I DEW CARE Biotin Clarifying Dry Shampoo - Tap Secret Black | Strengthening & Volumizing, Powder Type, Refillable, Travel size, Non-aerosol, Black Hair, Korean Ginseng, 0.24 Oz

UPDATE 11/24/23 so you know I’m so invested in sharing our love for this 😂 and if it helps even one person, mama, daughter, etc., I’ll be happy: we still LOVE THIS product and have repurchased one time so it lasted about 6 weeks for us regularly doing the same routine as below. She plays sports formally 4 days a week and is very active most other days or has gym at least. As a reminder, she’s usually very greasy and is in the throes of hormones from starting puberty so extra sweat and grease 😅. Also, awesome money-saving/product-panning tip (IYKYK): I realized the applicator/puff is refillable so I had a lightbulb moment when thinking about WHY this product was so effective. I began thinking of what I can refill it with (possibly at a cost savings because even though we loved it, frequent repurchases and costs were imminent) and started looking at powder dry shampoo of all kinds. I was about to purchase the expensive beloved bumble & bumble dry shampoo (because it lasts forever), or other brands I hadn’t tried before. Then, while doing my makeup one day, it dawned on me that the Tap secret powder texture is very similar to the Elf HD powder which I love and use religiously, even over other more expensive products. Like a huge nerd, I then researched the ingredients in dry shampoo powders of all kinds/brands, loose setting powders, etc., and realized that the common ingredient was often silica which, duh, absorbs oil. I am sure that so many of us have tons of loose finishing powders laying around that we may not have loved for our face (banana powder for me) or cheaper products that we do love that we could fill this applicator with at a cost savings (Elf HD powder for me, which is half the price of the original Tap secret). I have now filled the original applicator with a mix of banana powder and the HD powder and Y’ALL 💡🤯. I will still repurchase and support this brand and product and to be fair, it is slightly more effective than the HD powder. Also, not all folks will be able to be compatible with banana powder color-wise (though I suggest mixing with cocoa powder and you might be 😭) or purchase the HD powder just for this (I always have the HD powder on hand so makes sense for me). BUT, the applicator is amazing and to be able to use up random setting powders in my vanity and save money? Freakin’ amazing.ORIGINAL REVIEW:Of course we all love freshly washed hair but sometimes it’s nice or necessary to prolong a hair wash! I wish I took day by day pictures of my daughter’s hair this week. I will preface this by saying that I am someone who is a little obsessive about appearance and especially hygiene and being and looking clean. I’m trying and have done well with trying not to push those tendencies on my daughter but she has entered sweaty, smelly puberty 💀.I have very dry, very curly hair so when I had my daughter who is now ten and has mostly straight hair that is prone to be oily, I had to learn how to best care for her hair as well. Her hair is often greasy by day two especially with sports and now puberty. It’s not that it looks bad but it’s not as nice as freshly washed. She always showers or bathes every day and cares for her skin, but it is nice to be able to skip a day or two a week of fully washing her hair, especially before bed. We live on the beach in a very humid climate but have cold/wet winter. In the summer, she washes her hair every night because of camp and swimming. Since it is hot outside, we can also do in the morning as well. In the fall and winter in our cold climate, we have to fully blow dry wet hair. I’ve tried every shampoo and conditioner combination, salicylic acid shampoo, nizoral, clarifying shampoo, no conditioner, conditioning the scalp, etc and have finally found the perfect solution in combination with this product! I have tried - and hated - almost every aerosol dry shampoo on her hair. Of course some of them are nice but they get expensive and the cans don’t last long. Travel is a pain and expensive to buy travel size. They often make it look like she has dandruff as well and she hates how it has a white cast. She has dark blonde hair.We got her this dry shampoo and she did her usual full shampoo and conditioner with everything else on Sunday. She sat with microfiber plop in for one hour then we blow dried completely. Monday her hair still looked great so she took a “body bath” only and I lightly used this puff for the first time on Monday. The reviews said it works best if you use dry shampoo BEFORE the hair gets oily. I did this and brushed it from roots to tips with a boar bristle brush. I thought that was a great tip! Tuesday her hair still looked so fresh that she took a “body shower” and even had soccer practice! It still looked amazing after practice and since it was late, she took a quick body shower and I blew dry her damp hair from sweating. She knew she would have to get up early before school on Wednesday to wash her hair. However on Wednesday, her hair still looked so good that she just washed her body again! Here we are on Thursday morning and she just went to school today with her hair down again!!! I haven’t applied any of the dry shampoo since a couple puffs each on Monday and Tuesday!!!! Absolutely zero dandruff appearance, no smell, zero grease and she still has lovely shine and body! I will say if you use too much, it can cause a chalky, almost hard to brush texture and a white cast but it shakes out with fingers if that makes sense. Darker haired people may want to be careful at first. I was nervous on Tuesday that I’d used too much but it was easy to correct and none of the issues lasted. Im so blown away by this product! I don’t know or care if it is the actual product or the puff applicator but it is incredible and will most definitely repurchase again and again! It will be easy to travel with as well and great for school or work bags. But as I’ve learned, if you use the right amount before developing the oiliness or greasiness, you likely won’t need to apply again! Side note but she hasn’t developed any pimples near her hairline this week and she usually does get one here and there with the start of puberty. I am thinking the hair becoming greasy often made her more prone to pimples!Unreal!If anyone is interested in the total routine that I’ve found for her hair, I’ll post below. She has pretty thick, mostly straight, dark blonde hair and we have struggled with oily hair, greasy appearance even on freshly washed hair at times and thick flaking like she used to get with “cradle cap” as a baby and toddler. Her crown and hairline get the greasiest. The absolute best combo now includes this dry shampoo but her hair wash routine is wash thoroughly (scalp and hair) with 3% salicylic acid shampoo (I use the Walgreens brand) and let sit on scalp for a few minutes. Rinse thoroughly. Shampoo for second time with silicone and mineral oil free shampoo (currently using the Pantene bamboo line which we both love) and rinse thoroughly. Conditioner lightly (maybe a teaspoon for her thick shoulder length hair) but be sure to massage into scalp. She is currently using my Shea Moisture conditioner but we use so little it doesn’t weigh either of our hair down. A dry scalp can over produce oil to try and over compensate. Since I started doing that it reduced a bit. Make sure to rinse thoroughly! Also the blow dry completely trick is important.All of this now with the dry shampoo is HOLY GRAIL!The rest of the week, we shampoo her only once with the bamboo shampoo so SA shampoo only once a week. It would be too drying otherwise. It’s nice that the bamboo shampoo is one that we both can use. Before this dry shampoo, we still washed 4-5 times a week or suffered the consequences in a greasy up-do ugh. Now we have the freedom to shampoo less if convenient especially in the colder months!Im so grateful to be able to help my daughter find her holy grail routine as she enters puberty and feel so happy to have found this product! Can’t recommend this product enough!

I recently got my hands on the I DEW CARE Biotin Clarifying Dry Shampoo, and I'm excited to share my thoughts. As someone who's always on the go, I was drawn to this product for its promise of convenience and effectiveness.The non-aerosol formula and benzene-free ingredients are a big plus for me, and the detangling hair brush is a genius addition that makes my life easier. The clarifying properties of the dry shampoo actually work to absorb excess oil and impurities, leaving my hair feeling fresh and clean.One thing to note is that the tap secret box might take a bit of getting used to, but it's worth the learning curve. While it's not a miracle worker for super oily hair, it definitely helps extend the time between washes.Overall, I'm really happy with this dry shampoo. It's a great solution for my hair needs, and I'm looking forward to using it for the next few months to see how it holds up. I'll be sure to update my review with my findings. For now, I'm impressed, and I think it's a great choice for anyone looking for a reliable and effective dry shampoo.

This is one of the best dry shampoos I have used, and that includes the application method, but this company seriously needs to rethink the packaging. The container unscrews in two places: one detaches the applicator so you can use it. The other actually opens the powder receptacle (why??), and if you accidentally open from the wrong end, the powder spills out, and it will stain your counter and clothing. The container has text telling you to not to open the powder side unless you mean it, but because the entire container is one color and looks the same upside-down, it’s very easy to unscrew the wrong cap. I’ve done it twice while getting ready and had to change my clothes. (It did come out of my jeans with Shout.) I finally put tape over the “wrong” one.The pigment in this (I got Brown) is no joke, which means no white cast plus reasonable grey blending. (I have a few grey hairs that sparkle through after few weeks after coloring my hair and really bother me.) The applicator is great for a controlled application, which I appreciate because the powder is mattifying, and I don’t want my hair to look too dull, and also because it will stain your skin—a good thing if you want to fill in your hairline, a bad thing if you mess up and get it on your temples. I use this before makeup and not after, just in case.Basically they nailed it with this product. Just please update the container with some kind of visual indicator for which end to open.

I DEW CARE Biotin Dry Shampoo is an absolute game-changer, earning every bit of its five stars. This is the only dry shampoo I’ll ever use now that I’ve discovered its magic. It refreshes my hair instantly, adding volume and a subtle, clean scent that lasts all day. The biotin-infused formula leaves my strands feeling stronger and healthier, without any powdery residue. It’s lightweight, blends effortlessly, and works wonders on my busy days. Truly a must-have gem for anyone seeking flawless, fuss-free hair.
