Beauty and the Review: Dry Shampoo #2

What: Dry Shampoo

Brand: TRESemme FreshStart

Line: Smoothing, for Straight/Normal Hair

Application: "Aerosol", spray on roots all over scalp, rub in

Effectiveness: Sub-par

Longevity: Longevity is difficult to determine as the effectivenss was um...not effective? I guess it should be noted that it does not get worse as the day goes on, hair still looks kinda dirty after application and stays that way

Positives: Can't seem to find many, the only thing that this product has going for it is its scent, it's not amazing, but it's not overpowering either, I can appreciate that. TRESemme has more than one dry shampoo, so maybe the Smoothing for Straight/Normal Hair, is not a good one, I may explore their other options in the future, but right now I have very little faith.
Negatives: I used this product several times, I tried using a "regular" amount, I tried the "less is more" approach and went at it with a "more is much more better" attitude, none of these proved to work. When I used a lot, it made my hair look dirtier and when I used very little, my hair looked dirty because it was still dirty. Using what I thought was a "regular" amount I got a combination of the too much product and not enough product looks. Dirty. 

In a nut shell: I would not suggest you purchase this particular line, but I think it's too soon to write of all types of TRESemme dry shampoo
