I bought this on the high recommendations I've read here. This is the first time I've used a dry shampoo so I wasn't sure what to expect. I have naturally curly hair and blow dry it straight, so if I can get another day or so without having to do the whole process, it's great. The product definitely has an overpowering smell when you first spray it on - definitely something you shouldn't do in a small bathroom. once it settles in, it does a good job of soaking up the oils and leaving a lighter scent. I have dark hair so it does leave the white coating on the roots, so i use a damp cloth on the front of my hair to get out the residue, the rest brushes out. while it definitely does not replace the full shampoo/blow dry routine, it does stretch it out by a day or so. So while not life-changing, it is definitely a product to have around for those days where you really don't have the time. And compared to other brands, the price is awesome.
