I DEW CARE Tap Secret Dry Shampoo Powder Refill with Biotin | Strengthening & Volumizing, Refillable, Travel size, Non-aerosol, Korean Ginseng, Dry Shampoo for Women, Women Stocking Stuffers, 0.24 Oz

I'm a bit of a dry shampoo fiend, and I'm SUPER picky about what I use because I have dark hair and hair that gets oily QUICK. I need my dry shampoo to last at least two days before the grease starts to show back up, and it cannot leave a white cast. My go-to for a while was Batiste's dark brunette one, but I had to use a lot more than I wanted to get it to really take care of the oil, and didn't love that it left a light brown stain every night on my white pillowcases. This stuff is perfect - it doesn't leave a white cast once you rub it in, and you need VERY little for it to work. It also works over several days - not that I'm proud of it, but at once point due to the chaos in my life I didn't wash my hair for over 10 days, but with this I only had to apply twice over that 10 day period, which given my hair gets super greasy, is a miracle. It's also PERFECT for travel. With my new job I've been traveling internationally a lot for work, and it was getting annoying and expensive to keep buying the travel sized dry shampoo sprays. This worked perfect and I often stowed it in my carryon or purse to apply after I landed overnight. I'm about to take it on my trip to Europe for 2 weeks and it will be perfect! Only major callout - once you've put this stuff in, and especially if you've used too much (no seriously, use VERY LITTLE) any slickness or sleekness you might want out of your hair is hard to come by. I cannot roundbrush my hair at all with this stuff in it, it feels a bit like I am trying to comb through teased hair when I do that. This kind of texture isn't visible (other than the great volume it gives you), but it doesn't feel great on your hair when you touch it and can be hard to comb through. This isn't a major issue for me since I do relatively little hair styling, but for some this might be a dealbreaker. So if you want to try it, heed the warning - you don't need much of this (which is good because it lasts so long!) - also maybe put it on AFTER you've styled your hair.

Easy to apply and does the job when others don't. I stock up when it's on sale and keep on auto-ship. Great for travel or to keep in car or gym bag. It does add grit to hair, but helps extend a style 2-3 days.

This is the best dry shampoo I've personally ever used. My hair perks right up and gives me an additional 2 days before needing to wash. Or apply again. I like that I'm not washing my hair every day and it feels healthier. I liked it so much I bought one for a friend. She loved it. My only complaint would be the quantity is small for the price. Bottom line, i would absolutely recommend.

UPDATE 11/24/23 so you know I’m so invested in sharing our love for this 😂 and if it helps even one person, mama, daughter, etc., I’ll be happy: we still LOVE THIS product and have repurchased one time so it lasted about 6 weeks for us regularly doing the same routine as below. She plays sports formally 4 days a week and is very active most other days or has gym at least. As a reminder, she’s usually very greasy and is in the throes of hormones from starting puberty so extra sweat and grease 😅. Also, awesome money-saving/product-panning tip (IYKYK): I realized the applicator/puff is refillable so I had a lightbulb moment when thinking about WHY this product was so effective. I began thinking of what I can refill it with (possibly at a cost savings because even though we loved it, frequent repurchases and costs were imminent) and started looking at powder dry shampoo of all kinds. I was about to purchase the expensive beloved bumble & bumble dry shampoo (because it lasts forever), or other brands I hadn’t tried before. Then, while doing my makeup one day, it dawned on me that the Tap secret powder texture is very similar to the Elf HD powder which I love and use religiously, even over other more expensive products. Like a huge nerd, I then researched the ingredients in dry shampoo powders of all kinds/brands, loose setting powders, etc., and realized that the common ingredient was often silica which, duh, absorbs oil. I am sure that so many of us have tons of loose finishing powders laying around that we may not have loved for our face (banana powder for me) or cheaper products that we do love that we could fill this applicator with at a cost savings (Elf HD powder for me, which is half the price of the original Tap secret). I have now filled the original applicator with a mix of banana powder and the HD powder and Y’ALL 💡🤯. I will still repurchase and support this brand and product and to be fair, it is slightly more effective than the HD powder. Also, not all folks will be able to be compatible with banana powder color-wise (though I suggest mixing with cocoa powder and you might be 😭) or purchase the HD powder just for this (I always have the HD powder on hand so makes sense for me). BUT, the applicator is amazing and to be able to use up random setting powders in my vanity and save money? Freakin’ amazing. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Of course we all love freshly washed hair but sometimes it’s nice or necessary to prolong a hair wash! I wish I took day by day pictures of my daughter’s hair this week. I will preface this by saying that I am someone who is a little obsessive about appearance and especially hygiene and being and looking clean. I’m trying and have done well with trying not to push those tendencies on my daughter but she has entered sweaty, smelly puberty 💀. I have very dry, very curly hair so when I had my daughter who is now ten and has mostly straight hair that is prone to be oily, I had to learn how to best care for her hair as well. Her hair is often greasy by day two especially with sports and now puberty. It’s not that it looks bad but it’s not as nice as freshly washed. She always showers or bathes every day and cares for her skin, but it is nice to be able to skip a day or two a week of fully washing her hair, especially before bed. We live on the beach in a very humid climate but have cold/wet winter. In the summer, she washes her hair every night because of camp and swimming. Since it is hot outside, we can also do in the morning as well. In the fall and winter in our cold climate, we have to fully blow dry wet hair. I’ve tried every shampoo and conditioner combination, salicylic acid shampoo, nizoral, clarifying shampoo, no conditioner, conditioning the scalp, etc and have finally found the perfect solution in combination with this product! I have tried - and hated - almost every aerosol dry shampoo on her hair. Of course some of them are nice but they get expensive and the cans don’t last long. Travel is a pain and expensive to buy travel size. They often make it look like she has dandruff as well and she hates how it has a white cast. She has dark blonde hair. We got her this dry shampoo and she did her usual full shampoo and conditioner with everything else on Sunday. She sat with microfiber plop in for one hour then we blow dried completely. Monday her hair still looked great so she took a “body bath” only and I lightly used this puff for the first time on Monday. The reviews said it works best if you use dry shampoo BEFORE the hair gets oily. I did this and brushed it from roots to tips with a boar bristle brush. I thought that was a great tip! Tuesday her hair still looked so fresh that she took a “body shower” and even had soccer practice! It still looked amazing after practice and since it was late, she took a quick body shower and I blew dry her damp hair from sweating. She knew she would have to get up early before school on Wednesday to wash her hair. However on Wednesday, her hair still looked so good that she just washed her body again! Here we are on Thursday morning and she just went to school today with her hair down again!!! I haven’t applied any of the dry shampoo since a couple puffs each on Monday and Tuesday!!!! Absolutely zero dandruff appearance, no smell, zero grease and she still has lovely shine and body! I will say if you use too much, it can cause a chalky, almost hard to brush texture and a white cast but it shakes out with fingers if that makes sense. Darker haired people may want to be careful at first. I was nervous on Tuesday that I’d used too much but it was easy to correct and none of the issues lasted. Im so blown away by this product! I don’t know or care if it is the actual product or the puff applicator but it is incredible and will most definitely repurchase again and again! It will be easy to travel with as well and great for school or work bags. But as I’ve learned, if you use the right amount before developing the oiliness or greasiness, you likely won’t need to apply again! Side note but she hasn’t developed any pimples near her hairline this week and she usually does get one here and there with the start of puberty. I am thinking the hair becoming greasy often made her more prone to pimples! Unreal! If anyone is interested in the total routine that I’ve found for her hair, I’ll post below. She has pretty thick, mostly straight, dark blonde hair and we have struggled with oily hair, greasy appearance even on freshly washed hair at times and thick flaking like she used to get with “cradle cap” as a baby and toddler. Her crown and hairline get the greasiest. The absolute best combo now includes this dry shampoo but her hair wash routine is wash thoroughly (scalp and hair) with 3% salicylic acid shampoo (I use the Walgreens brand) and let sit on scalp for a few minutes. Rinse thoroughly. Shampoo for second time with silicone and mineral oil free shampoo (currently using the Pantene bamboo line which we both love) and rinse thoroughly. Conditioner lightly (maybe a teaspoon for her thick shoulder length hair) but be sure to massage into scalp. She is currently using my Shea Moisture conditioner but we use so little it doesn’t weigh either of our hair down. A dry scalp can over produce oil to try and over compensate. Since I started doing that it reduced a bit. Make sure to rinse thoroughly! Also the blow dry completely trick is important. All of this now with the dry shampoo is HOLY GRAIL! The rest of the week, we shampoo her only once with the bamboo shampoo so SA shampoo only once a week. It would be too drying otherwise. It’s nice that the bamboo shampoo is one that we both can use. Before this dry shampoo, we still washed 4-5 times a week or suffered the consequences in a greasy up-do ugh. Now we have the freedom to shampoo less if convenient especially in the colder months! Im so grateful to be able to help my daughter find her holy grail routine as she enters puberty and feel so happy to have found this product! Can’t recommend this product enough!

5 stars for efficacy, but knocking off 2 stars for the applicator. Okay guys, this dry shampoo works. I have combo oily skin, and my roots get greasy the next day after washing. I’ve tried it all: high-end, drugstore, DIY, powders, shampoo swaps, water filters... you name it. This is the first product that keeps my hair looking clean for two full days without needing a touch-up (maybe just a tiny bit behind the ears). So why only 3 stars? The applicator. It dispenses way too much product at once and is really hard to control. One tap at the crown and a cloud of powder lands in one spot, leaving a visible white or gray cast unless I rub it in like crazy. Because of this, I go through the tub so fast, like one a week! At this price, that’s just not sustainable. I will repurchase because the formula is that good, but next time I’ll be applying it with a big makeup brush (since the chamber opens up) to better control how much I use.

Après avoir essayé plusieurs marques de shampoing sec, celui-ci est de loin mon préféré et le seul que j'utilise maintenant. Le contenant est petit et portable, idéal pour voyager. Comme il est en poudre, il ne compte pas dans les limites de liquides lorsqu'on voyage en carry on. Le produit s'applique facilement et a une meilleur durabilité que les autres que j'ai essayé, j'ai besoin d'en appliquer moins souvent. J'ai les cheveux brun moyen et le produit régulier me convient et ne laisse pas de pellicule blanche bien que je sais qu'il y a aussi une formulation pour les cheveux foncés. Il n'a aucune odeur et n'est pas volatile comme des produits en spray où une bonne quantité de produit se répend dans l'air (et nos poumons) plutôt que dans les cheveux à l'application. Le contenant, bien que petit, dure longtemps comme il n'y a aucune perte.

Love this product!! Will buy again - very effective and I like the darker pigmament for my hair

Smell amazing. Absorbs oil leaving hair clean and with more volume. A little goes a long way. The best dry shampoo I’ve ever used.

Great product! It looked small when it arrived, but I needed a little product to refresh my hair! I'll be purchasing the refills too!

It’s quite small but it works like a charm. I used it cause I had a hard time washing my hair with one broken shoulder. My hair looked like just washed and it lasted for a week.
