Most Helpful Positive Review Works Great!! This product works. I've tried 5 different typed of DS. The only other brand that's effective is Suave. Dove is good, I don't like the perfume. Don't bother with Pantene, it's more like hairspray, & Styliste Ultîme (German).
I purchased the "unscented" version of NYM. Finally, a dry shampoo without a heavy perfume! THANK YOU SOO MUCH. Genius. I washed Monday night & didn't wash until Friday. See picture. I applied day after I shampooed. Perhaps if u apply when hairs too greasy, it's not gna work as well. I stopped using DS bc I couldn't stand any of the perfumes, no matter how subtle or strong. Esp when hair isn't squeaky clean, it's gna hold onto smells more.
This is my holy grail now. I have fine, thin, long hair to my elbow. I color w highlights. My roots get greasy esp bc I live in Florida & it's hott! I'm low maintenance. No blow dry, no flat iron, no products. I used to use a root lifter. Now this is my root lifter. It gives hair a texture.
I need to mention, this shuld spray white. First time I tried it, I think I shook can too much. It just sprayed air (butane). User error. Cple days later, I tried again. This time I shook bottle & let it sit for 30-60 seconds, then it sprayed white. And I do a good brushing beforehand. It's harder for me to brush the roots after a few days. My hair gets knotty at the root anyways.
Thank you NYM. Love 💚the unscented. It works like a charm 👍
Most Helpful Critical Review Completely Destroyed my hair I work retail, so occassionally, I am scheduled to work at 8:00 a.m. When that happens, I usually take my shower the night before. My hair is normally pretty oily, so it looks greasy and limp if I don't shampoo it every day. I bought this dry shampoo on a whim. It's relatively cheap, and a fairly big bottle.
When I first started using it, I loved the results. It did a good job of controlling the oil and you couldn't even tell I'd washed my hair the night before. I also liked that you got the desired effect using very little product.
But then in March, I was schedule for 8:00 a.m. shifts 5 days in a row. I washed my hair the night before, and then used this dry shampoo before work in the morning. The following week, I noticed a major change in my hair. It became very dry, brittle, and started falling out. When I blow dry my hair, I run my fingers through it as I'm drying it, just to fluff it out a little more. When I would do this, I would find numerous strands between my fingers. I also started noticing more hair falling out in the shower. Not enough to really freak me out, but definitely more than normal. My hair started looking like straw, which has NEVER been a problem for me before. I realized it had to be from this dry shampoo. So I stopped using it and threw it in the trash. But the damage was already done to my hair.
I tried several deep conditioners, but couldn't find one that repaired the damage and made my hair healthy again. But then I found Neutrogenia Triple Moisture Daily Deep Conditoner. I had to use about a palmful of product and leave it on for 5 minutes (as opposed to the 1 minute it says on the tube) but the Neutrogenia Deep Conditioner has done a good job of repairing the damage. My hair is soft and looks more healthy than it has in months. It's not 100% restored, but it is very close. I suspect that it will only be a few more days before my hair is back to normal.
When I saw the ingredients for this dry shampoo, I was absolutely floored. The first 3 ingredients are isobutane, propane, and alcohol. No wonder it fried my hair! Needless to say, I don't recommend this product to anyone, and will definintely NOT repurchase. If you are looking for a GOOD dry shampoo, I suggest the one by Suave Professionals.

Smells like a lemon furniture cleaner. Smells like chemicals. Scent stays! Made my hair MORE greasy!

Kk from San Antonio, Tx
I use this in between wash days and have owned it for awhile now. I have yet to notice a difference from when I use it and when I don't. Also the nozzle is really hard to press down so I have to use to hands just to get product out.
Keeps Hair Fresh 5
LisaP from Riga, Michigan
I like to use this in between shampoos to absorb oil and refresh my hair. No white cast to my dark brown hair, just spray at the roots. Nice scent that isn't too strong! I have been very happy with this product!
light hand good smell 5
Freya from kansas
i am new to the dry shampoo game and had tried only a handful. I really like this. Ive had to learn on a whole using dry shampoo to use a light hand. I have fine hair and do not like strong smells. I really like this. I can still run my fingers through my hair and it doesn't feel stuck or gross and the smell is pleasant similar to a baby sunscreen I like. will repurchase.
Doesn't Work 1
Not impressed from IA
I wanted to love this so badly, but it just doesn't work. I've tried it multiple times and have had to take a shower immediately after anyway because it just weighs down my hair and makes it look/feel more greasy.
Love it! 5
fire_owlie from Plano
I've used other brands of dry shampoo in the past and was really disappointed. I was skeptical but I was in a pinch. I got this stuff on a whim and it works brilliantly. You really don't need much for it to work either. A few spritzes here and there and you're good to go.

Jamielynn from Dayton, Ohio
My fav dry shampoo. Really easy to brush out to leave no white cast. Will always rebuy

StayChill from Sh
Not your mother's has some good products so I was excited to try this one out but unfortunately it did not work. I was very disappointed.
less is more,more is bad!! 4
Margaret from spring, Tx
works just has it should, great volume, nice sent . however, do not go ham with this stuff! very quick sprits on sections of your hair then work in with fingers to blend ( about 3-5 min for me )other wise you will have white streaks or spots! and your good to go!
I recommend use no more then once maybe twice in a day, ( at least for me) would buy again, as its a great classic dry shampoo!
Not long lasting makes your hair worse do not buy 1
Grace from Santa Barbara

Good 4
Syd from Ashland, KY
It does the job but leaves hair white.
Pretty good but not the best. 3
Brittney from Florida
It doesn't leave my hair feeling as dirty and stiff as some other dry shampoos but it isn't the best I've used. I really only buy it when it's on sale and only use it when I plan on wearing my hair up, it doesn't make my hair feel clean enough to wear down but does a good job at soaking up an oily scalp.
I GOT FROSTBITE. 1
luna from hades
i got frostbite. the label said dont spray in close contact to skin but my skin was like....7 in. away from it..i have been using it for like 3 and 1/2 yrs now, and its a great dry shampoo, but i have noticed that when u shake it up, the can gets freezing cold. the thing is, on the directions, it says to shake it vigurosley. so i did. and whilst i was spraying it on my hair, some of it got on my arm. i didnt think much of it, until i went to wipe it off. when i wiped it off, some off it was f r o z e n t o m y s k i n. so i wake up today and i check on it. it has blistered. and according to google i have stage 3 frostbite.
doesn't do anything 3
k from IL
bought this for the size and the price. definitely didn't do anything for my hair.
be careful and test strand! 1
cm from north carolina
i made a mistake by not testing a strand and my reaction, my scalp within hours of using this became itchy and burning, i now have red bumps on my scalp and hairline that burn and are very sore. my hair also feels like straw and it is very tangled at the roots after washing it out. i may have had an allergic reaction or maybe it clogged my pores too much either way just make sure you test a strand first!
Smells like bug spray - use the beach one 2
Gumbledore from Denver, CO
This was the first Not Your Mother's dry shampoo I bought. I hated it because it stinks like bug spray. It works, though. I highly recommend the Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Dry Shampoo. It's a dry shampoo that also gives volume. I use it on clean hair for texture and volume. And I use it on dirty hair for oil control. I use it literally every day. It smells great, unless you don't like coconut.
Works great! 5
Jess from Nonya
I hadn't washed my hair for awhile and I wanted to wait to wash it until after I got this product to see how well it actually worked. I sprayed it in my hair and it worked! It didn't leave my hair looking dull either it still had its shine but no oil.
Better than Batiste brand!! 5
sra from missouri
Doesn't leave white or gray patches in my hair or build up. With curly hair I have to lightly use a pick, not a brush and this works well at the root.
Not very potent 2
Jenn from New york
I bought this over my usual since it was cheaper, but i feel like i have to use soooo much more to get half the "clean" feeling. And it never makes me hair feel completely fresh again. And still looks slightly oily during the day.
Does nothing, smell not great 1
Rachelruth11 from Monterey, CA
Used literally a whole bottle and it does nothing. Literally nothing! Smell is cheap smelling, not horrible but not great. Do not waste your money on this.
My go-to dry shampoo! 5
Yijtan from Madison, Wisconsin
I have dabbled with other dry shampoos over the years, but I always come back to this one! The spray is easy to use with one hand and does not come out super strong. I really appreciate that it comes unscented so it doesn't compete with my perfume. Since I have dark Asian hair, a lot of other dry shampoos will leave a white cast. This dry shampoo disperses really nicely and leaves to residue! Sometimes I even use it two days in a row and it doesn't feel too heavy or powdery.
Not the worst, definitely not the best 2
Izzy from WA
I've tried many dry shampoos, including this one- and this is one of my least favorites. It makes your hair feel stiff, itchy, and there is insane residue. It looks like you have terrible dandruff! The smell is bad too. If you are looking for an amazing dry shampoo, try the Hask Coconut Dry Shampoo. That is one of the best I've ever used. Overall, I would not recommend.
Minimal issues 4
Celi from Portland
This product works great! It takes away the oil and smells nice. Because of the pressure of the spray, it can put more on your hair then planned, thus turning your hair white. My hair is dark brown, but I could rub it in, and this doesn't happen every time I spray. I also really like the price. I've also tried Batiste, which is so far feels the same.
Original 5
Mommafoot from N.J.
Love the smell. It's not heavy or overly poowdery.
This. Is. Awful. 1
Hillary from San Juan
It bought this with high hopes, because by day 4 I'm kind of oily, but this made it a thousand times worse. Do not buy this. It's greasy, and has a really bad white cast.
