Dry Shampoo - Part 2

Shampoo for Oily Hair

What is a good shampoo for oily hair? It seems like store shelves are overflowing with shampoo for dry or damaged hair while those with oily hair have fewer options. That is frustrating because it is precisely people with oily hair who go through the most shampoo! You know how it goes- you wake up, wash your hair, and by the time the afternoon rolls around, your hair is looking slick and you’re trying to figure out how to fit another washing into your afternoon before you go out to dinner.

The problem with many shampoos on the market is that they are too moisturizing. Indeed many people put their hair through the rigors of coloring and heat styling so there is a very large market for this. However, even “regular” shampoos seem to have a number of ingredients that can leave hair looking greasy. When shopping for shampoo for oily hair, take a look inside the bottle. Is the shampoo clear and thin or creamy and thick? The texture can be a pretty good indication as to how heavy the shampoo is.

One ingredient you might want to look out for is panthenol. Panthenol helps to give fine hair a boost of volume without weighing it down and contributing to the greasy look. Also look for words on the label such as “gentle” or “clarifying”. Clarifying shampoos remove buildup that accumulates in hair over time thanks to repeated use of hair spray, gel, and other styling products as well as conditioner. This buildup can weigh hair down and make it look even more greasy than it actually is. You don’t have to use a clarifying shampoo every day but it is often recommended that those with oily hair use a clarifier once per week to help get rid of everything that has accumulated over the week and start fresh.

Dry shampoo is perhaps the best shampoo for oily hair. This is a waterless shampoo so it helps cut down on time spent in the shower as well as drying and styling. Shake on a little bit of this powder and comb it through your hair and watch as it absorbs all the grease and makes your hair look dry and clean. Of course you’ll still need to wash your hair with traditional shampoo regularly but a few shakes of dry shampoo can be a quick fix when your hair looks embarrassingly dirty. It’s a lot easier to use a bit of powder shampoo on your way out the door than it is to wash and dry your hair all over again. Batiste Dry Shampoo is a budget-friendly yet very effective option that also gives your hair a boost of volume. Rene Furterer Dry Shampoo is perfect if you are looking for a green product. Like regular shampoos, there are plenty of formulations to meet every type of hair need but unlike regular shampoo, any type of waterless shampoo is perfectly suited for oily hair.

There are plenty of options when it comes to shampoo for oily hair. Now you know what to look for so read those labels carefully and you are sure to find something that does the job!

Rene Furterer Naturia Dry Shampoo Review

Rene Furterer is a French hair care line that prides itself on using natural active ingredients in its products, such as essential oils. See below for a detailed company profile. Naturia Dry Shampoo is their powder shampoo offering, and one look at the ingredient list confirms that this product adheres to their line’s concept. It contains cornstarch and rice powder, silica, safflower oil, kaolin clay, and peppermint and basil essential oils.

This is one of the lighter dry shampoos on the market. It works best as a touch-up for after the gym or to freshen your hair after work before a night out. If you have significantly oily hair, I think this product is not strong enough to get the job done. See our dry shampoo reviews page if you are looking for something heavier. You would have to use so much of it that it would be obvious and visible. However, if you are looking for a natural product that only needs to serve light duty, Rene Furterer dry shampoo is ideal.

Naturia is a dry shampoo spray and like many dry shampoo sprays, it is easy to use up the entire bottle much faster than you intended. It is not uncommon to only get five or ten uses out of one of these bottles. The best approach is to spray a small amount to begin with, wait, comb through, and then determine if you need to add more. Spraying indiscriminately like you would with hairspray could leave you broke pretty quickly at about $25 a bottle.

One problem some people have with Naturia is the scent, but the scent does mellow with time. Rene Furterer prides itself on using only natural ingredients, and with a list that includes things like peppermint and orange oil, you might be expecting a refreshing and invigorating fragrance. Unfortunately, this has a very heavy smell in the beginning. However, it smells worst when it is being sprayed and the scent does fade quickly.

Is this product worth purchasing? If natural ingredients are very important to you and you are not planning to use it on the fifth day of not washing your hair, then yes, this is a good choice for you. But with so many other dry shampoos on the market, I think a lot of people might find something else that suits their needs better. For example, Batiste Tropical Dry Shampoo leaves behind a fun summery scent and costs less than half of Naturia. Bumble and Bumble dry shampoo is a little pricier but it gives hair a lot of great volume and really makes your hair look a lot cleaner. I’d take either of those over this product. But Rene Furterer gets lots of props for coming up with such a natural formula.

If you are looking to buy Rene Furterer Naturia Dry Shampoo, you can usually save some money by getting it on Amazon. They also have the travel size so you don’t have to commit to a full bottle until you know for sure it’s going to work well for you.

Rene Furterer Company Profile

Rene Furterer is a hair care company established by Rene Furterer himself in Provence. Their aim is to create hair care products that are as close to nature as possible. All of the products feature green packaging and plant-based ingredients. Their premise is simple: healthy hair comes from a healthy scalp. Rather than trying to treat damaged hair, they seek to prevent it by keeping the scalp in top shape. Their products are packed with vitamins and other botanical ingredients that promote healthy hair and, in turn, hair growth. They all feature essential oils which not only help the skin on the scalp but also lend a natural, fresh fragrance to the hair. The company started out small but is now owned by Laboratoires Pierre Fabre, which affords them a bigger budget for researching the very best botanical ingredients to use in their hair care products.

The Rene Furterer line includes a variety of organic shampoos and conditioners as well as dry shampoo. They also offer organic hair styling products such as wax and mousse. Their scalp treatments are among the best on the market thanks to Furterer’s focus on scalp health as the main factor in determining hair health and appearance. They also have several kits and gift sets which enable consumers to try several of their products at once.

One of their top selling products is Rene Furterer Naturia Dry Shampoo. This product is great for people who are environmentally conscious. It is a powder that takes the place of shampoo by absorbing oil from the hair. This product is not only full of natural ingredients but also has the added benefit of reducing the waste of water and electricity.
Another top seller is Rene Furterer Reactional Thin Hair Program. This is a three step program designed to help regrow hair. This is not created for those suffering from genetic hair loss or hair loss due to aging. Rather, it treats reactional hair loss, which is hair loss due to stress or hormonal factors such as pregnancy.

They have another 3-step kit designed to help fight frizzy hair. The Rene Furterer 3 Step Anti Frizz Kit features three organic products designed to be used in conjunction with one another. The shampoo and conditioner are to be followed up with serum which all work together to keep hair looking sleek and tamed on even the most humid days.

Rene Furterer is a salon brand that can also be found at high end retailers, including online. Their prices are toward the high end of the scale thanks to the research that goes into their formulations as well as the natural ingredients used.

Klorane Dry Shampoo Review

This review is of Klorane Extra Gentle Dry Shampoo With Oat Extract. This product has been around for ages and somehow I never got around to trying it until now. I have heard lots of good things about it from other people and in magazines throughout the years, so I thought I’d give it a go so I could add it to our list of dry shampoo reviews.

First, it was not that easy to find in stores. In Europe you can find it easily in pharmacies but not so in the U.S., although it is pretty easy to find online (see links below). It is in the mid-range for prices as far as dry shampoos go, around $15 or so. I was a bit disappointed in the size of the bottle I received for that price, but figured if the product was good enough, it would all be okay.

First, I found the pump spray a bit odd. It took me a few tries to get it to spray but eventually it worked. The smell is very subtle compared to some other dry shampoos I have tried. I found it to be very natural. In fact, the entire product is made with natural ingredients such as oat extract, which is a big bonus for people who don’t like adding unnecessary chemicals to their hair.

You are supposed to spray on some powder, let it sit a few minutes, and then brush. I followed the instructions exactly and it didn’t leave any white streaks or residue. Overall, I was pleased with the ease of use and the natural look it created. It didn’t do much in the way of volume but it did leave my hair looking a lot cleaner.

The effects of Klorane Dry Shampoo last about one day, so if you plan to wait a few days between washings, you will need to reapply it every day, which is not a big deal at all considering it only takes a few minutes to apply. Further, I used this as many as three days in a row and it didn’t build up in my hair- each day was like starting with a clean slate. That could be because my hair just got so oily that it was continuously absorbing it, but it’s also a well-formulated product.

I think this dry shampoo spray performs very well and I give props to Klorane for making something that is all natural. My main criticism is the amount of product you get for the price. I think it could be the way the pump is designed. The bottle does indeed look small, but I got a bit more product out of it than I thought I would. I have bought this product a few different times and I have found that the number of uses I get out of each can varies. I would definitely consider repurchasing because I like the subtle scent, the natural ingredients, and the soft, clean look it left in my hair

As mentioned earlier, it can be difficult to find this in stores, but you can pick it up online at Amazon for close to $10 which is a lot cheaper than the list price. There is also a travel size, which is great because dry shampoo is a must-have for short trips when you don’t feel like bringing your hair dryer, flat iron, shampoo, and so on.
