Customer Reviews of Bumble And Bumble Black Hair Powder For Inky Brown, Asian, Hispanic, Or Goth Shades 4.4-Ounces
Customer Review: I swear by this stuff
Summary: 5 Stars
I love love love this hair powder. I saw it once at someone's house and immediately thought it was for covering up bald spots (what can I say I have an big imagination!). I asked my hair dresser about it and she told me it was great stuff that added a lot of texture to your hair while soaking up all the oil.
I guess I should explain that I like big hair, not 80's big, but hair that looks thick and full of body. When I heard it gives texture, I was sold. Anything that makes it easier to get big hair. I also bought that light brown for my friend who doesn't love big hair but has a problem remembering to wash her hair ;)
So there were using this powder and instantly getting addicted. The stuff is A-Mazing, we both agreed. I can now go 4-5 days without washing my hair (but I am not recommending that, I am just saying that it has allowed me to become lazy with my hair). When I wake up in the morning I just need to fluff the hair and it looks like I spent an hour on it. It definitely gives it the dirty texture so it is easy to style, but it doesn't look dirty.
I have used it on longer hair, shoulder length medium layered hair, AND an a-line bob type. I can basically shape my hair anyway I want and it will hold.
For you blonds, I hear cornstarch has a similar effect.....but for everyone else, invest in this cuz it is worth it.
Okay, even though I love it, I have to say that it is crazy messy. I use the black and have learned not to touch my hair or scratch my head, and I am still scared to go out in the rain with it in. The bathroom now needs to be wiped down every time I get ready, and the shower needs to be wiped down more. But lets be honest, now I have awesome hair AND a clean bathroom!
Customer Review: Give it a chance and you'll appreciate this product
Summary: 5 Stars
I had red highlights done on my hair and wanted to preserve the color for as long as possible and so I bought this product based my stylist's recommendation. The first time I used it I had a really bad experience - (and now looking back) it was mainly because I didn't hold the spray bottle 10-12 inches away according to the instructions. I ended up spraying the powder on my hair like I would with hair spray and I had globs of black powder everywhere. I couldn't even comb my hair through; my fingers and my comb were black and my hair felt sticky. Additionally, everytime my hair touched anything (e.g. comb, clothes, fingers, pillow) it left black marks. It also left my hair feeling oilier than it originally did. After this experience, I figured I just wasted $40.
Last night, I figured I'd give it another try. I saw other customer reviews on Amazon and read how wonderful the product was and I figured I must've done something wrong the first time around. This time, I held the bottle as far back as possible and I sprayed in short pulses. After each spray, I immediately combed my hair through. This time the results were fantastic. I hadn't washed my hair in two days and my hair was really oily. After about 10 minutes of spritzing and combing, my hair looked like a day's old wash. I woke up the next morning, blew dry my hair alittle and it looks great! When I touch my hair, it doesn't leave anything behind either.
The key is take baby steps with this product. Hold the bottle as far back as possible (like an arm's length) and just do little spritzes at a time and comb through. You'll love it.

Bumble and Bumble products are top-of-the-line salon-exclusive world wonders.. for a reason. Upon my first use I screamed from the bathroom to my friend "I think I just found the greatest product ever invented." I look like I have a head full of thick black hair, when in reality it's fine and thin dyed black hair with blond roots (which make me look like I'm going bald). I've been a big fan of dry shampoos for the texture and oil absorption (I have an oily scalp too - a great combo with fine/thin hair, let me tell you.) but when your hair is dark, the clay from the dry shampoos dulls your hair and can even leave grey streaks (yikes!). Once you let it dry and then brush through, it doesn't fall into your face or anything. You can't run your fingers through your hair though, black powder comes off onto your hand. Clear dry shampoos do that too, you just can't see it because it isn't dark like this one. Pair it with some Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray for texturized big hair. With these two products, I look like one of those people who might need to have their thick hair thinned out at the salon.

Summary: 5 Stars
Bumble and Bumble hair powder works for all hair types, but if you have fine hair it is a MUST have.
The powder is an all in one styling tool. It offers unbelievable volume by spraying it on your roots and is a fabulous texturizer. The powder sucks up scalp oils and is finally letting me go multiple days without washing my hair. Us fine-haired gals know our hair looks sooo much better between washings. Bonus, this powder, offered in various shades, helps to hide any grays you might have at your roots.
I have tried other, less expensive, products as well as baby powder for similar effects but this Bumble and Bumble product has met my needs well beyond my expectations. It is worth the high price tag and you can cut out other separate volumizing and texturizing products to offset.
Customer Review: it's ok
Summary: 3 Stars
I have very fine, oily hair. If I don't wash my hair every day, it's extremely noticeable. But as everyone knows, there are days when you have to rush out the door or other circumstances that prevent you from washing your hair.
Because I have black hair and all of the waterless shampoos out there is white, using those products is worse than the oily look. Those dry shampoos make me look like i spray painted my hair gray... yuck.
This is definitely the best one for black hair. However, it gives my hair a very odd texture. My hair is normally very shiny, but this stuff makes it look very dull.
Overall, I only use this when I absolutely have to, but it's much better than the normal dry shampoos, so it's a decent product.
