Reddit mentions of Freeman Psssst! Dry Shampoo, Volume & Fullness for Normal/Oily Hair, 5.3 oz

My hairdresser friend gave me some tips for helping my hair to grow out and I will just pass them on to you: take your vitamins and consider adding biotin into the mix. Minimize your hair washing to 2-3 times a week, she suggested this dry shampoo between washings. Try to let your hair down as often as you can, trying it up can stress your hair and cause breaks. Deep condition your hair a couple times a month with coconut oil, you can wrap your hair up under a shower cap amd let it soak in.

I really like Pssssst. It is inexpensive and gets the job done. It also seems to brush out easier than other ones I have tried.

I don't think you really need to spring for it. I got the cheapest one available at Ulta on recommendation from one of the girls who worked there and it works just fine. You said somewhere that you have poofy hair naturally - I do, too. The brand of dry shampoo that I get doesn't poof up my hair at all. It just gets rid of grease at the roots and makes it not smelly. And it was only $3 at Ulta.

Dry Shampoo does wonders when you're at the 1 or 2 day getting oily stage - it usually gets me another 12 hours out of a wash. I have really fine hair that gets frizzy when I wash too often. Also, when you're in a pinch, just spraying some normal hairspray on your roots & brushing it through can get rid of some oil.

Also, finding a good stylist & maybe spending a little extra money every 6 weeks or so on a haircut helps too - a good stylist can help you choose a style good for your face shape and cut some great layers in your hair that makes it easy to care for and give it lots of cute movement. Also, they can work with your callicks :)

The problem with dry shampoos is that their effect seems to change depending on your hair. I tried a couple that seemed to make my hair worse despite having overall good reviews.

For me, personally (short, relatively straight hair, a little greasy, med-brown), the two that have worked best for me are:

• Pssssst! Instant Dry Shampoo. It's a little perfumey, but if I avoid spraying it on the front part of my hair, it doesn't bother me much. You can get it for $5-$8 a lot of places. Probably the cheapest you'll find and one of the few that I've tried that didn't give me a headache.
  
• Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo with Oat Extract. It's a pretty gentle formula and despite a fairly strong smell, it doesn't agitate my sensitive sense of smell. Some people that prefer more floral smells seem to find it weird smelling but once it's brushed out, I don't even smell it. Warning, the aerosol spray comes out at a million miles an hour.
  
  Another option is baby powder, which smells nice... but if you have darker hair, it can be hard to brush it all out so it doesn't have a greying effect. I've also found it creates static in my hair. I've heard of others suggesting unsweetened cocoa powder if you have darker hair, loose face powder for medium brown hair, and cornstarch or finely ground oats (I'd imagine you'd want to avoid instant) for medium to lighter hair. I haven't personally tried any of those last three so proceed with caution. If any of them work for you, though, it'd be cheap and natural!

I've used Batiste and Psssssst extensively, and I tried Not Your Mother's a few times. Of the three I'd say Psssssst works the best for me, and the other two seem about the same.

Batiste is definitely the most powdery, so that may be a problem depending on your hair color. I also agree with the other poster about Batiste making my hair look less greasy versus others making it look freshly washed.

I've started working out before going to the office, and am in a similar situation without a shower. Here's what's helped me.

• Body wipes. I currently use these. One for the pits & ladybits, and one for everywhere else (arms, chest, neck, etc).
  
• A good spray of gold bond, and fresh deodorant.
  
• Dry shampoo - either in a spray or powder. Just make sure you give your hair a good ruffle afterward so you don't get powdery spots.
  
• Headbands are a godsend! Especially with a ponytail.
  
  Good luck!

I like Pssst!. It makes my hair super soft and clean smelling/feeling.
