Victorias Secret So Sexy Dry Shampoo

Up for review is Victoria's Secret So Sexy Clean & Go Dry Shampoo for all hair types. After having had bad experiences from the past with VS products from the "So Sexy" line I'm really unsure why I wanted to try this product out so badly. It appears that almost everything scented from the so sexy line has somewhat of an obnoxious chemical odor to it. I guess my need for wanting to try out any dry shampoo was far greater than remembering the past odor of other items from this line. Another reason was because the cost was less when I used a promotional code. For those of you who may not know what a dry shampoo is and what it does let me tell you. A dry shampoo is in a hair spray formula that is meant to be used between hair washing to remove excess scalp oil, odor and add volume to uncleaned hair without the use of added water. Typically in the past it has been used for those who are bed ridden, or who travel a lot as touch ups and should not be considered as a replacement or substitution for actually washing your hair. Your scalp is a living organism that will become rancid due to oil build-up if you don't wash your hair regular so a dry shampoo can be considered an emergency touch up. In recent years dry shampoos have become all the rave for stylists at backstage runway shows, photo shoots and such because it's a quick easy way to absorb the oil in the hair  so a stylist can achieve a voluminous body hairstyle look. Dry shampoo's are also beauty insider stylist secret to giving celebrity clients with thinning hair a more full body look. Angelina Jolie swears by baby powder in her hair for loads of volume but I'm sure her stylist uses dry shampoo as baby powder would show up in her scalp but the principle is the same. I wash my hair every day because it's so flat on top so this is the main reason I have been wanting to try a dry shampoo and even though this one is not the best quality I'm going to shop around for a better brand soon. About this dry shampoo-some ingredients contained in the formula are oat and rice powders for absorbing excess oil and is meant for all hair types even color treated hair. My results:Firstly what you notice is the scent and it's odor is completely obnoxious like chemical fumes! I used this on the weekend without going out or shampooing to see how effective it really works and while it may have absorbed the oil just a tad my hair didn't feel really clean not making me confident enough to actually use this then go out in public without washing my hair. Maybe good for an emergency when traveling. It  also really didn't do that much for added volume to my hair-hairspray would have been better.The powdery spray is not that sticky and has no residue that clings to your hair which was nice.The container is really empty-mostly air and runs out too fast! It's not worth the price at all. My end results,this dry shampoo gets only one starfish rating only because it's cruelty free so if your desperate for an emergency quick fix and can't find an alternative you might buy this. It definitely could be improved upon with more product, a better scent and better formula. Who want's to pay for a canister of air? Anyone try this dry shampoo out? Stay beautiful! XOXO
