Product reviews of Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo Powder, 2.5 Ounce
Review: Great for Fresher Smell & Volume
Beauty product: 5 Stars
This is a great time saver that both takes away odor the day after you shampoo and volumizes your hair at the same time. Since my hair is oily at the top and dryer at the ends, it's not good to shampoo every day. But somewhere into day 2, my scalp may take on the dreaded oily hair smell and my long layered style can go flat, esp. in the summer. Pronto solves both problems. I just sprinkle the size of a baby pea in my palm, rub hands together to distribute evenly to fingers, then bend at waist and massage into front (bangs) upside down. Use the same amount and in the same manner for top crown (toward back), then sideburn area and nape. For the top crown, I have to lift up my longer hair to put the powder near the roots.
I rub my hands over the sink to prevent powder from getting on the bathroom floor which can be slippery. I like to use Pronto first, then wash face, do makeup, etc. to give it time to absorb into hair/scalp. If you don't take the time to spread the powder into different sections, it may not work well for you. My daughter rushes through it and it doesn't make a big difference on her as it does on me. It only takes me less than one minute to spread the powder. When I brush my hair upside down to style it, I can't even notice any powder coming off. I have dark brown hair and the white powder absorbs so well I can't even see any residue on my dark hair.
A couple of times, I have even used Pronto on both the 2nd day and 3rd day after shampooing (if I can't wash my hair as usual). At first, I thought it would be way too much product in my hair the second time around, but it worked just fine in a pinch (although I would much rather wash my hair). The smell is exactly that -- lemon verbena -- very fresh. You don't need a lot. I bought the 3.5 oz. first and got the 1 oz (it's so cute) for the kids. I've had them for over a year and it looks like I'll have the same bottles for a long, long time -- 4-5 more years.
I have to add that I like my layers fluffed up on the crown and styled with hairspray. The volume that Pronto gives me at the crown is almost comparable to day 1 (but not on the bottom -- hmmm, maybe I'll rub some powder on the bottom). Without it, my hair would be flat on days 2 & 3 and cannot be styled in my normal manner. I never travel without it either.
Review: Great stuff

This Oscar Blandi dry shampoo is great! For those days in between shampoos, or just a quick freshening up. I sprinkle a little on my brush and brush around the hairline and then everywhere else, it smells great and does the trick. Love it! Review: LOVE!

I have used this product a few times since I am trying to wash my curly hair less. Allow me some hope that my hair won't dry out as fast. The smell is pretty lemony - but not so bad that I would stop putting it in my hair. Obviously, since it is a powder, it does make your roots a little white, but just keep massaging and you should be fine. I watched a tutorial on Youtube about sectioning the hair, and it worked out pretty well.
I have not used another dry shampoo, so I can't comment on if it's better or worse then others - but, I have liked the results so far. Allows me one more day without washing my curly hair!
Review: The verdict is still out....

I got this version of Dry Shampoo over the spray can version because the spray can had a of of reviews that complained of clogging. I generally wash my hair every other day and on my off days (especially when it is so hot) I use baby powder to soak up the oils. I tried this thinking it would be a step up & I'm still not sure it's better than my Johnson & Johnson baby powder. The feel of it is a bit more like talc (a bit rougher I guess is the way to explain it), it definitely is not as smooth feeling a baby powder.
PROS:
- Smells nice (I like citrus-y scents)
- It has a nice nozzle so you can control more of where the powder goes
- It does it's job and nicely soaks up all oils
CONS:
- I'm blonde, and this leaves my hair dull and dusty looking. I could only imagine what it would look like in hair even a touch darker than mine.
- I recall someone's review saying "don't touch your hair because it will leave a cloud of dust"- boy is that ever true. I even tried putting it on the night before to give any excess powder time to fall off, no such luck.
- Did I mention how dusty it is? It gets underneath my nails and irks me all day long...
So, compared to the price of baby powder I would have to say that it's just not worth it. I was hoping it would look a lot nicer than it does. However, it definitely smells cleaner and does its job.
