Review: TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo for oily/straight to normal hair


Price: around 6$ for 161 g

The claims:

TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo is the perfect solution to clean hair without water anytime. The unique formula, with Mineral Clay and Citrus, refreshes your hair by removing oil and odour while injecting volume. Just a quick spay transforms lifeless, limp hair into clean, fresh hair full of bouncy body. It also helps to maintain hair color with less washing. With TRESemmé Fresh Start, refresh your hair anytime, anywhere.


How to use:
Shake vigorously before use and in between spray bursts. Spray lightly and evenly on dry hair, holding 8-12 inches from head and leave in for 1-2 minutes. Brush out, then style as usual.

First of all, here are some pictures of my hair before using the product:


While I had the dry shampoo on my hair for about 2 minutes:


And here is the final result:


 Pros:
  • subtle and fresh scent
  • quickly absorbs oil
  • adds texture to hair
  • adds volume to hair
  • I like that it's an aerosol instead of a spray
  • inexpensive!
  • excellent alternative to wet shampoo, especially if you have colored hair
Cons:
  • it's annoying to always have to shake during the process
  • hair didn't feel totally clean (it doesn't replace a good shower)
  • if you don't cover your shoulders, you will end up with powder all over your shirt and arms
  • you have to thoroughly brush your hair after letting the product stand for 2 minutes, otherwise you will end up with white powder residues
  • the package is smaller than a normal bottle of shampoo, so it will not last long (I have already almost finished my can of Algemarin Dry Shampoo)

What I think:

I know I might be repeating myself, but overall, it's a good dry shampoo. I would definitely repurchase it, because it's a great time saver, and as I stopped washing my hair everyday about 2 months ago, I absolutely don't want to go back to this bad habit. Maybe there's better dry shampoos out there, but this one does what it is claimed to do, and it's so inexpensive!

Repurchase or recommend? yes

  4. Thanks for the review! i agree that dry shampoos don't match up to a good shower but it does help for when you're not supposed to or can't wash your hair.

    I was at the store today and I forgot to see if they had that!! I was looking at Tresemme stuff too!

  6. Hi Gaby, thanks for following my blog, I'm following you back!

    I love dry shampoo. Of course it doesn't replace a good shower, but when you're in a hurry, it's great. Your pics really show the difference!

  8. I was eying that Tresemme dry shampoo so I'm glad you made a review of it :)
    But does dry shampoo really differ that much than regular baby powder? Have you ever tried to use a bit of baby powder?
