Kristin Ess Dry Shampoo Powder for Oily Hair, 1.3 oz — Mattifying, Fragrance-Free Travel Size

Kristin Ess Hair Dry Shampoo Non-Aerosol Powder instantly absorbs excess oil at the roots to mattify, refresh, and extend styles without water or added fragrance.

When scalp oil shows up faster than you want, this lightweight, non-aerosol powder is designed to refresh hair between washes. The compact 1.3 oz jar fits into a bathroom cabinet or travel bag, while the powder formula blends into most shades to restore volume and reduce shine without heavy residue. Formulated for oily scalp types, it's vegan, cruelty-free, and free of added fragrance, sulfates, parabens, phthalates, silicones, and gluten.

How do I use this dry shampoo to remove excess oil?

Apply the powder where oil builds up most—typically along the part and at the crown. Work a small amount in with fingers or a clean brush, then massage or comb to distribute and blend the product into the roots for a natural finish.

• Twist or tap a small amount into palm or directly at roots.
• Use fingertips to work product into the scalp in circular motions.
• Brush through to blend and lift roots for added volume.

Will this leave a white cast on darker hair?

The powder formula is designed to be easily blended into most hair shades; using a light hand and thorough blending reduces visible residue. Start with a small amount and build only if needed to avoid any powdery appearance, especially on very dark hair.

• Apply sparingly at first, focusing on oily zones.
• Massage and brush to remove excess and distribute evenly.
• Use a clean brush or blow-dry briefly on low for extra blending.

How does this product affect my hairstyle and longevity?

Beyond oil absorption, the powder adds grip and subtle texture to the roots so styles hold longer between washes. It refreshes second- or third-day hair, making it easier to restyle or touch up without stripping color or keratin treatments.

• Mattifies and reduces shine for a fresher look.
• Provides light root lift and texture for easier styling.
• Safe to use on color- and keratin-treated hair.

Is this safe for sensitive scalps and travel-friendly?

The formula contains no added fragrance and avoids common irritants like sulfates, parabens, silicones, and gluten, making it a considerate choice for sensitive scalps. Its compact, non-aerosol packaging is TSA-friendly and convenient for on-the-go touch-ups.

• Fragrance-free formulation reduces scent sensitivity risk.
• No aerosol propellants—cleaner application and travel friendly.
• Vegan and cruelty-free with simple ingredient profile.
