DAE Fairy Duster Dry Shampoo Powder - Non-Aerosol Natural Ingredients

I would like to give this product 4.5 stars, but I can't do that and it doesn't deserve only 4 stars. The product deserves to be dinged half a star because comes out in varying amounts when you pump it; sometimes it's too much. That's the only flaw. I bought this because I was going on a flight with a carryon, so I needed to find as many powder or stick alternatives to liquids that I could. I own a jar of Crown Affair (I LOVE it!), which is a powder you put on with a brush for those of you not familiar, but it's pretty huge and space is always a concern. I knew about this product because my daughter uses it, so I decided to buy it for my trip and I'm really happy that I did. It's truly a great product, especially if you like a powder, but also like the quickness of an aerosol. Since you're not using a brush to apply it and instead you're pumping it on, you're working quicker than with powders that use a brush. You work it in with your fingers real quick where you pump it (just kinda shake your hair where you pumped it like you do when you're adding volume to your hair before a selfie. We all do it - no shame!), and that's it. It's takes a little longer to finish dry shampooing your hair than an aerosol, but it's quicker than a powder with a brush (yes, that even includes m'Chel's dry shampoo, another absolutely wonderful product I love). I have blonde hair, and it easily blends in with my hair (yes, you can get a white cast on the blondest of hair); it also blends well with my daughter's dirty blonde/light brown hair. Sorry that these are the only hair shades I can comment on. What I love is that you end up with a little bit of volume and no gritty texture that you get with some of the aerosol dry shampoos that are generally found at the grocery store. It has a light, airy, floral smell (it does have that powder smell that all powders have, but it's also light). I would say that for a product called fairy duster, it's what I would think that would smell like and it's pleasant and you don't notice it after you've done your hair. It's worth every penny at full price, and I will absolutely use this in my dry shampoo rotation (color wow aersol for a day where I have to be ready super quick, DAE Fairy Duster for a quick day with some breathing room, crown affair on days with no stress for time), and not just save it for travel. When it runs out, I will buy it again and feel it's worth the cost for all the reasons I stated in the review. I get the feeling the scent could be strong or offputting to some, but i promise by the time you finish styling your hair, the scent won't be noticeable to anyone unless they get up in your hair and sniff it (I hope if that happens to you, it's not creepy and it's welcomed).

This stuff is so good. My sons love it. My sons have different dads I have curly hair, one son has straight hair one has coily hair. It works on all and on all colors one of my sons has blond hair one has brown and I have black hair. It works wonders w my sebhoreic dermatitis (spelled wrong) I have a super bad case of it. I even use it to make my skin look less oily I like it better than my setting makeup powder. All natural and good for you and smells good. Rated excellent on the yuka app for health

Cute bottle design, contents dispense easily. Very fine powder, didn't clump coming out, spread evenly as long as I held the canister the recommended distance away. Unnoticeable in black hair after letting it work for 20s and then brushing through. It did make my hair feel cleaner, but brushing was harder due to losing oils. Definitely effective in making roots look less slick and extending wash day. Would have given it 5* if I'd liked the fragrance more... It's not unpleasant, just too fruity candy sweet for my taste, though it does fit the fairy duster name. It's not overwhelming, but it reminds me of being in a Sephora whenever I catch the faint scent. Would def consider getting again if they came out with a different scent or unscented.

Little bit goes long way! I refuse to buy aerosol dry shampoo anymore and it smells nice without being strong. Easy to blend into hair.

Love this dry shampoo. As long as you keep the 3-6 inch distance there’s no white cast or pilling. Hair looks refreshed and healthy afterwards. Been using for couple months and still not even half way through. Pricey but worth it!

It smells wonderful, my hair feels light, and the bottle is small. A powder dry shampoo is just so much better than an aerosol container and this one takes care of the oil without creating heaviness.

I have such mixed feelings on this one :/ the dry shampoo works fine, most of them do. But this applicator is really difficult to get working correctly, at least in my opinion! Way too much comes out and if you don’t move it while you’re pumping out a single spray then way too much ends up in one spot to re distribute. But the spray happens really fast, you’re not really able to do it slowly because it’s an air pressure dependent pump mechanism. I just wasn’t able to distribute it in my hair well at all. Multiple people also commented on the lovely smell which is why I wanted to try this one over the other non-aerosol products. t is a nice smell, but it is so overpowering. If it was 1/10 of the strength, it would be really nice, but it’s the sickly sweet overpowering smell that made me nauseous. I’m sitting here 30 minutes later with it in my hair and I still feel a little bit sick to my stomach. Such a disappointment! I was really hoping to love this one

The pump applicator is genius—none of the drying, crunchy, dirty-scalp effects of an aerosol, and none of the clogs or uncontrolled oopsies of most powder formulas. The pump sort of puffs the product onto the hair, which makes for a very lightweight and more even application. I've got thick, fine, naturally light-colored hair with lots of bleach on the ends—the kind of hair that picks up scalp oils as soon as it's washed, though the bleached parts are bone-dry without some serious intervention. This dry shampoo is kind to both: it keeps my roots grease-free without my ends looking damaged, poufy, stiff, or product-heavy. Unlike other reviewers, I'm not a fan of the scent (not much of a fan of scented anything, really). It's rather a sweet smell, but quite light relative to most hair products. It won't linger on your pillow or be all you smell as you go through the day.

This product is on a completely different level. The smell alone is enough to make you obsessed — it smells SO dang incredible I actually look forward to using it. And the best part? A single bottle lasts forever. I used to go through aerosol bottles every week or two, and this one just keeps going. A little truly goes a long way. My hair has never been happier. My hairdresser even noticed way less damage and asked what I switched to. It doesn’t leave that weird “white cast” like so many others do — it blends beautifully, feels clean, and leaves my hair looking fresh instead of chalky. I’ve already purchased this multiple times and will be a lifetime user. I’m so thrilled to finally have a cleaner, healthier product that actually works better than anything I’ve used before. Total game‑changer.

Ce produit est une belle découverte et un gros WOW pour moi! Il donne du volume sans laisser de trace. Il réduit facilement mon temps de lavage de cheveux de deux jours et il sent merveilleusement bon. J’apprécie également, le fait qu’il ne soit pas en aérosol. La quantité de poudre est incroyable et vous en avez pour vraiment longtemps. Il suffit d’appuyer plus ou moins fort sur la buse pour libérer la quantité voulue sur le cuir chevelu et de masser ensuite pour répandre le produit. Je le recommande fortement

Great for air travel as an alternative to aerosol. Smells very good, and gives my hair extra volume. Its a bit gritty and can feel a bit sticky like batiste, and you really have to rub and brush it out, but it soaks up oily hair and makes you look like you just blow dried upside down. I bring it on all my trips, and put some on after flight for a refreshed look.

Absolutely love this product and applicator. I have black hair and this doesn’t leave a white cast. It also smells great. Will definitely buy again.

Smells nice. Works ok. Not sure if it’s with the price. Also… it arrived with no lid??? Not sure if that’s normal
