Rave Review: Dove Invigorating Dry Shampoo

I know there has been so much talk lately about dry shampoos and it seems that every haircare company has 'attempted' to conquer the perfect formula. Many end up with huge fails leaving a trail of frustrated every-other-day-washers. I will admit at first I wasn't going to buy into this fad, but the buzz left it inevitable. I recently did a review on a dry shampoo  {TIGI Rockaholic Dry Shampoo} that I completely fell in love with, but I recently discovered a big fail and it was back to square one. The problem being, the nozzle works when it wants to and so it inconsistently is there for me. Which can't happen when you are two days unwashed and your greasy hair needs a fix.

I recently discovered the Dove Invigorating Dry Shampoo and after a week and a half of use it IS the best dry shampoo to date. Let me tell you why I love this drugstore gem.

First of all it works all the time. There is no nozzle failure, which might not seem like a big deal, but it is when that is the only way to get this type of product out of its container. The spray itself is quite alot of product so I suggest spritzing vs holding the nozzle. Which is great because it means a little goes a long way.

I also love the scent of this product, which is another huge factor when you are spraying it on your unwashed hair. You want to not only look like you are freshly washed, but you need to smell like you are too. This has the most amazing fresh scent. Bonus!

The flip side being that it needs to preform which is the most important I will admit. I wasn't disappointed at ALL. It is quick to absorb the oil and gives my hair that extra lift and bounce just as I had freshly washed it and it lasts throughout the day. Some products I find hold up for half the day or even a few hours before the hair begins looking oily and flat again. No worries with this product.

I also haven't noticed any product build up from this product, so it's safe to say that it washes away without any problems. Something I like to watch for when trying a new product. I also like to watch for any signs of extra dehydration. Something else to watch for when trying a new product that has alot of alcohol content in the ingredients.

It's always great when a drugstore product can replace a professional haircare product, because this means you will immediately save money which I am ALWAYS ok with. The Rockoholic Dry Shampoo is around the $20 a bottle mark whereas the Dove comes in at a brilliant $4 a bottle!! Great, right!!?

Downfalls? The only 'downfall' if you can call it that is the fact that the Dove is a 5oz bottle and the Rockaholic is a 6.3oz bottle, but for the price point I can overlook a slightly smaller product amount.

All in all I do recommend trying this dry shampoo. It is a diamond in the rough and really holds up against the professional brands!

ROCKAHOLIC Review

Today I want to discuss a product that has literally changed my life....ok well that might be a bit extreme, but it has changed the life that which my hair leads! I had never really bought into the whole dry shampoo epidemic that swept the plains of beauty land until now!!

Yes I am talking about Rockaholic Dirty Secret Dry Shampoo from TIGI. I remember wayyyy back in the day when TIGI first launched and their products were everywhere, you couldn't walk into a salon without seeing the colorful, sometimes controversial bottles! (I am talking about After Party!) I will admit that I was obsessed with this line when it first launched and they had alot of really great products, but after time like any major brand they had their moment with me and then I was on to the next. Since then I haven't really paid attention to what was going on within the line. That was until I was shopping one day and in the isle I noticed this dry shampoo and thought why not? The curiosity overtook the reluctant ex-cosmetologist in me.

I am soooo glad that I decided to give this type of product a try and with this brand in particular. I think TIGI does a really great job with these type of fad products. I have heard so many beauty gurus talk about all the dry shampoo they are trying and so many of them are more misses then hits. 

First of all props to TIGI for the packaging. I am a sucker for packaging, as I have said before I think it really adds an extra element to the product inside. Looking past the bad-a** packaging, it's what's inside that really matters with this one. It smells amazing and really does an amazing job of absorbing day old hair oils. It doesn't leave any weight on the hair, which is what I was concerned about with this type of product. Another bonus is that it doesn't leave any residue, which I have heard many of these dry shampoos doing. 

Another plus point to mention about this product is the mist. It's very fine and the product itself isn't wet once disbursed, which is a good thing if you are using it to absorb.

In theory this is a great product, because it cuts down on washing your hair too much which can in turn dry your hair out more, since most shampoos contain sulphates. 

This product comes in at a higher price point then most, but I think it's worth spending the money rather then trying to thumb through the many that sit on drugstore shelving. I highly recommend this product if you are someone looking for a good dry shampoo and haven't had any luck or maybe you are thinking about trying one and didn't know where to start!

Well that's all for now! I hope you enjoyed my little review and please let me know what dry shampoos you have tried and what's working for you!!
