REVIEW: BUMBLE & BUMBLE DRY SHAMPOO



I don't use dry shampoo often but when I do I am very picky with what I use- I'm very picky with hair care in general because I have long, think, frizzy black hair. I don't style my hair often but when I do, I do it on a Friday and I don't wash it till Sunday night, you know to keep the style my hair has. In between those days, dirt, oil and other unnecessary chemicals that can cause dullness accumulates in your hair. To avoid that, I use dry shampoo. 

Dry shampoo is a hair product that you put on your dry hair to eliminate dirt, grease/oil in your hair without washing your hair wet. Dry shampoo is basically like our regular shampoo, only its more convenient. 

Bumble and Bumble's Pret-a-powder Tres Invisible Dry Shampoo, according to its product description, absorbs oil and sweat from roots to end, leaving hair slightly scented- with no trace of white residue. It also have UV filters that protect hair against drying effects of the sun. 
To use: shake well and hold 10-12 inches away from hair and spray. With your hands or a brush, distribute products from roots to end. 

What really caught me with this dry shampoo is the fact that it doesn't leave a white cast. I have a super black hair so any dry shampoo that leaves a white cast is a no-go for me cause it will look like a) dandruff 2) white hairs. 

When I received mine in the mail, I wasn't really sold on the product since I already have my favorite dry shampoo which is the Living Proof Volume Blast Dry Shampoo. My expectations were there but I was skeptical if it really will do what it says it would do. 


Day one of Bumble and Bumble and I was impressed. My hair wasn't that oily but I see my roots getting some oil. When I use the product the first time, I was happy, that one, it doesn't leave any white cast, and two, it eliminates oil. I also notice that it gives my hair an extra shine in a very healthy way. When I brushed my hair, I did not get that powdery feeling on my fingers unlike when I use Batiste dry shampoo. 

Day two and I notice my hair wasn't as oily as I thought it would. With other dry shampoo, day two would mean my hair having more oil and dirt. Could it be that the Bumble and Bumble dry shampoo's effect lasted 24 hours? The product doesn't claim it could but I have a feeling. 
After spraying the dry shampoo, my hair felt cleaner. Like day one, it eliminated oiliness on my roots and gave my hair a shiny, healthy glow. I also noticed that it makes my hair smoother and my hair strand is feels thinner, mind you i have thick hair. 

Day three. By this time, I usually gets really uncomfortable because my hair starts to feel heavy, dirty thick and oily. But not today, and I have Bumble and Bumble Dry Shampoo to thank that for. Like it did the first time, it eliminated grease/unnecessary oil on my hair left it shiny and glow-y. My hair felt clean and smelled good. My hair was kind of flat, which I know will happen plus the dry shampoo doesn't claim to add volume unlike the Living Proof. 

Day three
Right: No Dry Shampoo (little bit oily and grease-y
Left: Sprayed with Dry Shampoo (eliminates oil and hair looks healthier

My final thoughts, did it do what its suppose to do? YES. would I recommend it? 100%. And to be honest, it exceeded my expectations and I know this is still to early to say but I like it better than my Living Proof, only because it makes my hair feel lighter, cleaner and it gives my hair that extra shine without looking greasy.

It is available on Ulta, Sephora and Bumble and Bumble website.
