    I really like this product as I tend to only wash my hair every alternate day. You just need a little and after waiting for a few minutes, I tip my head upside down and sort of massage my scalp to spread it out. I might look a fright when I first tip my head back up but after brushing out my hair and maybe using a straightening iron, my hair is full of body and looking good once again.

    You know those mornings when you're running late for work, don't have time for a shower or a good hair wash, but don't want to go to work with greasy hair? Well this baby is what you need on those days! It smells very fresh and shampoo-ey and the fresh scent stays on your hair after you put it in. What I do is flip my hair over and rub the mousse into the roots of my hair. Then I take a towel and dry it. This mousse really does make your hair wet and it smells and feels cleaner than before you put it on. Once it dries, your hair looks freshly shampoo'ed.

    None of us want to admit to it, but we all have those one off mornings when we just can't freshen up our hair before leaving the house. This little bottle is just a life saver in those situations. I would def' recommend this to all the ladies with long oil prone locks.

    My hair is always extremely dry after I wash it so after I while I decided to start washing it less often... However, even though the ends of my hair wouldn't get greasy after a few days without washing it, my roots would. This became really annoying which is why I ended up trying this dry shampoo, and believe me... I don't regret buying this! The price is really inexpensive for what it is, and the quality is great too! It smells really fresh and fruity (almost like freshly washed hair) and most importantly it leaves my hair a lot less greasy than before. The only con I would probably say is that if you don't apply it right, it won't give you the results you're looking for... You have to shake it really well before use and spray in small bursts, but it isn't really that big of an inconvenience. So overall.. I love this product and it is a must have for early school mornings when you don't have time to wash your hair!

    Some days are better than others with this product. I've had days where my hair was second-day dirty and it worked well, and I've had days where this product didn't work so well on my second-day hair. If I put it up, 99% of the time my hair is fine and doesn't look greasy with this product, but if I have it down I usually have to pin my front layers back or stick in a hairband because my roots look greasy. I haven't figured out why sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but I sure wish I'd bought the one for oily hair! The one I use for normal to dry hair is a mousse-y, foamy type and the other, for oily hair, is a powder. The powder seems like it would give more volume and would prevent those greasy appearances!

    If I do slip on a hairband when using this product, I usually leave my hair tousled... the product itself gives good volume to my roots, which I certainly can't complain about. It has a nice, typical fresh-shampoo smell which I like, and doesn't leave your hands sticky if you're pressed for time and can't wash them right away. The cost is good, and you can find both types (dry/normal or oily) in drugstores. You can also blow dry your hair after using this product which is, from what I hear, the best way to use this product... but I usually let my hair air dry as I don't have a lot of time. To each their own; I recommend this one if your hair doesn't get greasy easily, and I recommend the other one for oily hair if you have oily roots after missing a single day of washing. It's non drying, so you could even wash your hair every other day to keep the moisture in, and use this on days where you don't wash!

    This is great for freshening up. It's similar to other brands (like Batiste) but for me, doesn't look or feel so powdery in my hair.
    The scent reminds me of hair spray, really, but it's not terrible and I can't smell it on my hair afterwards anyways. It makes my hair feel a bit less greasy and flat when I use this - I skipped washing my hair for a day and used this instead, and my hair felt ALMOST the same as usual. There is still a bit of that powdery feeling of course, and it did not make my hair "full of bouncy body" (lol) like it says on the bottle, but the results were still good.
    It recommends using the Fresh Start Refreshing Mist if you want more shine after using this. I think a tiny bit of any kind of shine spray would work too, but I'd like to try the Refreshing Mist next anyways!
    Overall, I really like how this gets rid of some of that unwashed feeling, and doesn't make my hair look or feel as weighed down with powder as other brands. The scent isn't the best but it doesn't last long regardless, which I like (since all of the other products I use are scented).
    This is decent if you want to freshen up the texture of your hair and kind of neutralize any unfresh scents, but I would look somewhere else if you want something that has a long lasting, perfumey smell.

    TRESemme Fresh Start is a fast and cheap way to hide your stringy, greasy strands ASAP. Dry shampoo is NOT a substitute for washing your hair, but in a pinch when your roots are too greasy to go unnoticed and you don't have the time or resources to wash, dry and style your hair, this product will do the trick.

    Admittedly, it is a product that you have to use a few times before you get the hang of and it has an 'old-lady perfume' smell when you first spray it, but the smell does go away after a few minutes. The dry shampoo comes out as a white powdery substance that you let it sit a couple minutes and then brush out. If your hair is dark like mine, it may look a little dull afterwards, which is why the company suggests following up with their Refreshing Mist.

    For the price, the speed of use and the portability of the product, I think its a great option. I have also never had a problem with the TRESemme spray bottle clogging, unlike with the more expensive brands like Ojion.

    I recommend it, yes. Is it my favorite? No.
    I'had it for a couple of months and only used it a handfull of times. I'm not a fan of the smell, but then again, I'm very picky about smells. It did it's job, it got rid of the oily look of my hair, however, I found my hair looked a bit powdery. I brushed and brushed hoping the powder would get brushed away, but it did not, not fully anyway. I recently went from light brown to dark brown and feel on the darker hair it's just not as good. Having said that, I do feel on lighter hair it would work best.
    The container does suggest you follow with the Fresh Start Refreshing Mist. I will buy the spray and try it again, hopefully this will help with the powdery loo

    I have dark brown hair, I usually spray tthe top of my head where i get the most oily. i ONLY use this for emergency situations when i dont realize how greast my hair really is and i need to get out of the house. Not crazy about the smell. When you spray it does turn my hair white. i wait a few minutes like the instructions says then i brush it out. Initially i thought brushing it out would make me more greasy but it didnt. This does the trick, it gets rid of the grease but i hate the way it makes my hair feel.

    Like i said, good for a quick fix, but obviously dont rely on it as i hate the way it makes my hair feel! only reason why i still use it is because its the only dry shampoo i found! any recommendations? send them my way!

    This is a great "toss it in your carry-on, or camping bag" product for when you are travelling and can't guarantee daily showers. It was a life saver for me this summer when I stayed at a cottage with no showers!

    You can't treat this product like a shower replacement however, it's not THAT incredible. But giving your hair a quick all over spray in the morning with this stuff will leave you feeling fresh and a little more 'put together' for your day.

    I put "You Betcha!" because I'm sure other girls will like this product a lot of more than I did.
    Now saying that, I didn't hate this product, it isn't horrible.
    This is the first dry shampoo I have bought and it does seem to work, to a certain point.
    I would spray it on and my hair looks non-greasy and clean but I found that throughout the day my bangs would just get greasy again (in the afternoon).
    I use this when I really cannot take a shower but I almost always put my bangs back when I use it.
    If I can manage to take a shower or I can even just wash my hair, I prefer to do that than to use this.
    Once this runs out I will more than likely try out a different dry shampoo.
