So if you're like me, you like to go a day or two between washing your hair.
Which is definitely healthy for your hair and scalp. But I for one, definitely experience oilyness.
I've tried a new different dry shampoos and I'm here to give a little review on powder vs spray.

The first one I tried was Cake's powder (not pictured). I found it left ALOT of buildup. Like if I scratched my scalp I would get residue from the powder cakes up in my nails. One thing I liked about it was you could get brown color so it wasn't really noticeable in my brown hair.
Next I tried Cake spray. I found this did nothing for my hair. Didn't give it any body and didn't absorb oil. However they have a limited edition one, sweet chilli I think? And it smelt amazing so I used it as a hair perfume haha.
Next I tried KMS spray, and it's hands down been one of the best products I've used on my hair. Totally absorbing and add body to oily hair. Definitely my favorite of any dry shampoo.
Now I ran out, and the Chatters I went to doesn't carry this brand at this location, I needed a dry shampoo badly so I decided to try this Caviar dry shampoo. (Pictured). Since I liked their leave in conditioner.
Must say I'm not a fan. First off the bottle looks like it would contain some liquid like a serum, nope it's powder. Which spills out the cap while you shake. It will also leave any brown hair with a whiteish tint which I do not enjoy. I will say it does seem to be absorbing the oil tho.

Thoughts on these products or your own faves?

I don't know much about the products you mentioned, however, I know that Dove has a dry shampoo and I love it. It's very light and even though when you spray it comes out white it definitely blends into the hair after kind of fluffing it in. (I only say that cause I have red hair and if there was a white cast itd look pretty funny.) I think it does a good job with absorbing oils and adding a bit of body. My only qualm with it is you have to hold the nozzle all the way down to see any product and sometimes it can be a little hard to tell if there's any product coming out of it at all. So because of that sometimes you might get bursts of white in one area instead of an even spray. (I hope that made sense)
