Salon Grafix Play It Big Volumizing Dry Shampoo, Black

I've been using it for about a year. It allows me to go longer between hair color. Provides great volume. definitely a great product.

I haven't found a dark hair dry shampoo I liked, including this one. The first time I used this product I was in the bathroom and black film was left all over the floor and countertops. Also realized anytime I touched my head I would have black residue on my hands. So the next time I tried it I sprayed my hair outside. I realize it wasn't the right product for me. I threw it out.

Over the past year, I have been trying different dry shampoos and decided to share my experience in hopes that it will help others find the right one for their hair.Relevant about me: I have twin babies and don't have time to shower and wash my hair in the mornings like I used to. I quickly found that even though I showered and washed my hair every night, by morning my hair was somewhat oily and needed refreshing. Here began my quest to find a dry shampoo that worked for me. I have shoulder length, straight, fine, color treated blonde hair and I'm in my early 30's.The product:Salon Grafix, Play It Big - This was the latest one I've tried and is by far the best (and most expensive.... Stocked up at Harris Teeter because they had $3 off coupons attached to the bottles which originally cost $10 a bottle). This brand gives the options of color tinted shampoo, and I have used the Blonde color and also the clear.How I use it: I usually pull up most of my hair with a clasp, spray the roots, use flat iron, let down a little more of my hair, spray the roots, use flat iron, and keep repeating until I've sprayed and styled all my hair. It looks pretty good all day and doesn't need refreshing which is nice.What I like: It works pretty well. It touts that it increases volume, and while I have not notice an increase, I will say that it does not leave my hair flat so that's good. I like the blonde color and it blends well and sometimes helps even to cover my darker roots if they start showing. The clear works well too, though I must say that it isn't really clear because it is powder and powder is going to be white if it isn't colored. I imagine if I had dark hair, the white powder would be more of an issue and I would want to try the brown or black powder (but of course I haven't so I can only imagine that it would help with blending in the powder with dark hair). The smell is so-so. Not bad, not good. I like that it isn't too strong so it doesn't smell like chemicals all day. I will say that strangely the clear seems to smell stronger than the blonde colored one.What I don't like: While this works the best of all the ones I've tried, it still doesn't give the perfect feel of freshly washed hair (hey, we can dream, can't we?). It is best to spray lightly and then add more if needed. There have been a few times when I've added too much and it seems to make my hair chalky and slightly stiff. Also, I wish it smelled better.After weighing these good and bad points, I give it 4 stars. It is the one I'm currently using and I like it, but I will still probably try some others.In case you're interested, here are the other brands I've tried. You can find a more in depth review that I've done of these on their amazon product pages.Pantene dry shampoo - Worst one I've tried. Didn't refresh hair. Smelled awesome though.Tresemme dry shampoo - A little better than the Pantene. Refreshed somewhat but didn't last all day. Didn't smell as good as Pantene, but had a pleasant smell.Suave dry shampoo: This was the one I used before finding SG. It worked well, but the smell was AWFUL.

Excellent hair care product; will definitely purchase again.

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!!!! but too pricey!

Great Product!
