This is a very light dry shampoo regarding weight and feel. It’s not strongly scented, which I prefer and I actually couldn’t smell it on myself. I couldn’t see white residue on my very dark hair but I use it under it, not on top. I use dry shampoo sparingly and usually to extend the life of my blowout. I’ll use it once then wash it at the end of the day. You could also apply it right after blow drying to maintain volume.
The best part for my perfume-loving friends is that this isn’t strongly scented. There’s a bit of a lemony top note but other than that it’s scent-less but stink-absorbing. Try it out.
