Dupe or Not? Oribe Dry Texturing Spray Vs. Garnier Texture Tease

It has been too dang long since I've shared a Dupe or Not, hasn't it? I have been asked about this one so many times, that I figured it was time to share it. Have you heard of either product? Let's see if this Garnier $4.29 product can stack up to this $44 Oribe one!

What Is a Dry Texturizing Spray?

Part dry shampoo, part hairspray, this product is designed to give texture and some volume to dried hair. It does not take the place of dry shampoo. 

How Do You Use Dry Texturizing Spray?

This depends on the brand, but Garnier says from roots to mid shaft, about 8-12 inches, scrunching optional. Oribe says 5-6 inches from roots and tousle hair.

Dupe or Not?

They are both award winners, and for good reason. I like them both. 

The ingredients are similar. I was going to go through each ingredient, but I know y'all skipped to the end! ;)

But the Garnier is definitely more of a hairspray and has more hold--I have to immediately work to diffuse the product or it will get too sticky in sections for me. The Oribe is easier to work with and does not have the hold.

While I don't consider the Garnier to be a dupe, for the price, it is pretty darn close. A dupe that I have found is the slightly-cheaper-than-Oribe Sally Herschberger, found at Sephora.

Have you tried either?
