I am the type of person who has to wash my hair everyday. Nothing is more gross to me than my dirty hair lying on my back or rubbing up against my face so dry shampoo was hard for me. Most of the dry shampoos have a whitish color to them and if you don't brush it out well enough you will look as though you've spray painted your hair to look older. After a very long search I found Rene Furterer Naturia dry shampoo. It's a little pricy as shampoos go but well worth the money. I did a little experiment to see how far I could take it and how well my hair would hold up and I made it 5 days with just the dry shampoo and daily straightening. I may have been able to go longer but I was starting to gross myself out! It definitely soaks up the oils and residue the day leaves behind and smells pretty good too. Definitely recommend it.

I love this stuff.... just don't use too much because the smell can get a little overwhelming. Like everything else, use in moderation!
I love it because it gives me another day or two between washes. I HATE washing my hair because it takes me so long to dry and style it, so I avoid doing it at all costs! So yeah this stuff is awesome.
It's a nice consistency and isn't too heavy or anything. Love it!

I agree with a lot of reviews that it smells a little funky, but it's not terrible or anything, and it works really well so i can deal with the scent. I put so much crap in my hair anyways so it totally gets covered up.
Yeah just spray it in, comb through (any powdery substance will work its way in) and you will have non-greasy hair! A fresh slate for the day.
Beats the hell out of washing my hair every day...but obviously don't get in the habit of using it for multiple days in a row or it will get pretty nasty:)

Tresemme fresh start dry hair shampoo perfect for color-treated hair - 5.7 oz

Reduces the need to wash as frequently, which prevents color from fading and volumizes oily and straight hair. read more...

Okay, this didn't get the best reviews on Amazon, but I truly believe that is because people don't understand what it does or how to use it. It's not going to make your hair clean and fresh - obviously! Only washing it for real will do that.
What it does is the powder in it absorbs the oil in your hair. It doesn't eliminate it because you're not washing it...so your hair won't LOOK greasy but it also won't feel all the way clean.
It will allow you to restyle without washing, and will even add al little volume.
I think it's awesome! I use it all the time.
