This is ‘Not Your Mother’s’ Clean Freak Dry Shampoo! (Beauty Review)

December 17, 2013 Katie Marie 9 Comments

The first product I’m going to review (from the box of products I received from Influenster) is the dry shampoo from Not Your Mother’s.

About Not Your Mother’s Clean Freak….

Get that perfect hair (and the perfect guy!) before all the other girls. Expect more room on your social calendar because this salon formula dry shampoo will have you and your hair ready for a night out on the town.

Absorbs excess oils
Cleans without water
Light matte finish






My Review…

First Impression…
I like the packaging of ALL Not Your Mother’s hair products, and Clean Freak
is just as eye-appealing. I love how the can is mostly white but with the grassy look at the top it really adds something unique. I just think the packaging looks so high end. ๐Ÿ™‚ As I said in my post yesterday, this product was the one I was the most excited to try…so, of course, it’s the one I’m going to review on here first. ๐Ÿ™‚

The Product & Application…
The nozzle on this can is really perfect — I love how it sprays out and really gives you a strong stream, but not too much product, in my opinion. It’s very misty and, when I used it, it didn’t leave any white residue in my hair. Which I was very thankful for! ๐Ÿ™‚ The smell for this product is really hard to put a finger on…(I’m really bad at naming scents)…but it’s kind of close to an air freshener scent….but not the kind of air freshener I like. Haha! ๐Ÿ˜› It is pretty strong when you first spray it, but it goes away very quickly and doesn’t linger in your hair at all. So not a big deal for me. I sprayed it at my (very oily) roots and after letting it sit for a minute, I used a brush to make sure it was dispersed throughout my hair. The oily-ness was instantly gone! It gave my hair a very matte, fresh look that I want when I have 2 or 3-day old hair.


Major Likes…
The best part about this dry shampoo was that it didn’t make my hair feel all cakey/dirty. Usually, with the dry shampoos I’ve used in the past, after I use them my hair feels really heavy, cakey, and…just all around yucky. It’ll looks clean, but it’ll feel dirty. But! With Not Your Mother’s Clean Freak
, it doesn’t do that! Even now — a day after I used the dry shampoo in my hair — my hair still feels great. Not really oily, either! This is a great bonus for me, since I personally don’t like washing my hair every time I shower — it’s healthier to let your hair several days before washing. So, all that said, the fact that this Clean Freak
not only made my hair look clean, but feel clean to, made me fall in love with this dry shampoo!

Major Dislikes…
It would have to be the smell. While it isn’t bad…it is pretty weird when you are using the stuff on your hair. I am really thankful that it doesn’t linger more than a minute or two. With this kind of smell, though, it might not bother some people. It might just be a quirk of mine. But even though it doesn’t smell the greatest, I still plan to use this bottle up and purchase this for my use in the future. The smell doesn’t last long and the results of this product is awesome and does last long. ๐Ÿ™‚

Final Thoughts…
If you haven’t guess — after reading all my remarks above — I really, really like this product and highly recommend it! The smell is the only slight draw-back to this product — if Not Your Mother’s fixed that, this would be an instant holy grail of mine. ๐Ÿ™‚ In comparison with my previous experiences using other dry shampoos, Not Your Mother’s Clean Freak
is the best I’ve ever used!

I received this product from Influenster for free in order to review. It was not required that I give a positive review, but solely to express my own thoughts and opinions of this product, which I have done. I only recommend products and/or services that I have personally used or experienced and that I believe will be good for my readers.

    Looks like a great product. I haven't heard of the is brand but I always like to read other people reviews and see what they think and in return I will go and try it out. So, I will have to consider this as well. Thanks for sharing.

    This is another product I would like to try. I have never given dry shampoo a thought. But would like to see how it would work on my thick hair.

    Thanks for this great product review. I've never used a dry shampoo before, but I read about them in magazines all the time. I absolutely love the name of this product and the earthy feel of the bottle image. I will have to give this one a try!

    Show Me Mama – I hope you enjoy it if you do give it a try. I've been enjoying mine a lot!

    Autumn – I haven't given dry shampoo much of a try, either. I've only tried a few in the past, and never really liked the results. But this one I actually like how my hair looks AND feels after using!

    Krystal – Glad you like their smell! I guess I'm just funny with smells. It's not awful…just something I don't like. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Nicole – Dry shampoos are a good way to go to help keep your hair healthy by stretching the days between washing. Hope you enjoy it if you purchase it!

    Dry shampoo feels gross, but it works. How would his stuff compare to the Batiste sprays that are designed for specific hair colors? I use the brown one and it's effective but feels so heavy.

    Luz – Hmm, I actually haven't tried the batiste spray. But I would agree that it would be better, because you do have to work these into your hair a little or you will have a white cast to your hair.

    I'll try to get my hands on a Batiste spray sometime in the near future, and when I do I'll write a review for you, comparing them ๐Ÿ™‚
