

    I received the Dove Refresh+Care Invigorating Dry Shampoo for free from Chick Advisor so I can give an unbiased review on the product. Smell-wise, I love it! It's not too strong and doesn't irritate my nose. The spray nozzle works really well, there's no residue left after you spray. The most important part, though - its effectiveness is not there. My hair is still oily and a little clumpy. I am not sure if it is because of not using a brush/hair dryer and I used a straightening brush instead. I followed the directions to a T - shook, spray the roots and mush it into the roots and brush. It just didn't work for me. I loved the smell, though. Compared to other brands.

    I am not a huge fan of this stuff. Mostly because when you spray it on it looks like you put baby powder in your hair. I liked the smell. It relatively easy to use. Sprays on well. You really have to work it in your hair and brush it out to get the white powder like stuff to go away. I have not had this issue before with other dry shampoos. Once I rubbed it in and brushed for about 5 mins I could still see a bit of it. I have curly thick hair and most of the time with dry shampoo all I want to do is work it in with my hands and then go. I don't like to brush my hair. So for that reason I don't think I'll ever buy this product. After all that I did look like my hair was not that greasy which is the point. I just did not like it. For reference I did not wash my hair for 3 days to try this product.
