This Equate Dry Shampoo works just as well as the name brand stuff for a fraction of the cost IMO. I do prefer the scent of the name brand stuff slightly better, but this still smells good. for the price difference I'm not going to be picky haha! It does what it's supposed to, absorbs oil. I have darker, ash blonde hair and as long as I rub it in with my fingers after applying, there is no white residue. My hair is kind of thi and this gives it a nice volume boost too. sometimes I even use it on clean hair just for the volume.

While it's not quite as fantastic as Batiste, it's a great alternative for someone on a budget. I've found that this is the only dry shampoo that even comes close to being as good as Batiste.

Great dry shampoo

I've used several dry shampoo's, and thought I'd try this Equate brand. It was lower in price, and just as good as the expensive brands. It had a nice light fragrance, and gave me lots of volume.

Good shampoo and great price!

This is my first purchase of a dry shampoo. I bought it because we had a major water main break in the area where I live and I was unable to wash my hair. I purchased this dry shampoo after comparing it to other ones and decided that this one seem to be just as good as other more expensive ones. I am happy with my purchase. It has a light scent and is for all hair types. I highly recommend it!

Absorbs oil, makes hair fuller and smells nice. Price is excellent. Can easy to use. Scent is not overpowering and it's not powdery in your hair.

Product thus far is adequate. Did refresh my hair with a pleasant fragrance. Will have to see if comparable to other reviews on this product. At this point I would recommend using the product.

Good until they raised the price…

Worked good. I liked it better than the name brands but usually I would get 10 oz for $7.24, and now they raised the price to $7.99. Not a big deal until I realized the can feels lighter and yup it’s about half as full as it use to be, now it is only 5.71 oz. That’s about half the product for .75 more money! I’ll have to find another brand.

Buyer Beware! Rip Off!

lol, they cut the amount of product you get IN HALF and charge more! That's insane! The old and new cans are the same size on the outside, but, the old can has 10 fl oz and the new 5 fl oz. Come on Walmart! Aside from the games they are playing, this dry shampoo is awesome, best one i have used. i will be looking for something different after the price gouging.

Smaller bottle higher price

This is so bad! This bottle is half the size it use to be but more money??? It’s just as much money to buy the name brands now as the Walmart brand. They are better quality so If I’m going to buy dry shampoo I might as well switch to name brands now!
