I Dew Care Dry Shampoo - Tap Secret Duo Gift set, With Black Ginseng, Non-aerosol, Benzene-free, Mattifying Root Boosting Powder, No White Cast, Formulated without Gluten, Travel Size, 2 Count, 0.48Oz

I have oily hair, so if I skip even one day of washing, my hair gets greasy, flat, and shiny at the roots. One day I had to rush out for work and didn’t have time to wash my hair, so I tried using thisFirst impression: the powder is very fine and easy to blend into the scalp. I applied it with my fingers and brushed through lightly. Within minutes, the greasy, limp look was gone — my hair looked clean, fresh, and even had a bit of volume, just like it had been washed.The scent is light and pleasant, not overpowering like some aerosol dry shampoos. Best of all, there was no visible white residue as long as I blended it in properly. Honestly, this product is a lifesaver for busy mornings or humid days when your hair just won’t cooperate.

I've used dry shampoo for years! Tried them all including various brands in a can, make it yourself, etc. Every time, within a day or two, my hair was greasy yet again and I felt like I was wasting money. I prefer to wash my hair once a week and nothing would let me last that long. Since I trust Korean brands for skincare, I went looking for hair care and found this little gem! A little does go a long way because the application can be so precise. A few dabs per hair sectioning, let it sit and do its magic for a minute or two, the rub it in! If there's a white cast still left on your scalp, you've used too much. Less really is more. You can always add a dab or two if needed. Comb or brush through, then style as desired and you're done! In a pinch, I've been able to wait a couple of days between applications, apply again and prolong the hair style even further. It is drying and to give the illusion of freshly washed and styled hair, I rub a little finishing oil in my palms, lightly finger comb through my hair and it's good as new. Well worth the money, portable for travel, just an overall great product.

This product works well for the task. It took some getting used to but I do like how this product has a puff/cushion to put the product on and use it on the hair. It's compact, quick and efficient. You don't need a lot of product to make it work on your hair, either.The cons are that there can be white residue with excess product use, so be wary of that. It's simple enough to keep brushing your hair with your fingers and the white residue will disappear, though.Another con is that it leaves a certain texture in your hair. A positive may be that your hair looks like the volume has grown but the con will be that, even though it looks like washed hair, the texture is stiff and stiffer if you use too much product.My final con may be a personal thing - my scalp gets pretty dry wherever this product gets used.Overall, good for the price, does its job and gives hair volume. Downside is the residue with excess powder usage, hair can be stiff, and an itchy scalp.

Best product for oily hair. I did a blowout and used too much product so it ended up looking greasy. I applied this and it 100% solved the issue. After 24+ hours, I have yet to need to reapply.

First off, this is a great product. The application goes on easy, it doesn't leave much residue, and quickly covers any oiliness at my part.I am however confused by the color. The "Blonde" is WAY more red than it is blonde. It will not work for an ash / bleach blonde person. It's not the same color as the blonde product in the picture.I have a natural red undertone with blonde highlights, so I can blend (hide) how dark the color is, but I don't really want my roots to appear THAT red in the first place. I also have fair skin and it leaves a reddish tint around my hairline.Would have given it 4 or 5 stars had the color been better. Needs more shade options

UPDATE 11/24/23 so you know I’m so invested in sharing our love for this 😂 and if it helps even one person, mama, daughter, etc., I’ll be happy: we still LOVE THIS product and have repurchased one time so it lasted about 6 weeks for us regularly doing the same routine as below. She plays sports formally 4 days a week and is very active most other days or has gym at least. As a reminder, she’s usually very greasy and is in the throes of hormones from starting puberty so extra sweat and grease 😅. Also, awesome money-saving/product-panning tip (IYKYK): I realized the applicator/puff is refillable so I had a lightbulb moment when thinking about WHY this product was so effective. I began thinking of what I can refill it with (possibly at a cost savings because even though we loved it, frequent repurchases and costs were imminent) and started looking at powder dry shampoo of all kinds. I was about to purchase the expensive beloved bumble & bumble dry shampoo (because it lasts forever), or other brands I hadn’t tried before. Then, while doing my makeup one day, it dawned on me that the Tap secret powder texture is very similar to the Elf HD powder which I love and use religiously, even over other more expensive products. Like a huge nerd, I then researched the ingredients in dry shampoo powders of all kinds/brands, loose setting powders, etc., and realized that the common ingredient was often silica which, duh, absorbs oil. I am sure that so many of us have tons of loose finishing powders laying around that we may not have loved for our face (banana powder for me) or cheaper products that we do love that we could fill this applicator with at a cost savings (Elf HD powder for me, which is half the price of the original Tap secret). I have now filled the original applicator with a mix of banana powder and the HD powder and Y’ALL 💡🤯. I will still repurchase and support this brand and product and to be fair, it is slightly more effective than the HD powder. Also, not all folks will be able to be compatible with banana powder color-wise (though I suggest mixing with cocoa powder and you might be 😭) or purchase the HD powder just for this (I always have the HD powder on hand so makes sense for me). BUT, the applicator is amazing and to be able to use up random setting powders in my vanity and save money? Freakin’ amazing.ORIGINAL REVIEW:Of course we all love freshly washed hair but sometimes it’s nice or necessary to prolong a hair wash! I wish I took day by day pictures of my daughter’s hair this week. I will preface this by saying that I am someone who is a little obsessive about appearance and especially hygiene and being and looking clean. I’m trying and have done well with trying not to push those tendencies on my daughter but she has entered sweaty, smelly puberty 💀.I have very dry, very curly hair so when I had my daughter who is now ten and has mostly straight hair that is prone to be oily, I had to learn how to best care for her hair as well. Her hair is often greasy by day two especially with sports and now puberty. It’s not that it looks bad but it’s not as nice as freshly washed. She always showers or bathes every day and cares for her skin, but it is nice to be able to skip a day or two a week of fully washing her hair, especially before bed. We live on the beach in a very humid climate but have cold/wet winter. In the summer, she washes her hair every night because of camp and swimming. Since it is hot outside, we can also do in the morning as well. In the fall and winter in our cold climate, we have to fully blow dry wet hair. I’ve tried every shampoo and conditioner combination, salicylic acid shampoo, nizoral, clarifying shampoo, no conditioner, conditioning the scalp, etc and have finally found the perfect solution in combination with this product! I have tried - and hated - almost every aerosol dry shampoo on her hair. Of course some of them are nice but they get expensive and the cans don’t last long. Travel is a pain and expensive to buy travel size. They often make it look like she has dandruff as well and she hates how it has a white cast. She has dark blonde hair.We got her this dry shampoo and she did her usual full shampoo and conditioner with everything else on Sunday. She sat with microfiber plop in for one hour then we blow dried completely. Monday her hair still looked great so she took a “body bath” only and I lightly used this puff for the first time on Monday. The reviews said it works best if you use dry shampoo BEFORE the hair gets oily. I did this and brushed it from roots to tips with a boar bristle brush. I thought that was a great tip! Tuesday her hair still looked so fresh that she took a “body shower” and even had soccer practice! It still looked amazing after practice and since it was late, she took a quick body shower and I blew dry her damp hair from sweating. She knew she would have to get up early before school on Wednesday to wash her hair. However on Wednesday, her hair still looked so good that she just washed her body again! Here we are on Thursday morning and she just went to school today with her hair down again!!! I haven’t applied any of the dry shampoo since a couple puffs each on Monday and Tuesday!!!! Absolutely zero dandruff appearance, no smell, zero grease and she still has lovely shine and body! I will say if you use too much, it can cause a chalky, almost hard to brush texture and a white cast but it shakes out with fingers if that makes sense. Darker haired people may want to be careful at first. I was nervous on Tuesday that I’d used too much but it was easy to correct and none of the issues lasted. Im so blown away by this product! I don’t know or care if it is the actual product or the puff applicator but it is incredible and will most definitely repurchase again and again! It will be easy to travel with as well and great for school or work bags. But as I’ve learned, if you use the right amount before developing the oiliness or greasiness, you likely won’t need to apply again! Side note but she hasn’t developed any pimples near her hairline this week and she usually does get one here and there with the start of puberty. I am thinking the hair becoming greasy often made her more prone to pimples!Unreal!If anyone is interested in the total routine that I’ve found for her hair, I’ll post below. She has pretty thick, mostly straight, dark blonde hair and we have struggled with oily hair, greasy appearance even on freshly washed hair at times and thick flaking like she used to get with “cradle cap” as a baby and toddler. Her crown and hairline get the greasiest. The absolute best combo now includes this dry shampoo but her hair wash routine is wash thoroughly (scalp and hair) with 3% salicylic acid shampoo (I use the Walgreens brand) and let sit on scalp for a few minutes. Rinse thoroughly. Shampoo for second time with silicone and mineral oil free shampoo (currently using the Pantene bamboo line which we both love) and rinse thoroughly. Conditioner lightly (maybe a teaspoon for her thick shoulder length hair) but be sure to massage into scalp. She is currently using my Shea Moisture conditioner but we use so little it doesn’t weigh either of our hair down. A dry scalp can over produce oil to try and over compensate. Since I started doing that it reduced a bit. Make sure to rinse thoroughly! Also the blow dry completely trick is important.All of this now with the dry shampoo is HOLY GRAIL!The rest of the week, we shampoo her only once with the bamboo shampoo so SA shampoo only once a week. It would be too drying otherwise. It’s nice that the bamboo shampoo is one that we both can use. Before this dry shampoo, we still washed 4-5 times a week or suffered the consequences in a greasy up-do ugh. Now we have the freedom to shampoo less if convenient especially in the colder months!Im so grateful to be able to help my daughter find her holy grail routine as she enters puberty and feel so happy to have found this product! Can’t recommend this product enough!
