Batiste Dry Shampoo Review

i was out shopping and i went to the bathroom and saw that my hair looked so awfully oily (i have thin hair that doesnt get that ouly very often) and before i could even think about it i was headed straight for a chemist to find me some dry shampoo, i chose batiste not only because i could get it in a handy travel size but i had heard such great things about it. after i purchased it i immediately put it in my hair, i worked but made my scalp so incredibly itchy and because i needed to scratch my scalp it made my hair greaser than it was before hand, and i couldnt walk around with awful hair so i just put a little more in but it ran out? i was a little confused maybe it was faulty but it just did not work for me at all. it smelled nice and made my hair look great, but it sure as hell didnt feel great.

My first dry shampoo attempt - I just had to try it out as there is so much hype about dry shampoos.

I got the blush scent - and found it to be more powdery than I would prefer.

As it's already quite a powdery formula - the smell of old powdery flowers doesn't really make it more appealing. I have spoken to others where they have used other scents and thought they were amazing, general consensus was that blush was not the scent to go for - guess I'm a sucker for pink.

I have dark hair so when spraying this seeing that its just a powdery spray - made me a little self conscious in case it was more visible in my hair - so if you have dark hair I would recommend to take it easy on how much you use.

Also, my scalp is a bit more prone to getting dandruff with leave in products (some more than others) and as I assumed, this dry shampoo did not help. Probably would be safer to either 1. Wash my hair or 2. Just leave it.

I like the texture it made my hair - a tad more voomph, but the trade off is that it makes dark hair look quite dull - and almost grey?

I have reviewed another dry shampoo that I used after this one (and that one was a bit of an upgrade) but at the end of the day - I feel nothing can really replace a good proper water and shampoo wash.

I would keep keep a dry shampoo handy for the sake of something a bit less intense than hairspray.

Another product i didn't enjoy that everyone else seems to love. I used the tropical one and i hated the smell, I normally love pineapple and coconut but my hair doesn't need to smell like a pina colada has been tipped through it. I have darker hair so it was really hard to rub the white powder in and my hair was left feeling pretty much the same as before i used it just more gluggy. I have better luck using straight baby powder.

I was very hopeful before using this product as it seemed to promise great things. Unfortunately, it did not work for me. My hair didn't look any better and it made my scalp quite itchy. I wouldn't use this product again, but if I could find this sort of thing that worked I would be thrilled as I normally wash my hair daily, so it would be great to find something that meant I didn't have to do that

I loved the idea of this especially coming into summer I brought the 200ml one in the floral and flirty blush Scent. It says to hold the can 30cm from your hair and I can see why. Unfortunately after holding the can so far away I ended up looking grey. My hair is very light brown and I still looked very grey. I found it very powdery like I just thrown talc in my hair. I did try massage it in and brush it but it wasn't going anywhere. Just stayed a big grey mess. I had to wash it out thank goodness I wasn't in a rush going out! It did smell good though. But that's where it ends unfortunately. It comes in a can like hairspray I love the idea of the smaller travel can one. Wish I brought the smaller one first to try it.

I received a bottle of this in a beauty box last month, I received the scent "Blush". I wasn't particularly sold on the scent for starters but it did grow on me. I sprayed this on my hair when it was oily and flat on top - the only effect this had on my hair was that it made my hair feel soft, it looked a little bit shiny but it still looked completely dull and flat and would not have been comfortable going out for an event. So disappointed!

I've tried dry shampoo couple of times and have found it a nightmare. My result every time, a fresh scalp topped with dandruff.

I love the smell of these products but in curls which should never be brushed dry shampoo is a no go.

I have dry hair that gets oily quite quickly at the roots. I tried this and it made my hair feel like it had been covered in chalk, it was almost hay like. It didn't make my hair feel clean or less oily and it only became harder to manage than before I used the dry shampoo. I have tried other dry shampoos in the past and have determined that they just aren't for me.

I bought some of this to take on holiday and should have left it there it was a complete waste of space in my suitcase.

This left my hair feeling like straw and made my scalp super itchy.

Hands down the worst thing I think I could have ever put near my hair and scalp I have had better feeling hair after an on-scalp bleach.
