Hey guys! I've used this dry shampoo for almost a year now, and I've gone through 3 bottles (cans?) of the stuff. Originally, I wanted to try the Lush dry shampoo but this was cheaper so I thought I'd better try it first.
How it Works: You simply shake the canister, and spray a little onto the roots of your hair. Massage it into your scalp, leave for a few minutes and then brush out. It's really easy to use, and it comes in a variety of different scents (I picked this one at first because the canister is pink and loved the smell so much I repurchased). You can even buy 'blonde', 'brunette' or 'red' dry shampoo, presumably for those colours of hair. The powder is white (in this one, at least).
Value for Money: Batiste is £4.99 or £2.99 (depending on the size of the canister) from Boots. However, I buy mine for £1.29 (or something like that) from B&M, and it's basically the size of the smaller Boots canister, maybe a little less. I would say that it is good value for money, but if it's your first time trying it, maybe go for the smaller canister to see if you actually like it.
Verdict: Batiste dry shampoo is actually quite good. With college and other commitments, I usually only have time to wash my hair very other day. However, I don't use Batiste everyday I don't wash it. Sometimes my hair looks okay, especially if I put my hair up into a bun or ponytail. But sometimes my hair just doesn't want to play ball, and that's when I use Batiste, or risk looking like a deep sea oil spill! Batiste is generally very good at keeping my hair looking fresh and non-greasy. The 'Blush' one smells lovely (I can't speak for any others). The only thing I don't like is that, sometimes, there is still a bit of white powder in my hair after I've brushed it through. Of course, as my hair is dark, it's more noticeable than if I were fair, and I have to strategically place bits of hair to cover this. I don't know if the 'brunette' Batiste rectifies this problem - maybe I'll try it and let you know if it's any different. I also don't know how this product compares with more high end stuff, like the Lush or other, more 'professional' haircare brands. But I can say that Batiste is a good enough product for when hair is just slightly greasy (it's not so good for REALLY greasy hair), it's good value for money and it smells nice and fresh.
I'm going to give this product 4/5 stars, and maybe next time I go to Boots, I'll try the 'brunette' one and see if that helps the white powder problem. But definitely try it out, and let me know how you get on. See you soon!
