How long does the bottle last? if used a few times a week how long would you say either the full size or travel last you. trying to decide if it's in the budget.
- Asked by ccarver
- Official Answer By Bumble & Bumble USThank you for asking. The Travel Size Pret-A-Powder is 0.5oz in size. This dry shampoo instantly creates volume, adds texture, absorbs oil, and refreshes styles with just a small amount to see results. How long it lasts would depend on how much is used on scalp to achieve the results of each individual hair type.

- Q
Everyone says "It smells great!" but that tells me absolutely nothing about the actual scent. What is it? Gourmand/sweet/powdery/fresh/floral/citrus/etc? (Some of those flavors make me want to vom so I don't want to waste the money on something I'll immediately throw out but this product sounds good enough to try if it's not one of scents I can't tolerate.)

It works! And I'm a brunette!
I can understand why brunettes might not like this product. Yes, it does leave a bit of a white residue. The trick is to use VERY LITTLE at the scalp and use your fingers to vigorously rub it in. I have tried every dry shampoo known to man and this is the only one I like; not only does it give body ...

Perfect Product with one HUGE Exception. Brunettes beware!
I like this powder better than the spray, which I have loved for years. It works better and smells wonderful. I swear by this product and will continue to use it. The fatal flaw is not offering it in dark for dark-haired beauties. I am 52 years old and lucky enough to have nearly zero grey hairs. My...

Been using this on/off for like ten years!
I always end uo going back ti it after trying other products. I have a sensitive scalp and have no issues using this. People compliment my hair when i use it and ask how i get my hair so volumized 🤷🏼♀️ i tell them what i use. After that, its on them! Up to you if you wanna try this amazing product!
The ONE!
Be a 2-3 day wash day girly! I have fine texture, but lots of it, ash brown with silvers since 39, noe 41. Its life changing to have hair that looks good without devoting literal hours out of my week to dry and style daily. My waves and girls hold wonderfully, turns out I was a curly girl all along! Pair with Paul Mitchells oily scalp treatment drops and you be in hair health heaven. I get tons and tons of compliments on the texture and thickness now. Even better, I shower every day and the steam moisture seems to reset all my curls and wavy ends. To apply: Sprinkle the powder in your hands, pat together and apply to your scalp as you would a liquid shampoo, working from the scalp outward to about a hands length from the scalp (no need to go all the way to the ends unless you want super volume everywhere for funsies). Literally apply this as you would any liquid shampoo without the water. Texture is like cornstarch, very fine and doesn't take terribly much. Chest length hair and it lasts me about 2 months. Makes a fluffy, cute third day pony or super super volume on day 1 hair too. BUY IT!!
Definitely didn't work for me

This absolutely didn't work for me. I have brown fine hair but a lot of it and my roots get greasy quick. I was hoping this would be a good alternative to aerosol but I was wrong. Leaves my hair with so much powder, and the worst dry crunchy feeling. The powder simply does not absorb no matter what I do. I'll be tossing this, I can't even give it to a friend in good faith.
Leaves hair feeling rough and dry, not clean
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I loved the old formulation of Bumble and Bumble Dry Shampoo. This formulation is dispensed from a squeeze bottle, so I felt that there was not good distribution. It left my hair feeling sticky and thick, but not in a good way.
Pretty Good
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I appreciate the non aerosol dispenser of the dry shampoo.The dispensing is decent with one small hole in the top.The powder left my hair feeling fresh and less oily with a small amount of grit that gave my hair body and aid in styling. I have dark hair and the powder was easy to brush out so as to not leave a white cast. I don't like it as much as the Klorane dry shampoo, but I can get used to this replacement.
