Bumble and Bumble Dry Shampoo is the latest offering from the famous hair care line loved by celebrities and high end hairdressers. I adore their thickening spray so I thought I’d give their dry shampoo a try as well. What I liked about it before I even bought it was the fact that it is available in five different colors: White, blondish, red, brown, and black. Many people claim dry shampoos leave a trace of noticeable powder so buying it in a color that matches your hair seems like one way to avoid this problem.
I have dark brown hair, so I decided to get both the brown and the black hair powder to see which one suited my hair better. Bumble and Bumble Dry Shampoo contains oat flour and corn starch and I always prefer natural ingredients whenever possible. You do have to be careful applying this due to the color… don’t put it on when you are wearing a white shirt! The black one in particular left colored powder everywhere. I recommend covering your shoulders and the floor with a dark towel before applying this product to avoid staining. I’d also be hesitant to wear a light colored shirt on the days that I use this.
Bumble and Bumble Dry Shampoo does not seem to leave as much of a clean appearance in my hair as other dry shampoos do, but this product is excellent at providing body to my hair. A few days after washing my hair, not only does it look greasy but it is also quite slick and flat against my head. What the Bumble and Bumble hair powder does is really help give some volume to my hair between washings and helps me create the illusion of more hair. It also helps blend away my roots as I tend to push the limit in terms of time elapsed between hair colorings.
The red Bumble and Bumble hair powder can also be used to give lighter hair colors a little bit of a red cast, which is a really neat way to change your color a bit without any long-term commitment.
The main drawback of this product is the price. At around $40, it isn’t cheap, although that is to be expected with a high end line like Bumble + Bumble. For all of the reasons outlined in this review, I don’t think this product is suited to every day use as a dry shampoo, but it is certainly worth having in your hair arsenal for special occasions. Bumble and Bumble Dry Shampoo is perfect when you need to transform dirty hair into something special on short notice.
