What the formula actually does
Each row says where it comes from: F means we derived it from this product’s own ingredient list, S means it is a claim the brand makes that the formula neither confirms nor contradicts.
Absorbent powders or starches high in the list.
No fast-drying alcohol in the list.
Nothing here needs a detergent wash to remove.
Fragrance is listed; it sits below the working ingredients.
Ingredients that matter
The workhorse ingredients, plus anything lower down that changes a decision. The chips name what an ingredient does. They are not safety scores, and no ingredient here is rated good or bad on its own.

In the US, ingredients above 1% are listed from most to least. Below 1% they can appear in any order. Each note keeps three things apart: what the ingredient generally does, its role in this type of product, and what its position can tell you.
A starch that soaks up oil at the roots and adds texture.
Listed in the first three ingredients, it is likely a structural part of this formula.
Adds grip and body with no oil attached, which is what lifts fine hair at the root instead of weighing it down.
Starch gives texture and grip rather than a set film; firm hold usually needs a polymer alongside it.
A fine starch that soaks up oil at the roots and adds grip.
Listed in the first three ingredients, it is likely a structural part of this formula.
Adds grip and body with no oil attached, which is what lifts fine hair at the root instead of weighing it down.
Starch gives texture and grip rather than a set film; firm hold usually needs a polymer alongside it.
A fine starch that absorbs oil and leaves a dry, grippy feel.
Listed in the first three ingredients, it is likely a structural part of this formula.
Adds grip and body with no oil attached, which is what lifts fine hair at the root instead of weighing it down.
Starch gives texture and grip rather than a set film; firm hold usually needs a polymer alongside it.
A soft white clay that absorbs oil and adds body without much grit.
Listed in positions 4–8, it likely makes a meaningful contribution alongside the formula's main ingredients.
Absorbs oil and adds texture, which is what gives fine hair grip at the root instead of slip.
An absorbent solid takes up oil, and hair already short of it has less to give.
A clay used for oil absorption and matte texture.

Baking soda. Used in trace amounts to raise pH; at higher levels it is alkaline enough to swell the cuticle.
It appears around or below the estimated 1% line, where label order no longer indicates relative amount; its role may be minor or technical.
Takes up oil at the root, which is where fine hair goes flat first.
pH adjusters are how a formula is brought to a chosen acidity, and an acidic formula keeps the cuticle lying flatter than an alkaline one. Which way this one moves the pH depends on the formula, and the finished pH is not on the label.
Included in scalp and thickening products for label appeal. Evidence for applied caffeine changing hair growth is limited.
It appears around or below the estimated 1% line, where label order no longer indicates relative amount; its role may be minor or technical.
A copper-bound peptide used at low levels in scalp and thinning-positioned formulas.
It appears around or below the estimated 1% line, where label order no longer indicates relative amount; its role may be minor or technical.
Unhydrolysed protein is too large to enter the strand. It sits on the surface, which is a coating effect rather than internal reinforcement.
The oil pressed from Coffee (Coffea Arabica). How much weight a plant oil leaves depends on the hair it lands on; coarse hair tends to take more of it than fine hair.
It appears around or below the estimated 1% line, where label order no longer indicates relative amount; its role may be minor or technical.
Coats the surface and slows water leaving the strand, which is usually what coarse hair that dries out fast is missing.
A thin oil layer lowers friction between strands and flattens the raised cuticle that scatters light and catches on its neighbours.
Glycerin, also called glycerol, attracts moisture and mixes completely with water.
It appears around or below the estimated 1% line, where label order no longer indicates relative amount; its role may be minor or technical.
High-porosity hair loses water fast; a humectant holds some of it in place for longer than the wash itself would.
Binds water into the outer layers of the strand, and water is what makes dry hair flexible again rather than brittle.
Water moves both ways. Measured across concentrations, glycerin solutions give water up in some conditions and take it from the air in others. What it does for you depends on how much of it is there and on the air around it.
A light plant oil used to soften and carry other oil-based ingredients.
It appears around or below the estimated 1% line, where label order no longer indicates relative amount; its role may be minor or technical.
Coats the surface and slows water leaving the strand, which is usually what coarse hair that dries out fast is missing.
A thin oil layer lowers friction between strands and flattens the raised cuticle that scatters light and catches on its neighbours.
A gentle, biodegradable chelator that binds hard-water minerals in place of EDTA.
It appears around or below the estimated 1% line, where label order no longer indicates relative amount; its role may be minor or technical.
Binds the calcium and magnesium in hard water, which is what stops mineral deposits accumulating on the strand wash after wash.
Copper and iron carried in tap water deposit on the strand and read as a dull, warm cast on gray or light hair. A chelator holds those metals in solution so the wash carries them off.
The smallest amino acid in hair protein, added for moisture binding.
It appears around or below the estimated 1% line, where label order no longer indicates relative amount; its role may be minor or technical.
Amino acids are the smallest protein fraction and bind water as well, so they add far less stiffness than a hydrolysed protein does.
The lightest option in the protein family, but still protein — worth watching if protein reliably stiffens your hair.
An undisclosed blend of scent ingredients. Regulations let it stay unlisted, so a fragrance-free product is the only way to be certain what is not in it.
It appears around or below the estimated 1% line, where label order no longer indicates relative amount; its role may be minor or technical.
Declared fragrance. On a fragrance-sensitive routine this is the line that decides it, wherever it sits on the label.

Dry shampoo refreshes hair between washes. We describe its ingredient functions without assigning a formula score.
Does the same job
Formulas that do the same things (cleanse, condition, coat or hold) for less per ounce. Scent, texture and where you buy them can still differ.

Final decision
Silicone-free routines who want a silicone-free formula and a matte finish
Worth skipping for anyone sensitive to fragrance or people shopping on a budget
Nothing in our library matches it closely at a lower price.
We do not sell products or take placement fees. This page states what the formula and the prices show; the consultation is what matches it to a person.
Claims check
Claims are quoted from the brand. We mark a claim supported, partly supported or conflicting only when the ingredient list speaks to it. Everything else stays "stated by the brand". That isn’t a criticism: most claims can’t be checked from a label.
