Love it but it smells SO STRONG!
I want to love this product but the fragrance is just soooo strong, I deducted one star for that reason alone. It smells good but it's heavily perfumed. A nice, clean, floral, high quality smelling fragrance with a strong projection so, if that's your thing, then this is the product for you. If you're sensitive to fragrance like me, you might want to skip it. With that aside, this is an excellent alternative to dry aerosol shampoos that leave a heavy film that weighs down the hair and clogs your pores. I usually use dry shampoo powder, which offers more control IMO, is more lightweight, comes in fragrance free options and doesn't pollute the ozone layer. This is a happy medium that out performs any and all dry shampoos that I've tried, which makes it very difficult for me to discontinue the use of it. Some background about me: I have a sensitive scalp I have alopecia (I usually wear wigs, hats and head wraps), my hair gets oily and stuck to my head within 24 hours of washing my hair and doing a scalp detox treatment Fine/Thin/Low density hair is genetic (thanks, mom🙄) I have naturally wavy hair that hasn't seen a heat tool or hair dye in over 5 years I have very bad allergies, sinus, asthma and migraines I rarely wear perfume and use fragrance-free (meaning no added fragrance or perfume in the ingredients) skincare, hair care, laundry detergent, etc because it's a huge trigger for me With that being said, the first time I tried K-18 Airwash Dry Shampoo, I used it on my extremely oily, matted hair that hadn't been washed in 4 days. It was so oily, it almost looked wet! I figured that would be the perfect time to really put this stuff to the test and OMG it worked! I was so excited to try it, I forgot to do a before and after but let me just say I was blown away! Not just by the oil absorption but by the volume it gave my lifeless hair! I sectioned my hair and sprayed about 2-3 pumps per section, which I soon learned was a little too much for my thin hair and tight lungs! It was so strong, I had to wash my hair just minutes after applying it. I just couldn't take it. It made my stomach and head hurt and I couldn't breathe (this usually means there's cedarwood in the perfume). Also, PLEASE BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET WATER IN YOUR EYES AS YOU'RE RINSING IT OUT. I usually tilt my head back when I rinse my hair but I accidentally looked down and it got into my eyes, causing an allergic reaction (burning and itching that required me to take Benadryl). Despite all of that, it did absorb almost ALL of the oil and odor from my 4 day old, dirty, stinky head lol The next time I used it, I used 1-2 pumps per section which was a little more tolerable but I did have to sleep with a silk bonnet on for the first night because the smell was just too much for me. I also didn't want to get it on my pillow and wake up with goldfish eyes. I've attached before and after pics from today (2 days post-wash) so you can see the difference in the texture, oiliness and volume it gives me after using it. Keep in mind, my hair is not styled at all in these pics, I just sprayed the dry shampoo, massaged it in till it dried and brushed it out a bit. I also refrained from spraying too much on my crown because it's close to my nose and I'm already experiencing allergies from the cedar pollen in TX. If I put more, my crown would look fuller and the hairs would look less sparse. This product does take some getting used to so, start with less and work your way up because a little goes a long way. If you use too much, it'll dry your hair out and possibly choke you to☠️ If you're sensitive to fragrance like me, consider using it before you step out of the house so some of that fragrance can dissipate. I work from home so the fragrance just sits on my head and I'm breathing it in for hours at a time. For that reason, I can't use it as often as I'd like to. I'd really love it if they came out with a fragrance-free version. It would become my holy grail at that point!

Incredible. Dry shampoo can’t live without it.
I absolutely love this stuff. It gives you so much volume and it doesn’t feel like other dry shampoos where your hair feels dirty. It literally feels like you just washed your hair. My pro tip on this is don’t put it so close to your scalp spray it kind of far away and also don’t use too much because a little really does go a long way. I also love the smell it makes my hair smell great and people are like what is that perfume you’re wearing it’s actually literally just the dry shampoo. The one thing I will say is that I can only keep it on my scalp for about two days then I have to wash it out because I do feel like it makes the hair just a tiny bit dry and frizzy but if you’re looking for something to get all the oil out and make your hair refreshed day of, I think it’s great so far I will be re purchasing

Best Hair Product Ever
This is one of the most incredible hair products I've ever used in my entire life. I have very oily/greasy hair and have been using some sort of product to keep it under control since I was a teenager. First baby powder then the dry shampoo sprays along with various shampoos and conditioners, of course. I've been wanting to stop using so much aerosol and discovered K18. It's just amazing - one spray and you're good for the rest of the day. It not only cuts down oil, but adds some thickness and shine as well. I've had the smaller bottle for 2 months, use it every single day and then some, and it's STILL going! Oh, and it smells wonderful. I am just more than impressed! Definitely buying again and again and again.

Believe the hype!
I put off buying this dry shampoo for so long. In the process, I probably purchased 10 other dry shampoos that either claimed to do what this one did, or that I just hoped would. After spending 8x what I would have had I just bought this in the first place, I finally caved and purchased this at what I felt was a high price point (especially for a travel size!!) once I sprayed this into my hair (roots only and seriously only 1-2 sprays in your greasiest areas) I immediately regretted it because I knew I would never be going back to any other dry shampoo ever. I get why the high price point. It takes away any smell, it smells great. It gives your hair texture and volume. It seriously absorbs all grease. I used to have to wash my hair every other day-no exceptions. I can go 3-4 days now!!! My hair has grown 2 inches since I’ve had this travel sized bottle! How? I’m not sure but I’m also not complaining! You barely need any and it works so unbelievably well! I also love that it’s non aerosol so it doesn’t get everywhere. This stuff lasts. I just ordered my second bottle. I’ll be a customer as long as they keep selling it. I hope they never stop!

Nothing better out there
Gosh this is pricey and if it didn’t last as long as it does I wouldn’t be able to justify it (I have short hair ymmv). However, this is hands down the best dry shampoo on the market. It’s super effective, does leave a gross texture, and doesn’t make my hair look dusted white. I bought the travel size the first two times but finally bit the bullet on the full size despite the cost bc it really is the best

Miracle in a bottle for oily hair
These pics are of my hair, 48 hours since I last washed it. I applied K18 24 hours ago and it’s still going strong. I don’t need to apply any more this morning. This stuff is absolutely amazing and is the best dry shampoo I’ve ever used. I have fine, thin, chemically treated hair that gets very oily and must be washed daily (despite trying all the tricks to try to extend my wash to every other day). That’s not always possible so I am a connoisseur of dry shampoos and have tried close to A dozen just in the last few years alone. This one has been the best by far! Not only does it absorb the oil and add much needed volume, but it doesn’t leave a powdery residue that gets on on my clothes. If I use too much than I do feel some powdery residue on my hands, but it still doesn’t come off onto my clothes. Tips: 1) shake it really really well and give it a quick shake every few sprays. 2) Follow the instructions and start with just one spray in each section of hair. Really massage it in, thoroughly brush your hair, then reevaluate to determine if more is needed. Repeat these steps as needed. 3) be sure to thoroughly brush your hair after applying as it makes a big difference.

Hands down the best dry shampoo I’ve ever used
K18 is hands down the best dry shampoo I’ve ever used. It actually makes my hair look freshly washed instead of just masking the oil. I used to wash my hair every other day because other dry shampoos couldn’t get me through day two. With this, I can go several days and my hair still looks clean and full of volume. Zero white residue or powdery buildup. It’s worth every penny.

Unbelievably perfect for fine quickly-oily hair
GOAT. What witchcraft is this?! Pricey, and priceless. Eternal gratitude to the good women of Reddit who kept talking it up. Goes on in a mysteriously wet mist, you jiggle your fingers in the roots, and voila - it’s dry, and your hair looks absolutely fine. Never any powder residue. Also handy for sloppy fresh washed hair that is going in an ipod to give it some will to rise to the occasion. Me: Fine hair, and a lot of it. Looks at least a little oily second day, always - worse if I touch my hair or sweat. Brands I’ve tried: At least ten (10!), about half salon brands and half CVS. They all can leave an obvious powder if not perfectly applied, and just don’t make the hair look good. Assumed my hair or technique just didn’t work for dry shampoo. This one product is the only hair product in general I can say: This Is The One. Take it all away, I’ll settle for something else, but this one thing is my everything, means I can go to work absolutely perfect three days in a row - never thought I would see the day! Fan for two years of use every week now.

Worth it!
For me, this is the best dry shampoo that I have tried. I have used several and they just don't seem to do the trick. It's a little more expensive but worth it. I like that it is non aerosol and has a nice light fragrance. I also like the small bottle to carry in my bag when I need to freshen up my hair while at work if I have gone for a run during my break. I like using on my daughter as well as she has recently dyed her hair and doesn't have to worry about having greasy hair in between washes.

Works great, spray nozzle breaks easy.
The product itself is amazing. I was a little skeptical at first since it sprays differently than most dry shampoos, but it is really great. Once it drys it looks like you showered. The only reason why I am leaving 4 stars is because I’ve probably used the product about 5 times and the spray nozzle does not work anymore. I did not drop it or use it differently, just nothing comes out when you try to spray it and the bottle is still full.

Not fine hair friendly
If you have fine hair DO NOT buy this, it leaves your hair insanely dry and i honestly think it makes it easier to break from how dry it makes, glad I only got the smaller version because it’s not for me at all. I really dislike the way it makes my hair feel, rather have it oily than how this makes it feel.

YUCK! Tangled Chalky Mess
Horrible. I wanted to love it & was excited to try it. But, nope. I have long hair with a few k-tips along the sides for fullness so I try to extend as much time as I can in between my washes. I normally use Amika “perk up” dry shampoo daily after I wash my hair & I LOVE it. It’s an expensive routine but keeps my hair looking clean & never feels icky after using it several days (usually 4 days). I tried using their “perk up PLUS” formula to see if that would require less usage and save me some coin, but it left my hair feeling off, so I stick with the original “perk up” formula. In any event, baaaack this K18 product — (ADHD, sorry) — I was super stoked to find that K18 had his product with decent reviews. I’ve had positive experiences with other K18 products so I had high expectations and was comfortable spending $50. Sadly it left my hair feeling tangled like straw. If you looked at my hair, it didn’t look dirty which if you can handle that feeling then maybe this product is for you, but it felt like a football helmet, it constantly tangled if I moved it. Like if I were to go in the wind, or tried to run just fingers thru it, flip it to the side or brush it - ALL BAD. I have a lot of hair, but the strands are thinner., so it would 'cause severe breakage. Just overall no bueno. And just a heads up, when I tried to return it within the return window and was told it was “ineligible for a return”. However, Amazon kindly issued a full refund without a return. I donated it to one of my girlfriends to try it. She likes Amika “perk up plus” so maybe she’ll like this stuff! 😆

Amazing
This stuff is magic. I have hair that gets greasy in a day, so I live on dry shampoo so I'm not drying out the rest of my hair. I can always tell in a mirror that I have the dry shampoo in, but not with this. Shake it really well, hold it about a foot from your head, I cover my face with my other hand, and spray just a few times to hit everything. I brush it through and when it dries, my hair looks freshly washed with the only indication I've used anything being some thicker texture on touch.

Pricey but worth it!
I have tried many dry shampoos over the years. Finding one that doesn’t make my scalp itchy, doesn’t leave a white residue, and actually works has been a struggle… until I discovered this product on vacation & decided to give it a try. I’m never buying anything else. This stuff is pricey but worth it. You don’t need as much as traditional dry shampoo & it allows me to stretch my wash day to 4-5 days while still looking great. It’s also non aerosol, which makes me happy. The only issue I’ve found is that sometimes the nozzle gets clogged. But if that happens, I just run it under warm water and it works again.

Pure ducking magic.
Honest to god I have no idea how this works, but it does. It must be made with unicorns, kittens and fairy dust. I keep looking at the ingredient list trying to figure out the magic, but I have no idea. All I know is there is no white cast, no overwhelming scent (there is a very nice fragrance but it fades to the background very fast) and suddenly my hair looks and feels clean. And it takes very little to get the job done. I wish it were cheaper for such a small bottle, but I will absolutely keep purchasing this little spray bottle of magic elixir.

Spray nozzle stopped working almost immediately
The spray nozzle on this completely broke and stopped working within only 3-4 times of using it and I have heard many others have the same issue. If you request a refund, you will be instructed to contact k18 customer service and they are completely unhelpful and unwilling to provide not even a replacement spray nozzle let alone a replacement product. I now have a FULL bottle of $50 product that is completely unusable. I don’t recommend buying this or other k18 products

This product is amazing. I have fine, thin hair and normally look like someone dumped grease on my head by the end of the day after washing my hair that morning. This product has allowed me to go two full days without a wash! I’m really impressed with his great it works. I have used it in the morning, brushed it out, curled and went in my way. I used it after the gym (I sweat a lot!), dried my hair with a blow dryer first then used this product and styled the way I wanted to. I’m so thankful I found this.

A Fresh Hair Refresh Without the Aerosol!
I really like this non-aerosol dry shampoo! It helps absorb excess oil and gives my hair a refreshed, cleaner look without leaving behind a heavy residue or sticky feeling. The formula feels lightweight and doesn’t make my hair feel stiff or weighed down. One of my favorite things is that it doesn’t leave the white cast that many traditional dry shampoos do, making it easy to use between washes. It also adds a little volume while keeping my hair soft and natural-looking. If you’re looking for an effective dry shampoo that’s easy to use and a great alternative to aerosol sprays, this is definitely worth trying. It’s become a staple in my hair care routine!

Holy Grail
I had given up on dry shampoo products. I randomly saw an ad for this one and asked my hairstylist about it and she said it was good. Still doubtful, I bought this small one to try. I used it today once I saw the oiliness start on my roots and sprayed it on them as directed. MAGIC! What a GAME CHANGER! no weird sticky film or grey looking roots. Just looks freshly washed! I'm ECSTATIC because I like to go up to 4-5 days of not washing and have to throw it up in a ponytail to try and hide it. I was able to, on day 3, spray this stuff in and wear my hair down confidently! Don't bother buying the small bottle. You're going to love it. Go big

Works great
My hair gets greasy so fast and I’ve never been a fan of dry shampoo because I have dark brown hair so it either leaves white marks in my hair or I feel self conscious like I have white in my hair still. This dry shampoo is great because it’s a spray and clear. It works instantly and makes your hair feel so clean without making it feel heavy or powdery.

I had an Amazon gift card and decided to buy the bougie dry shampoo. I am postpartum and needed something to make my hair feel and look clean. Well, this was sort of a mistake because now I can’t go back to anything else. I’ve tried several different drug store dry shampoos before and never liked any of them - too much white powder residue, too much fragrance, or never made a difference in my hair. I have dark brunette hair and it gets oily over night. This stuff is MAGIC. It feels like you’re spraying a mist on your hair, but once you work your hands through the product, BAM! Your hair is refreshed and looks like you just washed it. I love this stuff and needed to purchase the full size bottle after using up the travel size.
