My hair is not great - to say the least. Fine and limp and, to add insult to injury, oily. It's also blondish and getting darker every year. I've tried many dry shampoos trying for the ultimate (for me) every-other-day-wash. Some of them worked but made my hair look weird - sort of grayish and with way too much static - if I didn't put it in a pony I looked like a dandelion. Batiste actually makes my hair look blonder - adds volume and my hair is shiny and manageable.Shake the can well and keep shaking it while you're using it - it seems to work better that way. I'm careful to not use too much and only spray on the roots - wait a few minutes and then brush the heck out of my hair to get the powder out. It does have a scent but isn't objectionable - on the flowery side.I can't say if it will do the same for anybody else but I let one of my girlfriends try it and she "borrowed" it in her suitcase somehow...
