Batiste Dry Shampoo Brunette Review

I am a big fan of the regular batiste dry shampoos, so I had high expectations from this and expected to get similar results. Well I did get similar results, however I didn't like the colour. I have black hair and thought that the brunette colour would be a good match (there was no black option). I found the colour to be a bit too light for my hair but it wasn't noticeable once rubbed in and it blended well into to my hair. The thing didn't like about the colour was that it rubbed off onto my hands when I was rubbing it into my hair, making me use more product because it kept coming off onto my hands. Whenever I touched my hair during the day (especially my roots) the colour would rub off again.

Similar to the regular batiste dry shampoo, it was easy to spray onto my hair and left my roots oil free. My roots felt fresh just like I had washed my hair. I thought the colour version of the dry shampoo would be an added bonus as I thought it would blend with my hair better. However, I actually prefer the normal version because it's less messy and is easier to blend and apply on my hair. I wouldn't buy this again, and will be sticking to the normal, uncoloured, version of dry shampoo.

This is almost exactly the same as the original, but with one crucial difference... it's tinted. For greying girls like me this can help hide roots, plus it has the added benefit of - because it's not as starkly coloured, not needing to be brushed out *quite* so vigorously!

Like the original, you simply spray it on to your roots, and brush it through. Science happens (don't ask me what!) and the oil and 'wear' in your hair lifts and can be brushed out, leaving cleaner, less greasy locks behind.

The scent is quite strong, and powdery but doesn't linger badly as it doesn't actually cling to the hair - just give it a general residual freshness.

This product degreased my hair and gave it a little volume while helping hide greys. It's not holy grail but it's useful to have!

I was always weary about dry shampoos. My daughter always harassed me about not using it so I took the plunge.

I really couldnt believe the result. I used to wash my hair daily but now with a quick spray of this I can go 2 or even 3 days without washing my hair.

It is so easy to use. I do flip my hair upside down and spray towards the roots, not too close but maybe 30cm away. Then I give my hair a good brush and before you know it, you have great looking hair.

I love the Batiste original dry shampoos and when I was sent a few more to trial (Thank you Batiste team) I could not wait to try a few more of the Dry shampoo range.

I had recently dyed my hair a medium brown colour so it was a great opportunity to give the Brunette dry shampoo a go.

There were a few things I learnt when using the Brunette version. Less is more, comparing it to the regular dry shampoo, you need to have a light finger, if you have a heavy hand it will create brown ashy type crumbs that begin to break away at your scalp. This happened to me the first few times I used this, when I eased off the pressure and applied it with small amounts at a time it left no ashy heavy residue and I didn't have to spend much time rubbing it in.

I found the formula of the Brunette dry shampoo heavier than the regular dry shampoo, so I use this once a week or for emergencies like last minute coffee dates, important meetings, that sort of thing. It is a great grey hair hider, I have a trail of grey streaks that always try to seek attention and spraying this helps hide them until I get around to retouching my roots.

The fragrance of this is quite strong, its a mixture of vanilla and floral scents, after you spray the roots the scent starts to disappear.

Overall I will be purchasing this in the future, it took a few gos to get used to the Brunette version but once I got the hang of it, I loved it!

I'd heard the hype around these gorgeous smelling dry shampoos but was turned off by a bad dry poo experience years ago. After deciding anything was worth trying for a extra day of good hair. So glad I caved! Nice smelling without being too over powering this spray is easy to use, doesn't leave residue, soaks up extra oil and actually does work! Bought on special but would be happy to repurchase

I got this before work this morning when my hair just wasn't playing ball, I had about 10 minutes to get the dry shampoo and get my hair looking semi decent before starting work! I actually didn't even look at what I had picked up but I am so glad I did! My hair feels amazing 14 hours later, this will be my new go to.

This is a must have for me.. I used to was my hair everyday as they get oily fast. But having this handy thing helps postpone washes to every 2-3 days. Covers greys too and adds volume to my normally limp hair. Great to try new styles with it in too as its easier to shape your hair and it holds. Mines usually very fine and limp. I prefer using their dark brown version though as my hairs dark but this works too when the stores run out.

Definitely a step up for dark haired ladies, however I still found it looked slightly white. I didn't love it as much as I hoped, but certainly a better option for dark hair. It's also difficult to brush through, but once it's in it looks flawless. I also love the smell.

I love batiste! I usually use the floral scented can so when I saw one for brunettes in my trolley it went.

It is super simple to use, simply shake the can and spray all over your roots, let it sit then brush out. I love how this one can help cover any greys, it doesn't leave my hair covered in white powder.

Once brushed out it is magic and my hair looks clean and refreshed. The scent is quite powdery smelling but I don't mind it. I like to have a can of this on hand at all times as it is great for when I simply don't have the time to wash my hair or I just need a refresh.

Would totally recommend this for us dark haired beauties. Batiste you rock!
