K18 AirWash Reddit Community Reviews

Written by

After reading through multiple threads about the K18 AirWash, here’s what redditors are actually saying about this $48 K18 AirWash Dry Shampoo.



The Good

  • It actually works: “It’s AMAZING. I have thin hair that’s greasy after one day… my hair looked like I just washed it, shiny, smooth, and stayed that way for days” (8+ upvotes)
  • No white residue: “Did not leave my hair chalky, dry, white, stiff, or anything” – major plus for dark hair
  • Worth it long-term: “One bottle lasts significantly longer than aerosol cans” – making the price easier to swallow for some
  • Adds texture without the crunch: “I can still run my fingers through my hair” even with volume
  • Unique application: “Sprays in kind of wet and then a couple brushes and it looks clean”


The Not So Good

  • The price tag: “$48 for dry shampoo?!? I’ll stick to my slicked back buns for now” (174+ upvotes)
  • Learning curve: “My roots end up a sticky gummy mess like I sprayed a ton of hairspray on oily hair”
  • Travel problems: Too big for carry-on at 118ml [K18 does now have a mini travel size]
  • Quality control issues: Multiple reports of broken pumps after minimal use
  • Can be difficult to remove: “Had to use a clarifying shampoo with a triple wash to get it all out”


Tips from people who don’t hate it

  • Spray from far away
  • Massage in immediately while still damp
  • Less is definitely more with this product
  • Some apply to hands first, then hair

The Verdict

The K18 AirWash Dry Shampoo divides Reddit between “total game changer” and “absolute waste of money.” Seems best for people with fine, oily hair who’ve tried everything else and don’t mind paying premium prices.
