Batiste Dry Shampoo Review

Ok, firstly, I only heard of this stuff about two weeks ago, and ya'll already have over 450 reviews! HOW DID THIS HAPPEN!!

Right, onto my review. In order to do this, I need to set the scene: Hair is long and thick as a horse's tail. There, that should do it.

So I have super oily roots. This pretty much requires my hair to be washed and blow dried every 2 days. My hair is so thick, however, that it takes at least 40 minutes to dry. Its exhausting. To then have only one day of resting my arms that have somehow contortioned themselves in ways that leaves a dull ache to then have to repeat the whole sorry process is honestly leaving me grumpy and, frankly, grubby looking with oily roots!

"Get a hair cut, georgina_burke" I hear you, I've heard it all before. I get my hair thinned out now so that it only takes TWENTY minutes to dry instead.

So when my flatmates' started getting sick of me complaining, they started bleating about Batiste dry shampoo. I'm all "whatever" and decide that I might as well try it out instead of looking like a greasy homeless person.

Oh. My. God.

I am prone to be slightly over dramatic (not that you would be able to tell from this review) but this has literally changed my life.

I see a lot of reviews saying its given women an extra day, maybe two, before having to wash again.

Nah-ah, I've gotten FOUR. FOUR DAYS OF NOT HAVING TO GO THROUGH HELL AND BACK TO GET NICE LOOKING HAIR.

Ok, I think I have taken it a little far and should have washed it yesterday, but I'm making a point.

Its good. Its beyond good. I feel like I should stock up in case The Big One hits Wellington and I can't wash my hair. I'd be able to exchange a can for 8 litres of water and a small gas cooker, this is the next currency of my city and I will be the Boss.

I think this is really cheap for what it provides. The one I bought was tropical (I love coconut) so it smells delish. You don't have to use a lot so it should last ages and to be honest, its already saving me a lot of shampoo and conditioner!!

Stop what you are doing and go and get a can. I got the Tropical one and it smells like heaven. Off you go. Do everyone a favour and get a can.

You can thank me later.

This is perfect for on the go people from mums to students to hard working ladies, or lasses with long hair. Great for after a early morning workout when you don't have time to wash and do your hair. I personally love the Cherry one or just the normal, it does smell strong when you spray it in your hair but then it goes away. It does what the tin says it will do, it soaks up the grease and leaves your hair feeling soft. Love that you can get travel sizes which are perfect for keeping in your handbag or car.

The thought of a dry shampoo on oily hair was always my biggest taboo and all I could envision was having chunky lumps of gunk in the roots of my hair and followed by a charming look of dandruff.

Well... After reading the reviews from you ladies made me finally give in and see what it is that you guys are raving about and guess out to prove your ladies wrong that the concept of dry shampoo is just yuck.

Well I picked up a bottle at Farmers and price wise, 200ml is really not bad for $15. I decided I needed to be extreme on my first use and used this dry shampoo on hair that hadnt been washed for 4 days. The spray from the bottle is like a burst from a fire hydrant, because its quite punchy powerful. Its like a cool shot blast in your head which I didnt quite mind. After spraying my roots with the desired amount I felt my hair needed I rubbed it in vigorously in my roots until my finger tips went warm and there was no more clamminess in my head.

I brushed my hair and now I have to eat humble pie and surrender to Batiste and all you ladies. It really works! 4 days of non washed hair and after one use my hair was like brand new, freshly washed hair. No stringiness, my hair was light and fluffy and it was so soft. I was afraid it would turn into powder in my head but not so, and no white residue that would give me the dandruff look.

I've been using it for about a month now and I'm so addicted to this dry shampoo that it will never leave my hair care routine and is now a trusty steed in my product selection. I have recommended this to so many people already because I cant stop raving about it. This really is the perfect hair pick me up when your hair is slightly oily but ready to be washed. This works especially great when you want to style your hair in styles that need your hair to be about 2-3 days old i.e spiral curls without you having to be worried about oily roots.

Having seen these bad boys up and down my inta- feed for months now, I only recently decided to give it a whirl.

Not being one for hype, I was reluctant to part with $15 on something I wasn't 100% sure of. That all changed when I seen Batiste Dry Shampoo in the $5 bin at the Warehouse.

It really did wonders for my hair and actually made my regrowth look less prominent.

If like me, you’re always pressed for time and the act of washing, drying and straightening your hair is an actual mission. Batiste Dry Shampoo is def for you. It takes away that” gressy….I need to wash my weave” look, leaving your hair looking fresh and smelling pretty.

I use Batiste regularly and love it. Its so quick and easy to use, and keeps my hair looking good between washes.

I really enjoy this product. I will use them for added volume when styling my hair also. would recomend anyone to give it a go.

This is great for extending the period between washing your hair. I find it quite hard to even leave my hair a day without washing (I hate the feeling of oil on my roots) but this certainly helps me leave it at least 2-3 days. Love the different scents available too. Am currently using the blush one which I really like but am keen to try the coconut one next! The only thing dislike about this is I find I have to use a decent amount of product to get my hair to a point I am happy with. But the bottle is a reasonable size a pretty affordable so that's not a biggie. I can imagine this will be a life saver on future camping or hiking trips etc where washing your hair is not easy.

makes my hair look like i have tons of dandruff, even after brushing thoroughly! makes your hair have lots of volume and clean not oily anymore, but i don't like the whole dandruff thing going on :(

I have tried a few different brands and this one is my favourite. Tresemme sucks.

I was given a few of these at an expo i went to last year and love them.

My hair is fragile because it's bleached so the less washing and re-styling, the better. I also need volume, and nothing works better than dry shampoo to create tons of volume at the top (oil weights hair down).

This stuff is great maybe 3 sparse sprays and it's done, which is incredible. The scent in it deodorizes my hair and volumizes beautifully.

Although the white mist won't show up on my hair, i still have to brush it out and shake it out (flip hair upside down and fluff) because this product is PACKED with oil absorbing goodness.

A must have! Especially if running late for work also give roots texture if your wanting to volumise and not heavy
