Overview
Not a spray dry shampoo, the Alterna Meltaway cleanser is a cream that dries down to a powder on the hair. Micellar cleansing traps oil and sweat and loosens styling product, so hair feels freshly washed and easy to restyle without water.
Waterless cleansing that also breaks down product buildup makes second and third day hair easier to restyle. The cream format avoids an aerosol cloud, but the listing does not say how it looks on dark hair or how much to apply.
Who it's for
Gym goers and people stretching time between washes will reach for it most. Those with a flaky or irritated scalp need a real wash and a treatment instead.
Pros and cons
- No water needed
- Absorbs oil and sweat

- Cream format, no aerosol
- No usage directions listed
- Hair type guidance not given
- Residue on dark hair not described
Performance notes
The cream spreads where you place it and turns powdery as it dries, so working it into the roots controls where oil gets absorbed. The micellar base lifts product so brushing afterwards removes it with the oil.
