Why it’s WOW:

  • Powered by real cleansing tech

  • Best dry shampoo for dark hair, color-treated hair
  • Non-dulling, less whitening, no gritty texture
  • Leaves color light, bright and glossy again

  • Helps normalize excess sebum production
  • Deodorizing formula helps prevent odor absorption

Most dry shampoos sit on top of oil, forming clumps and a gritty texture. Insta-WOW dry shampoo spray contains a shampoo-grade cleanser that actually dissolves oil into micro-droplets (just like a real shampoo), while ultra-fine, high-performance starches absorb it and give it a slip factor which makes it possible to brush it off the hair. Oil and grime disappear, leaving hair clean.

These starches do double duty:

 ➤ Maximum absorption to soak up oil, sweat, and buildup

 ➤ Built-in slip so oil slides off effortlessly with a brush

Frequently Asked Questions

What does COLOR WOW Insta-WOW dry shampoo do?

+

Unlike typical dry shampoos that just mask oil, Insta-WOW actually cleans your hair. It uses shampoo-grade cleansing ingredients to break down and lift away oil, impurities, and odor—leaving your hair soft, silky, and fresh, as if it were just washed.

How do I use COLOR WOW Insta-WOW dry shampoo?

+

Shake well, then spray toward the roots from 8 inches away, lifting sections to reach underneath. Let it sit for a few seconds, then rake through with fingers and brush to reveal clean, refreshed hair.

Does COLOR WOW Insta-WOW dry shampoo leave white residue?

+

Insta-WOW is powered by ultra-fine, high-performance starches that absorb oil. In lab tests, it showed virtually no white cast, even on dark hair.

Why does my hair feel dirty after using other dry shampoos?

+

Insta-WOW is designed to be brush-out-able, leaving virtually no residues, so it won’t build up or block follicles. That means a cleaner scalp and no gunky residue.

How does COLOR WOW Insta-WOW help with scalp health?

+

It’s more than a dry shampoo—it’s scalp care, too. Insta-WOW:

  • Helps rebalance the scalp’s microbiome to reduce excess oil production
  • Provides anti-pollution protection
  • Includes a deodorizer to prevent odors from sticking to your strands

 Is COLOR WOW Insta-WOW safe for daily use?
