Yup it's a powder, but I'm pretty sure people only use it between washes when they don't want to, or can't, wash their hair, or when they're caught in a pinch and need to rush out the door without greasy hair but don't have time to wash and dry.
Dry shampoo just absorbs the oil in your hair, so people apply it at the roots - you can do the same with baby powder if you have light hair. But it's really only a very temporary solution and I don't think it's what you're looking for because you still have to wash it out.
Hope that helps a bit!
Yeah, I've imagined it doing something along those lines. To hide my greasy roots, I just brush on a little translucent powder. It does the trick!
