    Cleaning isn’t the goal, appearing clean and absorbing excess oil is the goal, which it achieves easily.

    I’ve never seen one claim it cleans, just that it makes your hair look less greasy, which it does.

    It’s ablist as fuck, and the stuff does actually remove grease.

      Only a small amount of the powder gets removed by brushing. It mostly functions by absorbing the grease and staying on the hair. And adding perfume. Which works, so it’s great and all. Proof that it doesn’t take all the grease away is that you can’t just keep applying dry shampoo, eventually it gets really nasty.
      I don’t understand the ablist part. I’ve used the stuff on my daughters occasionally just because typical chaos mornings made it really useful. But I had to explain to them how they still needed to wash their hair regularly. Same would go for someone who has difficulty washing their hair for reasons other than running out of time.
      Use whatever tools work for you. But the marketing of the product is quite misleading - but effective as can be seen by people thinking it actually removes a significant amount of grease from the hair.
