I've tried many dry shampoos and one of my very favorites for years now is Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo. It's awesome stuff. I have also tried the Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo Spray, but I did not love the spray formula because the can weirdly ran out on me after like two uses. Maybe I got a faulty can? But it happened to me twice... But the lovelies over at Lock & Mane sent me a sample of the new Oscar Blandi Pronto Invisible Volumizing Dry Shampoo Spray, ...

Case in point: One of my all time favorite dry shampoos is Oscar Blandi’s Pronto Dry. The powder form is amazing, but the spray is ...
