Nexxus Volume Refresh Dry Shampoo, 5 oz

Nexxus Volume Refresh Dry Shampoo is a waterless aerosol refresher in a 5 oz can, sold by Nexxus. It is made for the days between proper washes, when fine or flat-looking hair could use a lift but a full shampoo and conditioner session is not on the cards. No water, no rinse, no lather — just a quick pass over dry hair.

What this dry shampoo actually is

Nexxus Volume Refresh Dry Shampoo is a 5 oz aerosol dry shampoo from Nexxus, a hair care brand that has been on shelves since 1979. It is built as a between-washes refresher, not a stand-in for washing your hair with water, and it is pitched at anyone whose hair reads flat or fine. The product data does not list the ingredients, the fragrance or any free-from flags, so this page sticks to what is confirmed: the brand, the aerosol format, the 5 oz size and the intended use. In a routine it sits as the fast step on days when you want to freshen up without shampooing and conditioning. Worth keeping in mind if you are weighing it against a liquid shampoo: the two do different jobs — one cleanses with water, the other freshens dry hair in between.

How much product to use, and how to apply it

No per-use amount is given in the product data, so there is no stated dose to hand on. Dry shampoos are usually misted on sparingly and built up as needed, but the exact amount for this product is not something this listing can confirm. Start light and add more if you need it, and follow whatever the packaging says about the amount the brand intends.

5 oz can: what you get

This dry shampoo is sold in a single 5 oz aerosol can. That is the only size named in the product data, so there is no smaller travelling can and no larger refill listed alongside it. If you wash your hair a few times a week, a 5 oz aerosol lands in the range most shoppers expect from a mid-size dry shampoo, which makes it a sensible thing to keep in a bathroom cabinet or a gym bag. Because the can is the full stated size, there is no value-per-ounce comparison to make against another size of this same product.

Lather and fragrance: what to expect

Dry shampoo does not behave like a liquid wash. It goes onto dry hair and gets worked through rather than lathered up with water, so it will not foam or build the rich lather a traditional shampoo gives you. The lather question does not really apply here. The product data also does not describe a specific fragrance for this dry shampoo, so this page cannot tell you what it smells like. If scent matters to you, the product label is the best place to check.

Free-from flags: none listed

The product data for this dry shampoo does not list any free-from flags. It does not state that the formulae is sulfate-free, paraben-free, silicone-free, vegan or cruelty-free, so none of those claims appear here. If any of those attributes matter to you, verify them on the product label rather than relying on this listing.
