Product Review: Suave Dry Shampoo

Last week I did a beauty post on dry shampoo. I highlighted KMS as my favorite brand, but in the comments section, several of you strongly recommended Suave dry shampoo. Knowing what beauty mavens you all are, I decided to give it a try! Plus the Suave dry shampoo only being $4 didn't hurt :)

I instagrammed a pic of my just-purchased Suave dry shampoo, posted to Facebook and immediately received even more comments- you all were in love with the product! I couldn't wait to try it.

I have been using it for the past several days which I feel is enough to pass judgement. Based off my criteria outlined in my previous post, here is my assessment:

• How well does it absorb the oil and dirt? As in, can you go the whole day grease-free?
• When used lightly on roots only, it worked great. However, if you spray your whole head, as one reader commented, it left my hair sticky and waxy. I sprayed it on 2nd day hair hoping to get a 2nd day of wearing my hair down out of it and no dice. My hair has been in a bun since 10am :(.
• Is it light and invisible? Or is it heavy and leaves a chalky residue?
• Depends on the volume you use. When I used just a quick spray on my roots- fine. But with a heavier application, it left my hair feeling waxy.
  
• How does it smell?
• It smells great! Very light and doesn't compete with my perfume.

So as you can see, I'm giving Suave dry shampoo a mixed review. I'll keep using it for light usage but not for heavy usage. That being said, there is one important thing I'd like to note. Everyone's hair is different and reacts differently to products. My hair is extremely fine so that may have been the reason for the reaction. Perhaps for ladies with thicker hair, its perfect :)

I think for my next experiment, I'll try another reader suggestion, Oscar Blandi dry shampoo :) Any other ones out there I should try?
