Even if I'm not left with white chunks in my hair á la Cruella de Vil, dry shampoo never fails to leave some kind of filmy residue that somehow makes my hair feel even dirtier than what I started with. If you regularly use dry shampoo, you know what I'm talking about—the spray can leave hair feeling like it has an unnatural coat on top of it.

OLAPLEX No 4D Clean Volume Detox Dry Shampoo 250ml. We love dry shampoos as they are a really effective way to increase the interval between washes. Use a dry shampoo from the 2nd day after washing. On the 3rd day you can wear your hair up before washing again on the 4th day. How much to use:

Lastly, I'm not sure if this is a me problem or not, but after a mid-afternoon touch-up, I have noticed a little bit of build-up in my roots. It's nothing major (you'd need to get really close to see it), but I can imagine if you have very dark hair that's glossy, this might be a bit of information you'd like to know. Unlike many bottles out there, this dry shampoo applies completely invisible and needs little to zero elbow grease to fluff the product in. It’s as easy as spritz and go. “The formula contains super fine rice starch which allows for impressive oil absorption with the tiniest particles, so it doesn’t irritate the scalp or clog pores,” says Halley. There’s also rambutan seed extract – a good antioxidant source – that soothes the scalp, detoxifies and neutralises pollutants and impurities.

It was harder to section my curly hair as I didn’t want to disturb my curl pattern – so I lifted the hair where I could and ended up apply the 4D closer to roots in some areas – but at no point did my dark brown hair ever look chalky. I also tested it on my curls, as when I wear my hair in its natural state, I only wash it once a week, but I apply de-frizzing, and defining products daily, so it can get weighed down and greasy too. Ideal for use after the gym, between washes and when you are heading on a night out straight after work. Thanks to antioxidant rambutan seed extract, it also promises to ‘detoxify’ the scalp – which according to Olaplex means that it doesn’t cause build-up even after multiple uses and doesn’t leave the scalp itchy as a result – a common bugbear for regular dry shampoo users. Testing the OLAPLEX No.4D Clean Volume Detox Dry Shampoo For best results, section the hair into manageable size pieces, and shake the can before use. Holding the can 6”-10” from the scalp, spray onto the roots, and then wait 30 seconds before massaging the product in.My roots were left lifted with a bit of undone texture, resulting in the sort of look that appeals to my inner Francophile. It was giving the sort of French-girl vibes I've only ever been able to dream of. As all hair extension wearers will know, dry shampoo can be a life saver. Washing your hair extensions can take a long time, and the less you wash them the longer they will last, therefore using a dry shampoo between washes can save time and money in the long run.

As a curly girl I didn’t give it a second thought. Until I started straightening my fine 3c hair and discovered my blow-dry only lasted about 3 days, after which my roots became greasy and flat. I resorted to wearing headbands until I remembered that weird shampoo in a can and I hot footed it to the shops to get some. Another plus point is that they've swapped traditional talc for semi-transparent and ultra-fine brown rice starch, so like any dry shampoo worth its salt, 4D promises to absorb oil and sweat, and neutralise odour, all while adding volume and leaving no chalky residue in its wake. Olaplex's latest innovation, its No.4D Clean Volume Detox Dry Shampoo, has proved to be a game changer for me in the few short weeks I've had to test it. The first time I got to try the newest dry shampoo, celebrity hairstylist and Olaplex ambassador Jimmy Paul styled my (unwashed) hair using it. At the time, I was on second-day hair that was beginning to fall flat at the roots and could undoubtedly benefit from being spruced up.As you might guess, none of this is an accident. Olaplex wanted to create a dry shampoo that solved common dry shampoo woes like residue or irritated scalp. "The formula leaves no grit or powdery residue," says Lavinia Popescu, Olaplex Chief Scientist. "This launch is significant for us as we lean into the skinification of hair, [or] the idea that everything we use on hair not only needs to have a tangible benefit but that ingredients need to boost the health of hair." Once I was done massaging it in (this took all of around two seconds), I was genuinely shook. My hair felt clean. And what's more, it looked clean, too. In fact, a friend actually asked me what I'd done to my hair for it to look so full of volume. And that isn't the sort of compliment I'm used to getting.
