🔍 What users say

Pros:

• Many users say it indeed absorbs oil and refreshes hair between washes. For example: “I really like this one … clean and not like talcum powder … for my dark hair.”

• The tinted/darker‑shade version helps reduce the white cast typical of many dry shampoos. One user: > “It’s dark brown color which is a huge plus as it doesn’t leave a white color on the hair.” 

Cons / Things to work with:

• Because it’s powder format (rather than aerosol), application takes a bit more effort and technique. Some users find it “messy” or tricky to apply near the hairline or scalp

• Even the “dark hair” version may still leave some visible powder or require good blending. For example: > “Still too light for dark hair, so you will need to blend it in very — VERY well.” 

• Some reports mention that the bottle/dispenser design might make distribution harder.

🎯 Is it likely a good fit for you?

Given your earlier queries (you’re in Karachi, hot/humid environment, likely dealing with oily roots etc), yes — this product could be a good match, especially if:

• Your scalp/root area tends to get oily between washes.

• You have darker hair or want less visible residue (white cast) from a dry shampoo.

• You prefer a cleaner‑ingredient product (vegan, no harsh chemicals).

However, a few caveats to consider:

• If your hair is extremely fine and you worry about heaviness, powder types are usually lighter but you still need to apply smartly (only at the roots) to avoid flattening.

• Because you’re in a dusty/humid climate, you’ll still want to wash properly at intervals — dry shampoo extends between washes but doesn’t replace them entirely.

• If you find the application tricky (e.g., the powder visibly on your dark hair), you may need to practise the technique or use a small brush to blend it in.

💡 Tips for best use

• Apply when your roots are just starting to feel oily, not when they’re completely saturated — the product works better when it absorbs rather than sits on heavy oil.

• Use a small amount: sprinkle or shake a bit into your hand or a small brush, then apply to the scalp roots section by section.

• After application, massage in gently and then brush out to distribute and remove any excess visible powder.

• You could apply at night (before bed) so the product has time to settle, then in the morning brush out for a fresher look. Some users say doing this helps. 

• On dark hair, check in good light for any visible residues (especially at hairline/part). If you see tiny white specks, use a clean brush or blow‑dry lightly at roots to soften/dispense residue.

• Remember: dry shampoo is for in‑between washes, not a substitute for regular shampoo/clarifier cycles.
