Suave Hair Products - Review

We received a Vox Box from Influenster with 3 of Suave's current hair line. The first, Suave Professionals Keratin Infused Dry Shampoo, is being reviewed below. Check back later to hear about the kid's gel and the men's balm!
Suave Professionals Keratin Infusion Dry Shampoo

First, I want to say that I have been on a quest for a GREAT dry shampoo for YEARS! It seems almost impossible to find one that doesn't leave a gross feel, doesn't clog instantly, or isn't completely overpriced. So initially when I received this product I was both excited and skeptical. However, I gave t a try and I'll admit it works as well as the $30 powder I have. Check out the before and after:


The before shows my hair one day after washing. The roots are super oily. It's lifeless and almost slicked back looking. Unfortunately, my hair gets oily incredibly easily and usually it looks oily only hours after I wash it. I try to wash it every other day (daily washing makes my hair way too dry).

The issue I've been struggling with is what do I do on the off days or those super cold winter days when I just don't have time to wash and dry it?

I've tried various expensive powders and cheaper powders. the main issue with powders is that they are messy. No matter how careful I am a residue of powder seems to coat everything in the bathroom. YUCK!

I've also tried a few sprays. The liquid like sprays never seem to do anything and the powder sprays just seem to clog constantly. The Suave dry shampoo is a spray. I figured the chances were slim that it would work without clogging. I was wrong. I've used it a few times now and no clogs. It sprays on easily and once rubbed/brushed through as you can see it looks great! It took all of the oiliness out of my hair and make it look freshly washed and dried. However, there are still a few cons. First, if you have really dark hair it may lighten it slightly since the powder is white. Second, it has a really strong perfume smell. If you just use a tiny bit that shouldn't be too big of a deal though. Overall, I'll definitely be buying this product in the future for my dry shampoo needs and I have to admit I'm thrilled to finally find something affordable that works for my needs.
