Olaplex's latest innovation, its No.4D Clean Volume Detox Dry Shampoo, has proved to be a game changer for me in the few short weeks I've had to test it. The first time I got to try the newest dry shampoo, celebrity hairstylist and Olaplex ambassador Jimmy Paul styled my (unwashed) hair using it. At the time, I was on second-day hair that was beginning to fall flat at the roots and could undoubtedly benefit from being spruced up. Ideal for use after the gym, between washes and when you are heading on a night out straight after work. The first thing to applaud is how lightweight it feels. The shampoo doesn’t settle or leave a powdery residue, but instead, the uber-fine micro starch soaks up oil and gives my hair that weightless and post-wash bounce. I also love how fresh and cleansed it somehow makes my scalp feel. Other dry shampoos I’ve tried – while they help to reduce grease – still can’t mask the fact that my hair is dirty and in serious need of a wash. What’s so pleasing about this formula is that it does a thorough job at eliminating oil, without changing the texture of my hair (aka, there’s no chalkiness in sight). As you might guess, none of this is an accident. Olaplex wanted to create a dry shampoo that solved common dry shampoo woes like residue or irritated scalp. "The formula leaves no grit or powdery residue," says Lavinia Popescu, Olaplex Chief Scientist. "This launch is significant for us as we lean into the skinification of hair, [or] the idea that everything we use on hair not only needs to have a tangible benefit but that ingredients need to boost the health of hair."

Unlike many bottles out there, this dry shampoo applies completely invisible and needs little to zero elbow grease to fluff the product in. It’s as easy as spritz and go. “The formula contains super fine rice starch which allows for impressive oil absorption with the tiniest particles, so it doesn’t irritate the scalp or clog pores,” says Halley. There’s also rambutan seed extract – a good antioxidant source – that soothes the scalp, detoxifies and neutralises pollutants and impurities. Even if I'm not left with white chunks in my hair á la Cruella de Vil, dry shampoo never fails to leave some kind of filmy residue that somehow makes my hair feel even dirtier than what I started with. If you regularly use dry shampoo, you know what I'm talking about—the spray can leave hair feeling like it has an unnatural coat on top of it.Thanks to antioxidant rambutan seed extract, it also promises to ‘detoxify’ the scalp – which according to Olaplex means that it doesn’t cause build-up even after multiple uses and doesn’t leave the scalp itchy as a result – a common bugbear for regular dry shampoo users. Testing the OLAPLEX No.4D Clean Volume Detox Dry Shampoo You'll have surely heard of the brand thanks to their innovative and hugely popular bond building range, which has won a legion of fans for its hair restoring powers.

It was harder to section my curly hair as I didn’t want to disturb my curl pattern – so I lifted the hair where I could and ended up apply the 4D closer to roots in some areas – but at no point did my dark brown hair ever look chalky. As a curly girl I didn’t give it a second thought. Until I started straightening my fine 3c hair and discovered my blow-dry only lasted about 3 days, after which my roots became greasy and flat. I resorted to wearing headbands until I remembered that weird shampoo in a can and I hot footed it to the shops to get some. Once I was done massaging it in (this took all of around two seconds), I was genuinely shook. My hair felt clean. And what's more, it looked clean, too. In fact, a friend actually asked me what I'd done to my hair for it to look so full of volume. And that isn't the sort of compliment I'm used to getting.For best results, section the hair into manageable size pieces, and shake the can before use. Holding the can 6”-10” from the scalp, spray onto the roots, and then wait 30 seconds before massaging the product in.

I realize this may be a controversial opinion, but I typically steer clear of dry shampoos at all costs. I have deep, raven-toned hair. No matter what dry shampoo I use and how much I rub it in, it seems that I'm always battling white streaks at my roots. A dry shampoo that’s clinically proven not to leave a white, powdery residue? And it rebuilds broken bonds in the hair? Yes, please! OLAPLEX creates solutions via haircare innovation to solve your hair concerns. When a product is launched, the thought first is, how can we solve our users’ concerns while making their hair healthier than before? In Nº.4D, we do it with antioxidant-rich rambutan seed extract that soothes the scalp and detoxifies to neutralize and repel odor-causing pollutants. We also use ultra-fine micro starch from rice to absorb oil for clean, soft hair without a trace of residue or gritty buildup. Ideal for all hair types, including hair extensions, Olaplex No 4D Clean Volume Detox Dry Shampoo combines skincare and haircare science to create a light as air, residue free, sensitive scalp suitable dry shampoo, that will leave hair feeling looking fresh and feeling weightless.

OLAPLEX No 4D Clean Volume Detox Dry Shampoo 250ml. We love dry shampoos as they are a really effective way to increase the interval between washes. Use a dry shampoo from the 2nd day after washing. On the 3rd day you can wear your hair up before washing again on the 4th day. How much to use: In particular, Olaplex wanted to ensure that its dry shampoo focused on a hot-button issue lately: scalp health. You can't have healthy hair if you don't start with a healthy scalp. "Your scalp is skin, and if that skin is disrupted in any way, your hair will not look its best," says Popescu.Clearly, I got the VIP treatment when Paul did my hair, but let's talk about my experience test-driving the Olaplex No.4D Clean Volume Detox Dry Shampoo at home. To truly test out this dry shampoo's capabilities, I decided to ask the absolute most of it. I went on a run in the morning on third-day hair, and I had dinner plans that night, so my hair couldn't just look passable, it had to look freshly washed. I also tested it on my curls, as when I wear my hair in its natural state, I only wash it once a week, but I apply de-frizzing, and defining products daily, so it can get weighed down and greasy too.
