No thanks
luckybetty (880 reviews)

My friend was using this as a dry shampoo while we were camping. I borrowed it and I did not like it at all. It was like using baby powder in my hair. The smell was actually pleasant, but each time I touched or stroked my hair, I could see some color on my fingers. — 2 years, 5 months ago

Not very good
jenicide1 (292 reviews)

I used the brown in my hair, but I really hate the color added to the spray shampoo. It got all over my hands and face, along with my brush and comb. Would advise not to purchase. — 1 year, 7 months ago

Color is all wrong
Jessica8 (223 reviews)

I tried this in "blondish" and was very disappointed. It worked ok as a dry shampoo/root booster, but the color got all over everything and was WAY too dark (and my hair is a dark blonde). I ended up giving it to my mom, who has brown hair. The color worked better for her, but she never used it again after showing up to a meeting with brown streaks all over her hands. Bottom line: the color is too dark and doesn't stay put. It's also pretty expensive for a tiny little bottle. I have found other brands that work better and are a better value. — 3 years, 11 months ago

Can't live without!
blushdiva (2 reviews)

My hair has been thinning for years. Until I can figure out how to get my hair back I will continue to appreciate this product! It gives me instant fullness and colors my scalp to hide the baldness. My hair stylist said khloe Kardashian uses this to make her part look fuller. I was skeptical but as soon as he sprayed it I felt and saw years come off and sexiness come back. It also makes teasing my hair easier. Love is an understatement. One can lasts half a year. — 1 day, 19 hours ago

Bumble Hair Powder
tarah_merchant (1 reviews)

This has a variety of uses! I can't live with out it! People do need to realize it's not going to magically shampoo your hair but it does absorb oil and lift limp locks, unlike baby powder(never mind your hair won't smell like a baby's bottom). Absolutely great for teasing as well! It works well and won't leave a mess if you use the product correctly and follow the easy directions... — 4 months, 2 weeks ago

Essential. Life-Changing.
groovybaby (6 reviews)

No more roots showing ever! Ever! How did I live before my wonderful stylist Jared told me about this. It's like spray paint for your hair. Why every woman in the world who colors her hair doesn't have a cabinet full of this at home in her color is unknown to me. There is nothing bad to say about this product. No down side. Just plain fabulous. — 9 months ago

you have to know how to use it
okxsuave (1 reviews)

i work with bumble and bumble hair powder daily on other people and i myself have it in red for my red hair. you can't spray it ON your head, it needs to be about nine inches away. and you have to spray it in spurts. this is not 80's hairspray, ladies, do not use it as such. i will admit, when i first got it about 3 years ago before i worked at a salon, i was not impressed either BECAUSE I WAS USING IT WRONG. the red dots would come out and it looked like my head was bleeding or something. spray lightly, and more towards your hair at the roots, not your head and not that much. you only need a little and only in spurts. (if you feel the cold aerosol blasts on your head, you are TOO CLOSE.) and lift your hair, spray under sections. not all over everything and not on the very top. also, tease your hair a little when you're done. you're hair will have way more volume that if using hairspray or just alone. i love this product. if you have bought it and are disappointed with it, just play around with it some using some of my pointers and i bet you'll start to see what i'm talking about. i'm gonna give it an 7, bc i know it's not exactly easy to use if you don't work at a salon and understand how. (i'm not making fun, i was one of those people) — 1 year, 2 months ago

Why did they make this a spray powder?
robinseggblue (47 reviews)

Disappointing. I liked the original hair powder. The spray while a match to my hair (dark chestnut) left it stiff and unmanageable...like a weird crust coating my strands. I say don't mess with perfection... I would rather use baby powder to absorb oil at the root. Bring back the original and I will rethink my rating!!! — 1 year, 4 months ago

Good Product If You have Slightly Thinning Hair (BLACK)
Air (5 reviews)

As a mom, I have experienced first hand gorgeous thick hair all over my crown throughout pregnancy...and alas, a year after the birth, my hair has thinned considerably on top. This is a good solution to camoflage any shiny scalp areas in addition to adding texture and volume to your hair. The cons include the following: more on the pricey side, color will rub off on linens. The pros include: as mentioned above, good camoflage for scalp areas, good if you have roots growing in and you are between visits, this product is a spray, it is easier to apply and provides better coverage that brush on powders used for the same purpose, great as a 'dry shampoo' for days when you don't have time to wash your hair but don't want to feel uber greasy. — 1 year, 6 months ago

Love this stuff!
Kellie17 (1 reviews)

Yes, its expensive, but I am saving $ on my shampoo and hair spray since I dont have to use as much of it. I only wash my hair every 3 days and this really takes my oily scalp away. I read that people are getting this all over their bathroom and hands.... are you spraying it all over like hair spray??? The directions just say to spray in layers and comb out. Here is how I use it, I spray at my parts. and then comb. I sperate chunks of hair and spray at the scalp.... I part my hair off to the side in the front across my forehead and then back comb for volume in the back. This product adds volume and density to my fine thin hair! I love it!! — 1 year, 7 months ago
