Brunette essential

I love dry shampoo, I find it such an essential product for freshening up my hair, especially while travelling when I'm short on time. I was really pleased when I saw Batiste Dry Shampoo had came out with a version specifically for brunettes as so many dry shampoos have the downside of giving you visible white residue.

The aerosol spray can holds a lot of product and this lasted me quite awhile. The nozzle delivers a good amount and doesn't catch or stick when using. I like to use this by tipping my head upside down and being careful to direct it through my roots, using my hands to rub it in and pop my hair back into place. Not only will it take your hair from looking flat and limp or oily looking and leave it looking clean and refreshed, it's good for giving clean hair volume or texture needed for curling or up-dos.

This is such an essential hair product for me and the fact that as a brunette I don't need to worry about looking like I've developed grey patches has me continuing to repurchase this. Necessity for brunettes, although the blondes may be better off with another variant.

Tips: Keep a bottle in with your gym gear for rfreshening up post-workout when you don't have time to wash your hair.

Brown powder

I bought the Brunette version after being fed up with the white powder left behind on my hair with the standard Batiste dry shampoo. You can easily toussle or massage your hair to get rid of it but if you have dark hair you need to make sure it's all gone which is annoying when you're in a rush.

I enjoyed the Brunette version because there was only a faint ashy residue left behind which didn't require too much toussling to remove. It had a light warm scent (vanilla which I hate but bearable) which wasn't overpowering and helped keep my hair fresh. However there were 2 key things that I disliked about the product and are the main reasons why I didn't finish it and why I won't repurchase.

Product residue - I just wanted my hair to feel clean however whenever I used it I felt like I had a heap of hair products in my hair (day old mousse / gel etc). I don't put a lot of products in my hair because I hate that feeling. I prefer how the original feels in my hair it's lightweight as opposed to this one.

Tint - This is what drove me up the wall. It's designed for brunette for a reason because it sprays out brown powder. Argggh. I wouldn't have minded too much but it gets everywhere (it's a spray after all) and you can easily clean it off but if I'm rushing out the door?!

I think the product is good for styling because it feels like texturising powder but that's not why I purchased it for! I really wished this had worked for me but after a month of trialling I was done.

My head became itchy after a day

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.

Nice to have but not essential

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!

Tips: If you're using it to blend greys, then spray it closer to the visible grey, work it through, spritz the rest then brush out

Batiste Dry Shampoo Brunette

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.

Sham-poo?

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!

Tips: Lightly spray the roots, apply to your grey parts to hide them until you redye your hair.

Caved in and it was worth 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

Tips: Mini bottles are great for travel or just stashed in car for last min touch ups plus smell great too

How did I only just discover this!

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.

Must have for days you're running late ;)

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.

Tips: Just make sure you use with ease when spraying in to avoid white layers on hair and use from a distance. Give a good brush after a few mins while putting make up on and you're good to go :). Life safer on days you're running late to work and don't have time to wash your hair.

brunette dry shampoo

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.

Tips: you gotta really brush this one through, otherwise you still get the telltale powder marks, sadly.
