    Description

    HAIR 101: Charcoal + Hemp Hair Blotters (25 blotters)

    Extend good hair days—without spray, powder, or buildup.

    HAIR 101 Hair Blotters are a clean, lightweight alternative to dry shampoo. Designed to absorb oil, sweat, and daily grime directly at the scalp, these blotter papers help refresh hair and extend styles—without aerosols, residue, or irritation.

    No spray. No white cast. Just fresh-feeling hair that lasts longer.

    Award-winning and featured on The Cut.

    Why You’ll Love Them

    • Absorbs oil, sweat, and scalp buildup

    • Helps good hair days last longer

    • Lighter and cleaner than traditional dry shampoo

    • Naturally deodorizes without fragrance overload

    • Biodegradable and easy to use anywhere

    These blotters work by removing excess oil—not masking it—making them a smarter choice for scalp care.

    How to Use (Pro Tip)

    Gently press and rub the blotter directly on the scalp and at the roots, rather than the surface of your hair. Focus on oily areas around the crown, hairline, or part for best results.

    Perfect for travel, workouts, long days, and between washes.

    Key Ingredients

    • Charcoal – Draws out impurities, absorbs excess oil, and naturally deodorizes

    • Hemp – Eco-friendly, non-toxic paper alternative

    No powders. No aerosols. No sprays.
    Just blot, lift, and go.

    Scalp-First & Thoughtfully Made

    • Safe for all hair types and hairlines

    • Designed to be gentler than spray dry shampoos

    • Biodegradable blotter papers

    • Spray-free and mess-free

    Made in the USA from globally sourced ingredients.

    Shipping details

    What is processing time?

    Processing time is the period between placing your order and the package being handed to the shipping carrier.

    Most orders are processed within 2–5 business days, Monday–Friday excluding holidays.

    During this time, your item may be picked, prepared, produced, finished, assembled, personalized, packed, or otherwise made ready for shipment.

    Shipping time does not include processing time. Carrier transit begins after processing is complete and the package has been accepted for shipment.

    Where does my order ship from?

    My American Goods® uses a hybrid fulfillment model.

    • Some products are stocked and shipped directly by My American Goods.
    • Other products ship directly from the independent American brand or maker.

    This allows us to offer a much broader selection of American-made products while supporting the independent businesses that make them.

    Why might my order arrive in multiple packages?

    Products in the same order may ship from different fulfillment locations.

    As a result, items may:

    • Ship on different days
    • Arrive in separate packages
    • Have different tracking numbers
    • Use different shipping carriers or services

    Receiving one package does not necessarily mean the rest of your order is missing.

    How are shipping rates calculated?

    Because products may ship from different makers and fulfillment locations, shipping rates can vary by product or brand.

    • Some products or brands qualify for free shipping above a specific threshold.
    • Other products may use flat-rate or carrier-calculated shipping.
    • Products shipping from separate locations may generate separate shipping charges.

    The applicable shipping cost is shown before your order is completed.

    When will I receive tracking?

    Tracking information is emailed once your item has been prepared and shipped.

    For handmade, made-to-order, pre-order, or specialty products, tracking may not be available until the applicable preparation or production period is complete.

    If the expected processing period for your item has passed and you have not received a shipping update, please contact us.

    Carrier delays & missing packages

    After a package has been accepted by USPS, UPS, FedEx, or another shipping carrier, transit may be affected by weather, holidays, peak-volume periods, transportation disruptions, or other carrier conditions outside our control.

    Shipping and delivery timelines are estimates unless expressly stated otherwise.

    If tracking shows Delivered but you cannot locate the package, check:

    • Household members
    • Neighbors
    • Porches, side doors, garages, and other delivery areas
    • Parcel lockers or building mailrooms

    Carrier scans can occasionally appear shortly before final delivery. If the package still cannot be located, we can assist with a carrier investigation.

    Shipping address accuracy

    Please review your shipping address carefully before completing your order.

    Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate delivery address.

    Packages returned because of an incorrect, incomplete, or undeliverable address may require additional shipping charges before they can be sent again.

    The Story behind RECESS

    RECESS was founded by Jackie Stauffer, who saw a need for a better way to stay fresh while living a busy, modern lifestyle — without relying on showers between workouts, commutes, or errands. From that insight came a line of clean, biodegradable, unisex wipes crafted in the USA that help people feel confident and refreshed from face to body and even hair. We love RECESS because it champions practical self-care rooted in simplicity, accessibility, and thoughtful formulation — making wellness easier for everyday life while supporting sustainable, American-made personal care.
