Reviews

I wish I loved it

"I wish I could say I love this product. The pump design doesn’t work well it’s hard to get enough product out and when you do it does “spray” it well. It also takes a lot of product to absorb grease and get hair looking clean- doesn’t help with volume either. I love primally pure but this product wasn’t it for me:/"

Maryanna (2/5)

Works well

"The applicator of the bottle works great to puff out tiny amounts of powder into the areas you want it so you don’t get a powdery overload of dry shampoo all over the place. It doesn’t feel as chalky once it is in as other dry shampoo I’ve tried before and does the trick between washes."

Rachel S. (5/5)

Works great! Still too light for very dark hair

"I love using this underneath my bangs day to day to help reduce the oiliness that accumulates across the day, especially in summer when I get sweaty. But I still have to put it under my bangs and hide the color because even though it’s listed for “dark hair” it still sits very light against my deep brown-black Asian hair. Better than bright white though. I do like the pump spray as it makes application very precise (I used another brand where you dumped it in your hand and that did not work as well)."

Snow C. (5/5)

Great!

"As someone who uses dry shampoo daily, this one is great and gives good volume. You can feel good about what you’re putting on your scalp. Smells good too! Only thing is if you use a lot, your hand/arm can get fatigue from pumping it out but again small price to pay for no aerosol."

Caitlin C. (5/5)

Smells like chocolate!

"BEWARE! IF you workout or sweat at all while wearing this, it might cause you to crave chocolate of some kind! It definitely does the job and I appreciate the dark color for brunettes!"

Katie S. (5/5)

Not as great as expected

"I was really disappointed with this dry shampoo. The pump is inconsistent and often doesn’t work properly. When I try to unscrew the cap to fix it, the product spills everywhere and creates a huge mess. The brown tint also transfers easily onto countertops, clothing, and anything nearby during application on top of that it doesn’t seem very effective. It actually refreshing your cleansing my hair. My hair still felt greasy afterwards, so I ended up using much more product than I normally would with other dry shampoos."

Samantha R. (1/5)

Volume

"I bought this to do my mother in laws hair for a wedding. She has fine short hair. It smells great. Blended in nicely with her hair. I barely had to tease her hair for the volume. I used it in my bangs also that were looking a little greasy and it worked very well."

Kelsey P. (5/5)

Great product, mediocre packaging

"It’s a great product that works wonders for my oily hair, but the product packaging and dispensing makes it unfriendly to use. Its hard to pull of the cap and twisting it makes it entirely come apart and spill everywhere if you aren’t slow and steady with lifting cap straight up."

Summer (3/5)

💟💟💟

"Dry shampoo makes it so I can go longer between washings. I had one from a different company, but it was hard to dispense and also smelled very strongly of vanilla. I just couldn’t use it. I’m happy to report that the Primally Pure dry shampoo works well, is easy to dispense, and doesn’t have a super strong smell."

Cindy Z. (5/5)

Love it!

"This is a very good quality product! It works well and has a pleasant smell."

Q&A

Is it possible that you will get a dry schampoo without grapefruit (allergic) ?
Oh no! We are sorry to hear about your allergy. At this time we do not have an alternative.
Hello, I’m really interested in purchasing primally pure dry shampoo. I have bright red/almost orange hair so I was wondering if I could use these products with my color hair. If so can you recommend if the dark or light dry shampoo would be better. Thank you
Hi there! For your hair we would recommend our Light Locks. :) Please let us know if we can help with anything else! XO, Pure Team
I have light/medium brown hair with blonde highlights. Which color of dry shampoo would you recommend for me?
HI Melanie, For the hair color that you described, we'd suggest using the Light Locks formula. :) xx, The Pure Team
I'm not sure what color of the dry shampoo to get. My hair is not brunette. But it is not light blond either. It is a mousy/dirty blond. Can you help with this?
We would recommend the Light Locks if you have lighter brown hair, for black hair we would recommend Dark Locks. Please reach out to hello@primallypure.com if you need further assistance. :) XO, Pure Team
Does it fall onto light color clothes and stain anything? Will I see it on my pillow case or my white shirt?
Thanks so much for reaching out! If you are seeing any Dry Shampoo powder residue it would be because you are applying too liberally. Please feel free to reach out to hello@primallypure.com for further assistance. :) XO, Pure Team
