A groomer on the Facebook Grooming list asked:
I know you are really familiar with Chris' products. How does this (Dry Breeze) compare with his other two waterless shampoos?
Chris Christensen No-Rinse Products. To distinquish:
Show Off - a water based spray on cleanser that whitens whites and brightens colors. Spray on dirty areas liberally, rub gently with towel to remove dirt, and dry as usual. No rinsing required. Advantage: coat brightener. Uses: When cleaning is desirable without bathing and rinsing, and the coat can be dried and restyled. Example: Terrier furnishings, Bichon Frise feet or faces in between wet baths.
OC Magic Foam - a water based clarifying formula in a foaming dispenser. Great for spot cleaning and to break down product build-up. Advantage: foam allows product to spread without as much saturation or wetting of hair. Contains an ingredient to break down stain as well as build-up. Less likely to weigh down coat. Hypoallergenic, no fragrance. Uses: Spot cleaning of mouths, under tails, hocks, or furnishings that have been chalked or sprayed. Can be used as a foaming face cleaner in the tub, especially for animals that resist face rinsing.
Dry Breeze - a waterLESS dry shampoo in an aerosol. Has a nice, fresh fragrance. Dries almost instantly. Spray, wait a minute and wipe with a towel and/or brush with a bristle brush. Advantage: Freshens coat without requiring re-styling or drying. Absolutely weightless. Uses: To dry clean coats where water saturation is undesirable or impractical. Examples: terrier jackets that need freshening and crispness of texture, drop coats that have begun to separate or fall between wet baths.
"Maggie" Border Terrier, featured above, is a pet terrier that gets hand stripped in order to preserve the texture and color of her coat. Her coat was cleaned and freshened with Chris Christensen Dry Breeze, in order to preserve the firmness of the jacket. When groomers shampoo hand stripped coats, they become soft and fluffy. Hair that you elected not to remove on that day will often stand up and wave at you after a wet bath. Arghhh! Chris Christensen Dry Breeze avoided that problem with Maggie's grooming. This coat looked and felt great when done, and she smelled fresh and clean!
