Review: Psssssst Instant Dry Shampoo

Hi Lovelies! I'm sure many of you have already tried (and loved;) the product I'm writing about today! I know I'm a little late to this party, lol, but I have to tell you--this is one of those products that after using it you think, OMG, where have you been ALL MY LIFE?!?!

This isn't my first time writing about dry shampoos (you can see previous post here), but I can say this is probably hands down the best dry shampoo I've ever used or ever will use.
 via

For anyone who doesn't know what a "dry shampoo" is, the Kristen definition is this: "when you're too tired to actually wash your hair, spray a little in and your hair looks clean and new!" The way that Psssssst describes it is this:

An effective solution to transform dull dirty hair without washing. Contains a perfected amount of powder to absorb excess oil, eliminate odor and product build up while boosting volume.
  • Hair looks, feels, and smells freshly shampooed without the use of water.
  • Just spray, brush, and go

Pretty much the same thing;) It's also great if you work out during the day and don't have time to get a full shower before you leave the gym! Just spray to freshen up your hair!:)

I love this for a number of reasons: it's super convenient, it works, it smells good, and a little goes a long way. I actually received this in a subscription box (I can't remember which one at this point.. I *think* Beauty Army, but it may have been Birchbox) so I only got a sample size, but it has lasted quite a while!

How to use is simple: shake the can, hold 6-8 inches from your head and spray on hair. Make sure to lift the top sections and spray under layers too. I usually give it  minute or two to work it's magic then brush through and voila! Brand new hair!!

It's currently being sold at Walgreens for $6.29 ($4.19 if you have a Walgreens rewards card!:) so I would definitely purchase this again!

What dry shampoos do you like? Which ones do you think work best?

Dry Shampoo: Thoughts and Reviews

Hey Lovelies! I have something exciting to share with you tonight! So a few weeks ago on my Wednesday Q&A days, Minnie asked if I could review a dry shampoo. Now let me tell you, I was trying to use "dry shampoo" before it was actually an "in" thing to do. (This was back in the late 90s, early 2000s and it was called "baby powder" lol) The concept was the same... sprinkle/spray something on your hair that dries up the oil and grease so you can get away with day (or two.. or three, I won't judge;) old dirty hair.

from Suave Website
Now, I just got the cheap Suave brand at Walmart for about $3. I've had it for almost three weeks now, and have used it sporadically throughout the time. It's super simple to use! Shake the can, hold 8-10 inches away from head, and spray at the root/hairline where needed. It says to press hands on head if there's a white residue (you can also comb through it).

This is also a great product if you're sweaty from the gym and don't have time to shower before you have to run errands or something. A little spray and you're good as new!

I LOVE the smell of this. It smells citrus'y to me and very fresh! So the hair looks AND smells clean!

I did overdue it one day and it looked like I'd dyed my hair white! lol. But I was able to just rub it right in.

Overall, for the price, smell, convenience, and overall results achieved from this, I would definitely recommned the product. (sidenote, when I was younger, Suave was like THE ONLY product my mom would buy because it was so cheap. But it also was CHEAP in quality [personal opinion]. I believe it has come so far in the past 10 or so years that it is just as good as a lot of the more expensive brands).

Now! Here is the exciting part of the post! DivaMommyTweets of Mommy in the Making was kind enough to share with me her thoughts on the Victoria's Secret Dry Shampoo:

from VS website
So Sexy Style Clean & Go Dry Shampoo
Affordable at $14…smells like most things VS, sweet and girly.
Unlike others it doesn't leave a foggy haze after spraying it. It sprays pretty evenly so no need to focus just on greasy spots. I usually spray in two side parts and brush it through…again doesn't leave hair greasy if you over spray. Its light enough to leave hair stylable. Depending on how much you spray and how often you use it will obviously determine how long the bottle lasts. I use it about twice a week, not ubber-generous, and it lasts me ~3 months. One draw back, some bottle's sprayers break off so you're left with a full can…check the sprayer before you buy! Some VS are really nice if you bring back a light-use bottle and let you exchange for a new one if the sprayer breaks off.


Thanks so much, Diva! 

Now how about you? Have you tried a dry shampoo? What kind? What did you think?
