The Worst: No. 2: Bumble and bumble Hair Powder, $35
TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 4.8*
Why: One reader gives a disclaimer: "Use Only If Attending Clown College!" Another reader says, "I read about this product in at least five magazines with awesome reviews of it before I bought it. It is pretty expensive. So I took it home and tried it. My entire bathroom was covered in brown spray paint. I spent forever cleaning up the mess. And it made my hair stiff and didn't remove the oil as promised." Readers agree saying, "the $4 stuff I got at the drugstore works well enough for me to get another day out of a blow out, but this stuff was a nightmare! Most irritating was that the color got everywhere; all over my hands, brush, towel, etc. Plus, every time I touched my hair, my hands turned red!" Ick. Another reader calls this product a "complete waste of time and total disappointment from a generally fantastic company. Bumble and bumble needs to throw this out and go back to the drawing board to start over and get it right on the next try!"

I'm going to be taking this advise seriously as I am one very disatisfied dry shampoo user thus far however desperately need a good one as I really can't wash my hair everyday, it's just not that do-able when you're a mum of 2 and work full time! Ok my pecking order to try 1. Spilt Milk 2. Oscar Blandi and if all else fails, shave my head. Please leave more posts about your fav's I need some serious help here!

Loved reading this summary of dry shampoos. It seems like we are all looking for the perfect dry shampoo, yet it is a product that can easily be a flop. So far my personal favorite after trying soooo many is the Big Sexy Hair dry shampoo. I am excited to try the top two from this article as they are the only ones mentioned that I have yet to try!

I agree, loving the Spilt Milk Hair Powder. I'm using the copper coloured one and find it so natural feeling in my hair. Thank god a colour specific hair powder is finally available, no more white powder in my hair!

Tried Tressemme and hated it. After a few months, it started dispensing this thick nasty cream instead of the usual mist.

TIGI is pretty average. I use the Spilt Milk one also, and agree it's the best. It's also the nicest feel in the hair and gives great coverage to roots.

What about TIGI Rockaholic dry shampoo? It works really well too. I also agree the Bumble and Bumble is terrible and smelly. Has anyone used the new Suave Dry Shampoo?
