VO5 Refresh Me Quick - Dry Shampoo

I usually buy the Batise brand, and my supermarket was out of stock so i brought this, WELL.... it def did not agree with me. i have coloured blonde hair and it left my hair white powdery and chalky. now im not the one to go overboard with products but this was simply terrible to use!

I thought I would give this dry shampoo since it was quite a bit cheaper than the Batiste brand that I normally get. I'm regretting that decision now.

I have quite oily hair and would usually need to use dry shampoo the day after washing, or if I wash my hair at night I usually use it in the morning. After applying just a normal amount of spray it doesn't really make any difference, I feel like I have to use A LOT of product for it to actually absorb any oil and it still doesnt compare to freshly washed hair at all. I have had this bottle for about 2-3 weeks and its nearly finished already, compared to the batiste which would normally last a couple of months at least.

It does sometimes leave a white powdery residue, which I suppose is unavoidable when I have to use so much. It does brush out easily though so that doesnt really bother me.

My hair gets greasy very quickly if I don't wash it daily so I brought this product on a weekend away without a shower available in hope of it masking some of the greasiness. I had no luck with this product after using it despite following the cans instructions. My hair felt a little better but still looked fairly greasy and oily towards the roots. The smell was pleasant enough but I wont be buying this again or recommending it to anyone unfortunately.

I always buy batiste dry shampoo but I do like trying new products, so when I saw this on special for $6 I decided to grab a can. The packaging is vibrant and girly and it is a great size can.

This sprays out super hard and fast.  Don't hold it too close to your head. I have black hair and the white powder that this leaves behind is insane. I have trouble trying to brush it all out. It is not a good look especially on jet black hair. The smell is not bad and it doesn't suffocate me like some other dry shampoos do.

Whilst it does refresh my hair I can't get past the white powder staying in my hair. The only way I can fix it is by spraying some water on my brush or lightly on my hair. But that just annoys me. I wouldn't recommend this for dark hair and I won't be straying from batiste again.
