I'm not convinced… Review COLAB Dry Shampoo!

After abandoning the whole "don't wash my hair every day"-idea, I haven't be as depending on dry shampoo, as I used to.
But I still have lazy days (mostly when I have to be at work at 8 AM), where I need a bit of help with my oily roots.

Ever since this brand was launched, it has been quite a rage online.
I have been through quite an amount of high street dry shampoos, but I still prefer the TreSemme one, that I started out with.
However I'm still up for trying something new, so I order it online on feelunique.com.

I started out with a full size of the Paris Fragrance - which should be the floral scent.
The first thing, that took me by surprise was, that the scent was extremely over-powering, and all though the day, I could smell it and I really didn't like it! 
It just have this kind of weird "powdery" smell - a bit grandma.

In terms of it being invisible, it pretty much is, but that also means, that it just doesn't do as good a job as the "white" ones in getting the oil to disappear.
I found, that it was fine for a light freshen up, but not when my hair is straight up oily.

Another thing was, that I felt, that it really didn't give my hair any "umpf", but almost made it even more flat.

However it wasn't so bad, that I wasn't willing to give it another go. So recently, I decided to try out another scent and only get the small version, but then one invisible and one volume.

The London Scent is so much better - fresh and not at all as overwhelming.

 I got the chance to try out the Extreme Volume, and I was hoping, that it might give the umpf, I didn't feel the original gave.
It gives volume, but not extreme - however it give a huge amount of white powder and gritty/dirty feel.
For me, that really like my hair feeling clean, it just really isn't amazing.

I have to admit, that I probably never will fall in love with this brand.
With that said, if you just need a dry shampoo to do a light freshen up, the invisible formula is fine (however I would stay away from the Paris scent) and if you really like gritty/dirty feeling hair, with somewhat volume, the Volume version might work for you.

So I will stay with my TreSemme for now, and probably not get any more of these even though they are quite a bit cheaper.

So for me this is only a 2 on the Rating Scale.
