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’ve been using spray dry shampoo for years now before finding this. I have long, fine hair and Italian skin that gets greasy af. Usually I would have to use dry shampoo every morning that I wasn’t washing my hair if not again later on in the day. With this though one application can take me through 2, maybe even 3 days (and that’s including working out every day). I was skeptical at first but adore this and am have recommended it to several friendsA potential flaw is that I have dyed orange hair. I can see it being possible that this may not look as good on dark hair but I don’t have any first hand knowledge of that so can’t speak on that for sure

Like other reviewers, I have tried a lot of different dry shampoos over the years, bit powders and sprays. I’ve now tried this on clean hair to make it last longer before looking limp, and on extremely oily dirty hair when I didn’t have time to wash it before going somewhere last minute. A little really does go a long way, and I’m still trying to use less than I think I need while applying it. Do a couple pats where you want it, and wait a few minutes to see if it’s enough after working it in and giving it time to work. Yeah it may look dull, powdery, or crunchy if you use too much. But this works so much better than anything else I’ve tried. I’m not even worried about the small size, because so little product is needed (4 pats compared to 10+ sprays of aerosol dry shampoo). Idk how healthy it is for my sensitive scalp so I’ll try to keep it as a secret weapon rather than every day use. I wish I had had this for previous international trips where I had to worry about tsa liquids/sprays or need to get going in a hurry for tours and trains etc.

This product is easy to use and gets rid of oily hair instantly. It also gives a lot of volume to your hair. After you puff the powder on, you do need to brush it into your hair.The only downside is that it gives my hair (straight, thick, and starts getting oily around 4 days after a wash) a crunchy/gritty texture on top of my hair. After I wash out, my hair isn't damaged, so it's just a surface texture change.

TLDR: effective powder, ineffective (or at the very least inconvenient) application. Don’t dislike enough to return since it does work really well. Don’t like enough to use since it’s hard to control amount and doesn’t seem great for people with sensitive skin (like me).Context: I have incredibly fine/thin hair, and not a lot of it. So, hair volume and hair oiliness have always been issues. I’ve used aerosol dry shampoos for the past decade of my life but came across this product and decided to try it.Works? Yes 100%! Dabbed it along my hairline after not washing my hair (with shampoo/conditioner) for two days, and it completely stripped the oily feeling away! My hair felt good as new.Application? Imagine a pressed powder product, but instead of using a sponge to apply it, it comes with a sponge pre-attached. Up to you how you decide to feel about that. I personally dislike it; it makes it a lot harder to control the amount of product being applied and easily leads to overuse. Also inconvenient in general—said pre-attached sponge touches my skin pretty often and would hence need to be washed (I have incredibly sensitive skin, so clean products are a must). But how am I supposed to do that?Verdict: Incredibly effective, so I immediately like the product enough to not return it. But the application or the method provided makes it difficult to use daily and use efficiently. I like the product itself (the powder), but can’t find the willpower to actually deal with it every time I leave the house.

 Was this used and sold again?There was a hair under the cap, clearly it was there before it was opened, I saw it poking out of the side before I removed the lid.You can also tell it was there before by the way it was bent to conform with the shape.I’m assuming but either it was from manufacturing/packing or returned after someone used it and was sold again?Either way, someone’s hair is not what you want to see when you receive this

At first I was amazing and then i ran my fingers through my hair and became disgusted. leaves the worst residue, my hair feels extremely stiff and it even makes my hands feel dry after i touch my hair. also see a slight white caste. i think its only for some types of hair, i have thin fine hair and it did not work for me. also $27 with taxes for this tiny thing is ridiculous.

This stuff is horrible. Used it one time on my daughter's and it made her hair extremely knotty and staticky. I couldn't even run my fingers through it to massage it into her scalp because it was so knotted. Then I looked at the container and there was almost nothing left in it. Unbelievable it was about empty after one use. Do not waste your money on this crap.

This product is horrible. Used a light amount in my hair and it made my hair disgusting. I couldn’t even get my fingers through my hair, I tried to brush it out for an hour and it doesn’t come out. Then I had to rewash my hair and my hair was still like hay after and I could still feel the product in it.

Awful! I’m not one to write reviews but I was so excited about this product because of all the positive reviews. I wanted to try a non-aerosol dry shampoo (my go to has been batiste original) and I am so disappointed. My hair feels dirtier post application.I even tested on clean hair for the volume effect. It then appears like I have dandruff because of white flakes that shake off my hair.
