Pair it with

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 odour—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 a virtually no-residue dry shampoo, powered by ultra-fine, high-performance starches that absorb oil without leaving behind any powdery residue. In lab tests, it showed virtually no white cast, even on dark hair.

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

+

Most dry shampoos use low-quality powders that sit on top of the oil, creating a gritty, chalky, buildup-heavy feeling. Insta-WOW’s breakthrough technology actively cleans and removes oils, leaving your hair clean-feeling—not clumpy or congested.

Can Color WOW Insta-WOW clog your hair follicles?

+

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 deodoriser to prevent odours from sticking to your strands

 Is Color WOW Insta-WOW safe for daily use?

+

Yes. Because Insta-WOW actively cleans and doesn’t build up, it’s safe to use any time you want to refresh your style or stretch your wash day.

Does Color WOW Insta-WOW have a scent?

+

Yes. It has a crisp, clean fragrance with notes of apple blossom, jasmine, and lily of the valley.

What makes Color WOW Insta-WOW different from other dry shampoos?

+

Insta-WOW is the only dry shampoo powered by Active Cleansing Technology. It combines a shampoo-grade cleanser and ultra-fine, high performance starches to deliver results like a true shampoo clean.

    Not your normal dry shampoo, thank goodness!!

    At last the clever people at Colour Wow have come up with a ‘dry’ shampoo that isn’t white and powdery. Don’t know how they’ve done it but a quick spray aimed at the roots, a brush through and behold, your hair is not white and dull, but bouncy, shiny, and smells lovely! Hooray! Thank you Colour Wow!!
