Let’s first get my silly trouble with this packaging out of the way. This is a powder dry shampoo that comes in a shaker “bottle” much like a standard refill for a salt shaker. Nothing fancy and nothing complicated, but somehow just shaking the powder on to my head and trying to work it in just didn’t seem like the best way to apply it. Don’t laugh. I really did try it that way. J In fact, I tried every way I could think of to dispense this powder on my hair. Putting it on a brush and brushing it through, sprinkling it in my hand and dumping it on my head in spots, and anything else that might sound utterly ridiculous to do with your hair. Seriously, stop laughing. I know, I sound like a complete idiot, but I truly could not figure this out! One day I just decided to throw caution to the wind and dump a small puddle into my hand and finger comb through my hair. Well, wouldn’t you know that’s just about what the directions say to do! Yeah. There are directions and yes, label reading queen that I am, I failed to find them! J So, mystery solved! Shake some of the powder into your palms and work it into the hair. I feel like I deserve some sort of breakthrough technological discovery award for that one…especially since it’s written right on the container! J So, now that you’ve had a good chuckle, let’s move on to how it works, shall we?
Obviously there must have been some reason I kept trying so hard to figure out how to dispense this wonder powder. Indeed! There is a glorious white powder…wait, this sounds like it could be going down a different kind of road. J Let’s try again…there is a fantastic dry shampoo inside that will eliminate greasiness without altering a healthy shine! And though it is white, there is literally no white cast left behind…even on my super dark roots! I find other dry shampoos often may not exactly leave a white residue, but there can be kind of a gray cast left behind. Not cool, but not with Acure! It is also not sticky or tacky – in fact, you really can’t feel the powder at all! It contains Argan Stem Cells and CoQ10, which boost keratin and retain moisture, which helps keep hair healthy and strong…and not looking like dried out straw. Not only that, it doesn’t have a noticeable scent, which is fantastic in my book. It is hands down the best dry shampoo for refreshing and reviving hair! J
If you are looking for something to help revive day or two old hair, I would definitely recommend the Acure Argan Stem Cell + CoQ10 Dry Shampoo. I have found nothing better! And though I had trouble figuring out how to use it, there are directions right on the bottle. I just shake a bit into my palms, rub them together and, with my head held upside down to make things easier, I simply run my hands through the hair, concentrating on the roots. If needed, I’ll do this a few times until my hair looks the way I want. This dry shampoo can take care of some pretty dirty lookin’ hair if need be! J I wouldn’t say it’s the best for adding volume, but I find that whatever volume I had after initially styling my hair will pretty much return once I use Acure’s Dry Shampoo. I think one of my favorite things about this dry shampoo is that it doesn’t leave your hair looking flat and dull like many others. Your hair looks healthy and natural – literally like it was just washed! It’s fantastic stuff, and one generously sized shaker of Acure’s Argan Stem Cell + CoQ10 Dry Shampoo will last ages, unlike those spray cans that run out after about one week of use! You need to try Acure’s Dry Shampoo!!!
Acure’s website sells the Argan Stem Cell + CoQ10 Dry Shampoo for $12.99, but you can also find it at Whole Foods (I think mine was $9.99 there) or at other online retailers like VitaCost and iHerb.
