Drybar Detox Dry Shampoo 1.4 Ounce Travel Size

The smell is a little intense, like bad hairspray, but the product works great. I was a dedicated Umberto girl, and when they discontinued their dry shampoo I panicked. I’ve tried several that didn’t even come close to what I had. Umberto is a very white and texture creating product that has a tolerable powder smell. This Drybar shampoo smells worse and isn’t white, but it gives just as much body and texture, and honestly I can go even longer between shampoos with just one application than Umberto allowed. I did a 6 day stretch with one Drybar application the morning of day 3, which was admittedly hygienically too long, but I was still impressed. It does cause an orangey colored buildup between the product and your natural oils as the days go by (I notice this even on an every-other-day hair wash routine), but it washes out quite easily. If it wasn’t for the strong smell and astronomically high pricetag, this would earn a solid 5 stars.

I usually use Scruples dry shampoo and am happy with that. I was just looking for a travel-sized dry shampoo so tried this one. It does the job, but it is so overly perfumed I can barely bring myself to use it. The smell stays too, it doesn't dissipate. It totally out-smells any other fragrance you might be wearing. Also, several people in my family have allergies. I can't imagine they'd be too pleased with me if I brought this traveling with them. I guess I will have to keep looking for a travel size in another brand.
