Happy Valentines day! I will now be doing my second 6 part series of my new Beauty Army Kit where I review each of my new samples and their relative value.
Today I’m going to share my opinion on the Freeman Beauty Pssssst Instant Dry Shampoo. I find it interesting that Freeman Beauty is sharing their products through at least 2 different sample programs. Obviously this one is from Beauty Army, but you may remember my Freeman Beauty Cucumber Peel-Off mask from my MyGlam in the January bag.
I really liked the mask, so I was pretty excited to try this – also I had never heard of dry shampoo before about 6 months ago – and had still never tried it – so I wanted to see how it would work
In case you are like me and are unfamiliar with dry shampoo, the idea behind it is to add a product that absorbs oil to your hair, and then to remove that product once the oil is absorbed. They have figured out a few different solutions to this. Freeman’s solution is an aerosal can that contains Butane, Propane, SD Alcohol 40-B, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Isobutane, Cyclomethicone, Fragrance. (do not smoke, light a candle, cook, or anything with fire) when applying this product. What you are supposed to do is spray it on, wait a few minutes, then brush your hair out.
Does it work? Well I put it to quite the test. Because I have scalp psoriasis I am an every other or every third day hair washer – which usually leaves my hair in a pony tail on day 2 and 3 because it won’t style and just doesn’t look good.
I applied pssssst to my hair as directed. I then put on my makeup. After my makeup was done I brushed my hair. My poor boar’s hair brush sure did see the results of the product. It created a very fine lint like substance that came off my hair and onto the brush when I put it through my hair. My hair looked good though – and it was manageable. I was able to style it normally and no one could tell that I hadn’t just washed and dried my hair.
So impressed was I that I tried it again today. The second day did not leave my hair as easy to style – but it still looked clean so into my ponytail it went – but gosh it was a great looking pony tail.
Here is the breakdown:
- Full Size: 5.3 oz
- Full Size Cost: $6.99
- Sample Size: 1.76 oz
- Sample Value: $2.32
Would I get it again? Definitely – It is not something I will use often – but in a pinch it can save a lot of time.

Today I bring you Traditions by Nick Chavez Yucca Shampooing Cream which I received in my March Birchbox. This light blue/green gel is supposed to “boost shine levels and fortifie each follicle, preventing excess hair loss. Wild yam encourages healthy hair growth, while the mildest dose of peppermint oil will leave your scalp tingly and refreshed.”
