Batiste Dry Shampoo

Advantages: Refreshes hair, lasts a decent time, lovely smell,
Disadvantages: Used up quickly, need to make sure its all rubbed in.

...reviews. After noticing that this Batiste dry shampoo was quite a popular product and seeing the many reviews written on it I got that fluttering in my tummy and that fidget of the fingers. I had try it! So on my lunch break last week I walked all the way up the high street (a good 20 minute walk) and spent most of my lunch on the hunt for Batiste dry shampoo. Oh the relief when I saw it glistening on the shelf! So I grabbed a can and looked after ...
...please! ** Who are Batiste ** Before seeing this on Dooyoo I had never heard of the brand Batiste. I assumed it would be a French cosmetics and beauty range. Wrong! The brand Batiste belongs to Fine Fragrances & Cosmetics LTD which is based in Sunbury on Thames. They have been operating since 1982 so they are a pretty new company. But they own a few other brands and sell the Batiste product in the UK and abroad. The company seems as though it has ... Read review

Advantages: Leaves hair looking clean between washes.
Disadvantages: The can isn't big enough!

...one I purchased is called Batiste Tropical, and it really does smell quite tropical! It claims to "refresh and revitalise hair between washes" and I can certainly vouch for that, as I can now wash my hair every 2 or sometimes even 3 days. Although even I admit by the 3rd day it is quite in need of that wash. I usually use this as soon as my hair starts looking greasy at the roots; I give the can a good shake and spray quite liberally towards my ...
...look when it's needing washed…well Batiste actually brightens the hair a little too…so appears to look cleaner. As I mentioned before this really does smell quite tropical, almost like a summer holiday perfume. Hard to put my finger on any one scent in particular but I think I detect a fruity, coconut smell, although it is not overpowering, but people do comment on how nice my hair smells when I'm at work. For anyone who is worried about ingredients ... Read review

Advantages: You can go out in public with greasy hair
Disadvantages: Your hair is still greasy

...with my greasy hair situation. Batiste Dry Shampoo. This product comes in a green can similar to a can of hair spray. The design is quite simple and old-fashioned which automatically made me have doubts about buying it but it was recommended by a friend with great looking hair so I took the risk. The can I have here is 200ml (although this includes 1/3 extra free). It cost me the bargain price of £1.99 from Superdrug. It can be found on the shelf ...
...their hair properly. Although Batiste Dry Shampoo has some bad points, it will still always be a constant feature on my dressing table. It’s an essential for bad hair day emergencies, and believe me I have plenty of those. I’d recommend it to all those greasy-haired people who are too lazy or too busy to wash their hair as often as they should. ... Read review

Advantages: Great concept for in between wet shampoos
Disadvantages: Living up to the concept

...***************************************************** Step in Batiste Dry Shampoo methinks. I had never heard of this concept before and being a sucker for anything unusual I paid my £1.99 for the meagre 150mls spray can, and had images of me actually managing to go for more than about 15 hours without the need for another wet shampoo – so can I? THE CAN …is mostly green. In fact it is exactly like that photo at the top. Rather old-fashioned ...
...one star rating, earned for the rather nice smell. Ho-hum La-di-dah Sorry I can't come out tonight...I'm washing my hair. Kirstyxx PS I lied in the rating below - Batiste Dry Shampoo is for all hair types, but the ratings didn't have that option! ... Read review

Advantages: Works very well, lovely fresh smell
Disadvantages: Hard to find

I've been using Batiste Dry Shampoo since I was a teenager, and that's going back quite a few years and it's one staple in my emergency kit for 'bad hair' days. It comes in a green can, a little bit smaller than a can of hairspray and I usually buy it from my local Sainsbury's for £1.99 for a 150ml can. Occasionally, I've been able to get it on special offer on, 'buy one get one free', but as I use it fairly infrequently, I find one tin usually lasts ...
...look. Not good! Lately, Batiste has brought out a 'Tropical' range. I tried this fairly recently, but I hate the overpowering smell of coconut. It actually made me feel nauseous. My hairdresser has been looking for this for some time, so I gave it to her and she loves it - and has been recommending it to her customers, I believe! I would definitely recommend Batiste for the odd occasion when either you can't be bothered to wash your hair and want ... Read review

Advantages: Clean hair on the move, nice smell and good results
Disadvantages: Can leave white residue on your hair if you don't brush out correctly

...As I suffer from quite thin hair, it only takes a couple of hours to look dank and lifeless after washing, then it goes greasy... When I was younger, back in the early 90s I used to dab talc on my hair, and so did a lot of other girls that I knew! It was all the rage. Nowadays, all you have to do is buy Batiste. They come in 3 "flavors" - original, tropical, and blush. Blush is the one I am reviewing, although they are all exactly the same apart from their smells. They come in 150ml bottles, which is around the same as a average deodorant bottle. However now, they have come up with handy travel size ones which are really good for fitting into going out handbags. If you feel your hair is greasy, all you need to do is spray the Batiste onto your hair from around 30cm away, so it appears light on your hair. Then use your... Read review

Advantages: Absorbs grease and restores a bit of volume, smells good, time saver
Disadvantages: Doesn't leave hair shiny and glossy; quite expensive

...tended to put me off though is the overpowering sickly sweet scent of the range, which to me smells like a 5 year old went mad applying her Mum?s perfume and then went for a trip through Willy Wonka?s chocolate factory. My normal choice of dry shampoo is Batiste and for years this was the only one on the market, but I was tempted to buy Lee Stafford?s offering after reading a review that said that this had a lovely subtle floral smell, more like a perfume. To me, the smell is where Batiste falls down, the normal version doesn?t smell particularly great, and the Tropical version is hugely overpowering and so distinctive that I can?t help but feel that the poor people subjected to it on the train in the morning must be thinking ?Yuck, she?s not washed her hair again this morning.? So something a bit more subtle that didn?t announce... Read review

Advantages: clean, fresh hair that smells as good as it looks
Disadvantages: More expensive than Batiste

...and condition properly depending upon which conditioner I use, if I opt for a leave in conditioner than it is highly likely I am going to take up to half an hour to sort my hair out, so again when I am in a rush to leave the house or get to the gym after work, I don't want to have to wash my hair both before and after. So whilst in a panic in the middle of Boots last month I was gutted to find that they had no Batiste in stock at all and was told they didn't know when the next delivery was and the helpful assistant told me that there was plenty of other dry shampoo's to choose from in the meantime. I have never looked at using another brand if I am honest and nor did I realise there was so many options to choose from, Boots even do their own version although as I wasn't impressed with their scalp conditioning shampoo I decided not to try their...
